I figured that would be the case for many. Can't remember who the original poster of the questions was, but there was a general consensus, that if any candidates took the time to bother filling it out, it would be wishy washy none committal answers. I aim to pleasantly surprise people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if Ged starts interviewing one he will effectively have to offer to give everyone equal opportunity. Could be a grey area on podcasts or whatever it is he is doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a grey area on podcasts or whatever it is he is doing I don’t think podcast channels count as a media organisation. That’s the defence that Roly Drower tried to run about AG, he was a journalist so he didn’t have to reveal sources. He didn’t have an NUJ card, IIRC, not sure if Ged does either 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a fair question, I reckon he's probably not a media organisation, more a hobbyist. However, if some fairness is required then it might mean less Josem, so that's a good thing.

Given some of the people he has interviewed, I can't imagine he'd turn any candidates down. Admittedly there are a fair few Manx politicians who would think podcasting is about throwing peas around. I think broadcasting rules may only apply after nominations anyway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think broadcasting rules may only apply after nominations anyway In the UK broadcasting restrictions only apply after the dissolution of parliament - when does the House of Keys get 'dissolved'? Here are the OfCom rules on broadcasting in election periods: Consultation (ofcom.org.uk) No mention of podcasting, which is possibly narrowcasting rather than broadcasting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from perhaps raising taxes which will drive investors away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
