Junior Chamber of Commerce event says no to political parties
The idea of a party political system on the Island was overwhelmingly rejected at a special debate last night (THURS).
LibVan members Kate Beecroft MHK and Lawrie Hooper were arguing their case for the change - with MHKs Chris Robertshaw and Howard Quayle arguing against the motion.
Around 50 people attended the ILS World and Junior Chamber of Commerce event at the Sefton Hotel in Douglas.
Afterwards, these people gave their views:
New grading system will 'drastically reduce' police exposure to indecent images
It's hoped change will also speed up prosecutions
Call for referendum on wind farm proposal garners hundreds of signatures
Concerns over bird safety, blade recyclability and Island scenery fuel calls for a public vote
'Several incidents' of littering, damage and graffiti reported on Port Erin beach
Broken glass found in the sand described as 'particularly dangerous'
Poor weather stopped GNAAS responding to four Manx emergencies in the last year
Storms Darragh and Éowyn among those to blame
