Albert Tatlock Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 According to MR: "Members of the House of Keys will assess the suitability of the two latest candidates for the remaining vacant seat on the Legislative Council, later today." Michael MHK David Cannan has arranged a meeting where the two candidates will be questioned regarding their suitability and their policies. He also wants to know why they didn't put their names forward at the general election. Why is this even happening in a democracy? Everyone should be elected.
