Fred the shred Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Both the Garff MHK s leave a lot to be desired the trouble is getting people to stand for election there is not a lot of incentive for people who have the ability to really make a difference, would you give up a good job with probably more money, chances of promotion and security for a position with a fixed tenure leaving aside the personal abuse and criticism you get directed at you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re spot on there which is probably why Smith didn’t really have a job when he stood as you can tell by the unbelievable, and yet non specific, waffle he provided about what he does in his manifesto. https://iomelections.com/2021/media/manifestos/Andrew Smith.pdf I would also bet that the salary Smith is now drawing for ostensibly doing absolutely bugger all is likely the best wage and pension package that he’s had in the last 25 years. Like a lot of MHKs in fact. The only thing I’m amazed about is your last point about abuse and criticism. Martyn Perkins seemed to draw a lot and yet with Smith the guy literally does absolutely fuck all and yet seems to get relatively little. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Peters Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Certainly. Many people seem to think that the more vocal an MHK is, the better they are as a politician. In my opinion (and it's only that) the reverse is true. It's the ones who aren't constantly chasing headlines who are doing the most real work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
