2112 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I can see the February Tynpotwald sitting and the budget, being voted down, if Allinson doesn’t produce any rabbits out of the hat, or the magic money trees behind Government Offices, doesn’t bear fruit, especially the Southern MHKs if their campaign to keep Castletown Swimming Pool open.

They will all vote for it because they are all complicit. Assurances will be given about remarkable growth projections, sheets being balanced to the nth degree and courses plotted to calm seas and lands of plenty. Just as it is every year since the calendars started. So there will be nothing to vote against because they've all done such a good job. Only Alf used to rip into Budgets (Teare) in the past and those days are long gone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I think that whatever CM Cannan is dreaming, may become his nightmare, especially if the Southern MHKs and others get their way. Yesterday in Tynpotwald, the Island Plan Annual Economic Report was brought up for discussion without having been on the register. The NPM say that Tynpotwald debated whether it should be laid before the house, and they debated for over an hour and a half. What a farce, and embarrassing too. I can see before long, a vote of no confidence, aping the Channel Islands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Buggane Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 Could we have not registered "Lessons will be learnt" like we did the TT and receive payment from any government or huge corporation (post office England) that uses it. Or would we collecting most of the money from IOM PLC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Peters Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 If I ever said 'lessons have been learned' I was being ironic. For the record I think Alf Cannan is a good Chief Minister, but he has to work under the constraints of a democratic system. As BDFL I wouldn't be subject to any laws or limitations, and only require a small personal security army. And a Learjet. And a company Bentley.
