The Tynwald joint committee looking into parliamentary reform was a waste of time.
That's the view of the MLC whose proposals were being considered by it, David Callister.
He wants the Island to be split into eight constituencies, each with three MHKs and one MLC, all of whom would be democratically elected.
But the committee has been unable to reach any sort of consensus on his plans.
Speaking live on Mandate on Manx Radio this morning, Mr Callister told Tim Glover he still had hope for them, though:
Gas supplier provides reassurance amid ongoing global market volatility
Farmers in race against time after freight backlog in Heysham
Further changes to sailing schedule due to tidal restrictions
Census 'still one of the most valuable statistical tools' for government
