Junior Chamber of Commerce event says no to political parties
The idea of a party political system on the Island was overwhelmingly rejected at a special debate last night (THURS).
LibVan members Kate Beecroft MHK and Lawrie Hooper were arguing their case for the change - with MHKs Chris Robertshaw and Howard Quayle arguing against the motion.
Around 50 people attended the ILS World and Junior Chamber of Commerce event at the Sefton Hotel in Douglas.
Afterwards, these people gave their views:
Bird flu confirmed after wild buzzard found dead near Bride
Warning issued by DEFA but no restrictions imposed
Call for renewed focus on equality and accessibility in government
MLC says existing schemes ‘not fit for purpose’ as debate over representation continues
Isle of Man Freemasons to lay wreath ahead of Remembrance Day
Over 250 bikers carry wreaths to Staffordshire
MHK won't pursue removal of Bishop vote further if bill is rejected
Lawrie Hooper believes matter has been 'fully explored' through recent report
