Why is there support for keeping boarders out, KWC rely on them ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asitis Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) For me, it's anyone who is not close to the "old boys club", it is time to let the light shine in on Manx politics.Policies developed in the light of day with explainability and accountability at their root should be better politics imo.

Quite agree. The issue is selecting those who will strive to deliver this. Based on the last 5 years which of the present incumbents would be ideal to vote in again, if they were all standing (I know some are reportedly not).

Whilst not in Onchan I would pick her over Callister , Quirky or any of the commissioners lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Skelly is standing down at the election, but he has thrown his hat into the ring to be El Presidente of Tynpotwald. Poor them. He has screwed up the economy of the island, if the Tynpotwalders vote him to be El Presidente, he can screw that up as well. Mind you, if HRH The Chief Minister stands, then I’d support Skelly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably won’t stand down if Watterson gets President role as gives him a chance of reelection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
