Fred the shred Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Next Tuesday In Tynwald MR Hooper will table a motion to remove the Bishop’s vote, information c/o IOM News Today. Well done Lawrie there is no place in politics for religion. This has been demonstrated time and time again when the god botherer ,Justin Welby , has stuck his beak into politics over the water. I really hope this gets voted through Joney F. had a go a little while ago but apparently kicking him out of Tynwald was a step too far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Bash the Bishop time, especially when your backs up against the wall! I hope they vote it through, and I hope the island has no Bishop or CofE representation. Be careful for what you wish for. Before long there will be no Hooperman, as I’m sure CM Cannan will tire of his antics, his performance in general and his overall demeanour. I find it rather amusing in a way that the island has a myriad of problems, particularly social issues, yet both Hooperman and Joney Faragher are concerned with tinkering, and pet hobby horse issues. It’s hardly going to help the poor, sick and needy of Douglas East and Ramsey. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackwhite Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Lawrie should win this comfortably. He comes across like an accomplished bishop basher. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will not get through. Hooper, and to an extent Faragher, are effectively kicking themselves out of Tynwald. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the shred Posted November 2, 2023 Author Share Posted November 2, 2023 I don’t consider the Bishop’s vote is a hobby horse issue. There are a lot of people who really do not think that religion should influence politics and that is what MHKs should be doing bringing the concerns of their constituents to Tynwald. There are probably a lot of poor, sick and needy people who share this view. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially CoMin who can’t line up the voting with promises of departmental decisions or progression of other personal agenda policies. No, I prefer the moral vote left as it is.

It is 2023, not 1823 I agree but will be very surprised if this goes through. How many of our MHK’s have the backbone to vote for this. Seeing their name as voting for it .

TheTeapot Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 How did Glover and Moorehouse vote last time? I'm assuming they both voted to keep the bishop, maybe I'll send an email, I wasn't one of Jason's 400 on the other issue and he (they both) voted the wrong way there.

TheTeapot Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Also, why is Hooper bringing this? Needs a boost? Trying to do something he thinks will be popular? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
