In 2016, at the start of the then new administration, I sent emails to the newly elected in our constituency asking if/when either of them were going to ask the CM to provide an update on what had been achieved up to that point. Zero on all levels, no response and no update. The whole thing was binned. A complete waste of resources. This latest effort will probably go the same way. It will be forgotten within 2 years and we'll probably only see one or may be two department's reports laid before Tynwald before something more urgent needs to be dealt with. The style and content of the CM's Introduction is most definitely not from his hand. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 The Nations Propaganda Mouthpiece this morning is giving plenty of airtime to KLB who is doing nothing but bullshit. PlanFlex, Yearly Tynwald Conference are the latest buzzwords being trotted out. Do the public get a say with this conference, or is an extra special extraordinary extravaganza, an orgy of hot air super Tynpotwald sitting. It’s beginning to sound more like a civil servants and politicians wet dream. It’s obvious they are carrying on from the last administration. I thought Alf had got away from all the gimmicks and stunts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously Alf has zero control over them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two months after the election (though to be fair it's more like seven weeks) the governing party releases the first draft of its manifesto. Let's not be too hasty here. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non-Believer Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 And what about this? Putting the people first and holding hands up in accountability? This will be viewed as sacrilege by some in the CS..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2112 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 What a complete and utter fiasco Alfie’s chumps in COMIN have done in todays Tynpotwald. The motion failed to carry and .8 MHKs voted against and consequently it has to be redebated in February Tynpotwald. Former CM was useless but he at least was able to get his showpiece policies voted through. This document was a complete work of a modern version of Manx Fairy Tales.

KLB and Alfie could even get a major COMIN policy through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically you're complaining that the Island Plan is completely useless and that Tynwald didn't pass it. I'm reminded of the old joke about two old ladies sitting complaining in a restaurant: "The food here is terrible!" "Yes - and such small portions!!" 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 So 6 months after the General Election the governing party will agree its manifesto. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
