Future Guernsey, formerly Guernsey Partnership of Independents until November 2021, is a political party in Guernsey founded in August 2020 by Gavin St Pier, Heidi Soulsby and Lyndon Trott.

As the Guernsey Partnership of Independents, it did not impose a whip on its members, and effectively operated as a big tent grouping of independents.

History

When the party was founded, Gavin St Pier held the position of Chief Minister, a position he failed to retain in the October 2020 election for President of the Policy and Resources Committee.

In October 2020 Heidi Soulsby was appointed Deputy Chief Minister, a position she held until resigning from the Policy & Resources Committee in October 2022.

On 1 December 2021, the party was rebranded from GPI to Future Guernsey.

Lyndon Trott was elected President of the Policy and Resources Committee of Guernsey, becoming Chief Minister on 13 December 2023, following the vote of no-confidence in Peter Ferbrache. Soulsby was elected back onto Policy & Resources Committee in December 2023, as Vice President.
