Low interest in local authority elections not just a Manx problem
A pay packet is not the right way to encourage more people to stand for local government seats.

But Mr Boot thinks the problem exists on a wider scale:
Government issues clarification on proposed changes to public housing policy
"There is no proposal to reduce the 10-year residency requirement"
