Thinking about it, these two are just Quayle incarnations. We've seen how they will just 'take it' from the fiddle playing farmer. I'm warming to the idea of say Barber, Poole-Wilson, and aye, Daphne. Juan Watterson is the ideal candidate in my view, but his ambitions and sights seem to be set lower, and he seems to have allowed himself to peak far too early in his career, which is a pity.

Like she did. when there were bullying problems in Nobles and she indicated could not say anything in case she wanted a job back there later? Yeah, some gumption. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alinson would be much more likely to include women. They'll both have women in there Cabinet. There is no way they would be able to get away with anything else.

Yeah, some gumption. It could be said that her statement was, in a roundabout and ironic manner, also highlighting the bullying problem. Bullied into silence lest she be punished for speaking-out? She wouldn't be the first to be silenced in such a way, nor the last I suspect... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What leadership skills had Quayle displayed prior to becoming CM - he'd been a disastrous health minister. Anyway it should be the policies and team around them that's more important than "having run a department" for CM. It seems there's Quayle has defined some non-existent rules that benefit people like Quayle ... Ministers must have served in Tynwald before. CM must have been a minister. Stupid "traditions" like this need to be done way with. If we keep following the same processes we inevitably make the same mistakes.

I wonder if super Tory fan boy Ashford will be doing the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much extra pay in return for one of a number of poisoned chalices where you put yourself up as a scapegoat for other people’s poor decisions and errors. No thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
