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:
Edge lighting at Isle of Man Airport '50% unserviceable'
easyJet blamed 'failure of runway lighting system' for cancelled flight
Council confident for Manor Pub's future
Question marks over beloved establishment's future
Picking ministers with experience of department's remit 'will help government deliver'
DEFA Minister says she was delighted to be offered role
Rapists appealing sentence and conviction following retrial
Staff of Government Appeal Division hearing this week
