Great that they care but if you want to deal with such matters go and become a commissioner not an MHK. I have no time with MHK's who say they do not want to be part of Government and want simply to be part of the opposition. If you don't have anything to contribute don't stand and if you only want to scrutinise try and be an MLC. I can understand that an MHK might not accept being part of Government if they deemed voting rules etc to be to restrictive but to rule out when you have no idea what a Government's policies and procedures might be I don't understand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great that they care but if you want to deal with such matters go and become a commissioner not an MHK. Not sure how you arrive at that. Commissioners have very little power (no power?) compared to an MHK. The MHKs I know who deal with constituency matters can be delving deep into Government matters and beyond. 2 hours ago, Lost Login said: I have no time with MHK's who say they do not want to be part of Government and want simply to be part of the opposition.

The electorate decide. Peter Karran was seen as a sort of opposition in that he resisted becoming a Minister and often questioned what Government was doing. He was consistently voted top of the poll in Onchan and most times gained more votes than any other MHK on the Island. I'm sure SP will speak for himself, but I think he was more wanting to see how the situation was rather than go begging for a seat at the top table from day one, as some clearly do.

Stu, the guys an idiot just let him get on with it and don’t let yourself get involved like this. It’s unbecoming for an MHK. For what it’s worth I think you’re doing OK. Video was a good idea despite the inevitable detractors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
