Terse Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Bloody hell - Bell wants Karran in government! I interpreted that more as "Will the hon member please shut the fuck up!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Bloody hell - Bell wants Karran in government! Magnanimous in victory. He can always change his mind later but that won't be in the public eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tugger Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 God, that nasty, dodgy little man will be surrounded by cronies and property developers, and in charge of us, for years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost Login Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Libvan gave Bell a coronation. they must be fucking delighted with themselves What depresses me is that we will probably have 5 more years of this from the LVP as PK will put down numerous motions that previously would not have been debated as they would not have had a seconder now. Now he will have so I would suggest that we will have much more of this going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

censorship Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I am absolutely convinced Beecroft caused that result. there are plenty who don't like Bell, certainly more than the two who spoilt their ballot papers, and yet that wasn't reflected.

Andy Onchan Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Karran knew that Bell would probably get the required majority but was hell bent on making it clear that he means to start the next administration where he left off..... being a pain in the arse......albeit using unconventional tactics. He'll be firing on all cylinders from now on and, as I said previously, there will be more of that to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt W E Johns Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Manx Radio played suitably depressive dirge following election of Bell. Wonder what it was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a difference between being a thorn in the side of government, which Karran does, and being a pain in the arse to the rest of us, which is what Beecroft has done.

wheels Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 This whole circus this morning leaves me with the impression that the next 5 years will essentially be a continuation of the previous shambles and that little significant action will be taken to address the main issues facing the IOM. The biggest problem facing us may not be external pressures but the Manx 'Government' itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topaz Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I suppose the Libvans will now oust Peter and elect Kate as leader...purpose served then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tugger Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Still, at least Manx Radio's "people's choice" got in, so they have proved to be good value for their subsidy, at least to Allan Bell (and MR staff, noone else though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
