Onchan MHK Zak Hall says he feels his chosen stance on a number of issues might make it difficult for him to accept a role back in government.
The member is now the only MHK outside government, after a number of appointments announced last week. They included Peter Karran accepting a position in Home Affairs.
Mr Hall says he was offered a role by the Chief Minister, Allan Bell but wont say what that role was:
Knives and 'sharp metal objects' found in Douglas Council recycling box
Local authority says such incidents 'must stop'
Bus drivers to go on strike
Walkout expected to last 10 days
Taxi driver remanded in custody after admitting £11k cheque fraud against father
Magistrates commit 46-year-old to higher court, citing seriousness of offences
Island businesses invited to FSA events
It's to strengthen awareness about financial crime
