hissingsid Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 He is better taking his time and getting the right people in the right job, bearing in mind he can only work with what he has got. In private enterprise the Managing Director would know the board members had experience and skills to their name or they would not be on the board. Tynwald members are more rag,tag and bobtail with a lot of them voted in because they were best of bunch and not for any personal attributes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still working their bollocks off for you. Still Ministers as of tonight, and probably tomorrow as well. You are either Mr Harmer, Boot, Baker or Cregie and I claim my £5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I thought they stayed ministers until a new minister was appointed by the Governor. Obviously, they're lame ducks but they stay in place. Didn't John Rimington get flack for a controversial planning decision made between losing his seat and a new minister be named. (I tried to search back using his name, but it's mostly previous incarnations of Barlow wittering on about how he got the role because he'd been a landscape gardener once.)

They have no Ministerial remit any of them. I think you are incorrect ,they are still ministers until they are replaced ,and that doesn't happen until the new boys are given their warrant and authority form the Lt Governor ,wait for the line up next week and the picture of the new boys holding their certificates ! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current Ministers remain in position until replaced. If one of them resigns another has to take over the post temporarily (so Quayle has been DfE Minister since July when Skelly became President). They even get mentioned in press releases as the Minister. Cannan will currently be both Chief Minister (having been formally appointed by the Governor) and Treasury Minister. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New boys? New boys??? Let's hope this time around it's new boys and girls, rather than just a new old boys club. Although I would prefer new men and women. Semantics I know, but I get fed up with grown women constantly being referred to as girls, much more often than men are referred to as boys. It's one of my pet peeves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger (as always) is correct as I understand it. As an example, Manx Radio had Allinson on this morning in his present capacity as Minister for DESC, advising that he supported Ballakermeen regarding pupils staying at home because of staff illness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

747-400 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Oh well, I guessed quite well on the people front (6/8). Less so on the roles (0/8). Still feel Claire Christian would be a positive force in the Cabinet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
