Rushen Spy Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I've been on here a while and although some people use different logins (I definitely do not) I'd still say there are at least 30 regular unique (as in, not the same person) posters on here.

Could you explain a little more what you mean there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushen Spy Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 (edited) Why would you say nothing? There's literally nothing the Clerk of Tynwald (or the "office of Tynwald") could possibly do to censure you, a non-member of Tynwald, in any way based on a complaint from a Tynwald member. Could you *hypothetically* suggest ways that a non-member could get in trouble? Edited June 20, 2019 by Rushen Spy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donald Trumps Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Presumably the Tynwald building has a little office in it, where members can go & complain about stuff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donald Trumps Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Oh no, just a small one - perhaps with glass framed windows - where honourable members can go & leave complaints about stuff It may not even be staffed Perhaps just a box marked 'honourable members' complaints' With a slot in the top 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you *hypothetically* suggest ways that a non-member could get in trouble? On the contrary, Contempt of Tynwald is a thing mentioned in Standing Orders and complaints can be brought against non-members as well: Quote (3) (i) Where a question concerning a person, other than a Member, is drawn to the attention of the President under paragraph (2) the President shall refer it to the Standing Orders Committee. (ii) Where a reference is made under sub-paragraph (i), the Standing Orders Committee shall – (a) investigate and report on the question, with recommendations; or (b) recommend that the question be referred to an ad hoc committee of privileges appointed by Tynwald to do so. (4) The President shall orally report a reference under paragraphs (2) or (3) to Tynwald. (5) Where a Branch or a Committee recommends under this Standing Order that action be taken by Tynwald, the President shall put the recommendation to the Court as a motion without debate or amendment. The whole thing is left very vague as to what such a contempt would entail, but there's no doubt it exists. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
