Abstract: The governance of small states and territories is difficult for a variety of reasons, not least the inability to take advantage of economies of scale. But smallness also means that decisions are based heavily on personal connections. This is true in elections, with candidates being elected on a personal vote and not necessarily because of their policies or party affiliation. The problems are accentuated in islands which have their own distinct identity. [excerpt]
