MEC VANNIN------IRREE SEOSE VANNIN

 

FREE MANNIN NOW!!!

[TerryMcCann]

Does this mean we'd have to get our own army and navy? Somebody ring the Steam Packet. Tell them not to sell the Lady of Mann. I'll get the grey paint

[nipper]

Dream on, Mec Vannin.

 

Have a few more beers mate, and tell us some more of your fantasies.

[(Not) MEC VANNIN]

Does this mean we'd have to get our own army and navy?

 

Yes,off course we are going to have our own army and navy,as well as Germany,Italy or France does.

 

But,fist off all,we need OUR OWN CONSTITUTION

 

The national independence of Mann would require the restructuring of governmental responsibility and constitution. Tynwald would be retained, but headed by a President who is elected by direct universal suffrage. Whilst Tynwald may still comprise two houses, there would be no non elected members to these houses. Election to the Legislative Council would be by popular vote. As all "Crown" appointments are abolished, Tynwald and the President would take sole responsibility for National Government.

 

All Tynwald members would be required to publicly declare their financial interests and external affiliations.

 

The Manx Government would take direct responsibility for its international affairs and negotiate its own relationship with the E.U..

 

Local Authorities would be retained with full power to manage their own affairs.

 

Then we would make OUR OWN ARMY AND NAVY.

Dream on, Mec Vannin.

 

Have a few more beers mate, and tell us some more of your fantasies.

 

Mark my words,friends,10 YEARS FROM NOW,WE WILL HAVE OUR INDEPENDENCE.

 

And then you will learn that we are still slaves now.

[Mission]

What about a university, you'll need somewhere for the up and coming brains of the future to study won't you?

Would that mean conscription?

As a matter a fact,my friend,you are right.

One of first thing to be delt with in our new state will be EDUCATION

The historically proven concept of comprehensive, small scale and community based education is considered by Mec Vannin to be the most effective form of education for the Island. Mec Vannin is also committed to the principal of free education for all age groups.

In keeping with these principles, our policies include : The provision of government funded pre-school nurseries. Small sized classes in schools which allow for greater individual attention. The provision of an extensive careers advisory service throughout education. The establishment of a Manx University catering for both Manx students and fee paying students from elsewhere. Village schools should be preserved and their role as centres of community life developed.

 

In keeping with our policies on language and culture, Mec Vannin considers it vital to facilitate the provision of a comprehensive Manx Studies course in primary, secondary and further education.

[Declan]

Can I be the Manx Ambassador in Barcalona, please?

[Mission]

Sweet, that's a pretty decent education policy there dude.

 

What about health? Will there be provision for a national health service too?

 

Oh and what about housing, how will you address the problems of first time buyers? What about the abuses of public sector housing, will you be able to deal with that too?

 

What about currency, will you introduce a new currency for the island?

[TerryMcCann]

Can I be the Manx Ambassador in Barcalona, please?

 

Good shout. I'll have Australia. What is Mec Vannin's policy on Ferrero Rocher at my receptions?

[nipper]

Control would not be in the hands of 'the people' or for that matter the politicians. Control will be, as it is now, from a higher echelon.

 

There would have to be a Revolution. Seriously.

 

So.

 

1. Gather support

 

2. Coup d'état

 

3. Declare UDI

 

3. Burning at the stake of all people who have a need to wear those silly curly wigs or aprons etc. to proclaim their importance.

 

4. Find their pals. Ditto

 

5. Then Mec Vannin can do all the things they want to do.

 

 

 

 

ps

In case any of the people named in item 3. above, have a fix on my isp, I'm only joking and am not trying to incite a revolution. And I like you really.

What about currancy, will you introduce a new currancy for the island?

 

I am very glad that you are interested in Mec Vannin program.

I will be happy to answer you.

First of:HEALTH

In our opinion,there should be a single, free health service for all citizens, provided according to need. Community nursing and health care facilities should be maintained and developed as a necessary element of the Manx National Health Service. Mec Vannin is further committed to the provision of our own nurse training centre. We propose rationalisation of the health service by reducing the burden of bureaucracy upon the medical staff and reducing material costs by encouraging the use of generic rather than "brand name" drugs and consumables.

 

Then,The independent government would establish a National Manx Bank.

Taxation. Mec Vannin is not committed to a single taxation rate, but believes that there should be a sliding scale and a tax on speculative gains.

 

Customs Union. The independent Manx Government would exercise the right to determine indirect taxation, including V.A.T. This necessitates the cessation of the "Common Purse" agreement.

 

Rates. The system of Local Authority rating should be maintained with the opportunity for Grant Support from Central Government.

 

People being deprived of a decent standard of living for themselves and their families leads to disaffection and desperation which a truly caring society should be looking to alleviate before increased social problems and disharmony occur. It is the responsibility of Government to provide a wide range of benefits in order to relieve the pressures on those who, through no fault of their own, cannot achieve an agreed minimum income.

And this Utopia is to be funded from.....? Cut the link (albeit pretty remote now) with the UK replacing it with a fiercely (possibly extreme) nationalistic government and we will lose comfort factor for many who do business with us. I do remember Mec Vannin's pretty ham-fisted and laughable attempts at making their point in the seventies/eighties. Burning half built houses and sending a bullet through the post to some property developer (was it Judah Binstock?), hardly the bunch you would want to have running the affairs of the Island where a small slip can have profound repercussions. They didn't come across as a serious and well thought through bunch then and to argue that we will have our own navy and army just like France, Italy and Germany is, frankly, risible.

 

Why not turn your attentions to promoting the proposal and election of quality MHKs who can play the international field with credibility and put the interests of the Island (in its current constitutional form) ahead of their own?

haha

No need for that,Mec Vannin already has the support of about 60% of people of Mannin.

Those who say they dont support us are either scared to say it in public or dont even know our REAL GOALS,not the English-pigs lies.
