Howard Quayle pleased with new process
The Chief Minister says the latest member of the Legislative Council has the rest of the year to underline her value.
Solicitor Jane Poole-Wilson won her seat convincingly yesterday (18 May), defeating two other candidates, advocate Paul Beckett and former police officer Alan Wright.
Howard Quayle says he is pleased, not only with Mrs Poole-Wilson's arrival in Manx politics, but also with the way it was achieved:
