Alderney States member Bill Walden couldn't resist a parting shot at former colleague Richard Cox during last month's meeting.
Mr Walden, who recently won a place on Guernsey's Public Services Department, spoke shortly before the States agreed to hold a by-election on June 28 to find Mr Cox's successor.
He said: "As someone who was once described as an enemy of democracy by the former member, I support this proposal and hope there is a good field of candidates."
Mr Cox, who resigned on April 30 to take a PhD at King's College, London, delivered a parting shot of his own in May, by describing the atmosphere among States members as "poisonous".
The 75-year-old severely criticised Policy and Finance chairman Richard Willmott in a letter to the Journal, saying his "group", which according to Mr Cox included Mr Walden, is unable to accept political criticism.
He also called on the electorate to watch out for unnecessary secretiveness .
The States unanimously agreed that nominations for the upcoming by-election should be received by 4pm on June 17.
Whoever replaces Mr Cox will hold office until the remainder of his term, which ends on December 31, 2010.
