Process could be reformed
An MHK is aiming to simplify the way people are elected to the Legislative Council.
North Douglas member David Ashford is taking a bill, which passed its first reading this week, through the House of Keys.
If it succeeds, the process of electing MLCs could be reformed without the need to redraft legislation.
At present, a candidate must receive a minimum of 13 out of 24 votes to be elected to the upper house.
Mr Ashford explained to James Davis new, yet to be defined proposals, will shortly be debated.
Island's finances 'in a better position than most other jurisdictions'
Completion of assisted dying bill 'the most significant moment of 2025'
Keep dogs away from Garwick Beach for next few days
Cost of sending a letter on the Island to increase in January
