Is it time to revaluate constitutional ties?
The Isle of Man has considerable scope for greater self-government because of its small size.
That's according to Scottish academic Professor Michael Keating, who's running a project on changing constitutional arrangements between the UK, Ireland and crown dependencies.
He says these relationships are shifting because of devolution, Brexit and the uncertain future of the Northern Ireland settlement.
Professor Keating told Manx Radio it may be time for the Island to re-evaluate its constitutional ties:
