Non-Believer Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Judging by the Rates rises that some quarters have announced, it's obviously felt that poverty isn't widespread enough on the Island and the situation needs to be addressed... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people move in exalted circles and they don't know what life is like for people who are struggling. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iomtimes Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Strategy. Reports. More strategies. Honestly, it really needs someone to scrutinise the ACTIONS of the current bunch of MHKs. I'd say "current COMIN" but we all know that the back-bench MHKs sitting on Departments are whipped as much as the "collective responsibility" MHKs of COMIN. Perhaps this is where the MLC's should be taking up the baton? Scrutiny is supposed to be their thing, except they're too busy being friends with the MHKs to do anything...

The Voice of Reason Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 1 hour ago, Moghrey Mie said: I don't appreciate you editing my post. Quite right. It’s really quite rude and not good practice. Snidy in fact. Those editing could say “ don’t you mean…..” etc and still make their point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been a DOI member for about a year now and have NEVER been told what to vote or say. I can’t speak for others but expect they would similarly disabuse you of this bit of urban myth. In the past members got an uplift for serving in a department, but not now. Means none of us NEEDS the job and I believe are motivated by a higher desire to be useful and contribute. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 .... but is it not pointed out to you when you join a Dept, the areas that you would be 'expected' to support the Dept and areas where you could be 'called upon' to support??? Almost like a ''Whip'' situation? Of course you can refuse and with the pay situation they don't have the hold over you they used to have. It would be interesting to see the Comin consensus?

Obliged to support the Dept's every motion before Tynwald. If you don't toe the line, you more than run the risk of being sacked as a Minister or removed from the Dept concerned. It's not just about losing Departmental uplift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
