I was listening to this and while HQ definitely said "collective" I was certain the Doc said "unanimous". I recall it because it made my ears prick up at the time. Hansard however has "ragheaded" the word off the records (assuming my cloth ears heard it of course).

Wouldn't be the first time PB and you probably did hear it right first time.

An even bigger blow to the airline industry than Covid 19... 😂

ETA. An ideal opportunity to phase out the Post and save some money?.

It was never previously required other than to give Charlie Kerruish a job and keep him pissing out of the tent rather than in, IIRC.

Job for the boys the position serves no purpose to the Manx Public.

For club members a huge salary and the opportunity to dress up in a wig. 
About time it was disposed of.

Perhaps half the number on twice the salary it may attract some decent candidates then.

Yes. Not many agree with this but it is the way forward. At least double their salary - attract the brainy and business-minded candidates who know how to steer a (sinking) ship in the right direction. The Moorhouses and Perkins of the world are not going to remove us from the absolute shite show that is our flailing economy. I would vote for an unlikeable but successful, clever businessman over a ‘nice guy’ ex-teacher/journalist/nurse type any day of the week - they would have less of an inclination to be there for the money having already made it.

All that essential travel too, in order to impart democratic process to all those savages in loincloths and strings of beads in those warm, far flung, fledgling civilisations.....

Word on the street has it that MLCs [some] are appalled at the idea Quayle might become LegCo chair

Mr Skelly is thought to be the 'stop Watterson' candidate
