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.
That's the view of Glenfaba MHK Geoffrey Boot.
Many seats went uncontested in local authorities at the last General Election.
But Mr Boot thinks the problem exists on a wider scale:
Prosecutor: 'Recording any other verdict than murder would be illogical'
Jury told they can consider manslaughter if they find teenager not guilty of murder
Several government websites taken offline 'as a precaution'
International media reporting worldwide issues
Douglas Council and Dublin City Council sign friendship agreement
Both authorities hope it will create a 'greater co-operation' between Islands
Campaigner 'considering options' after Assisted Dying Bill gets Royal Assent
Manx Duty of Care previously said it would take legal action against IOM Government if it became law
