A Norwegian author who sat in Tynwald last week, as part of his research for a book, says he was very impressed by what he saw.
Morten Soberg is writing about the world's parliaments and spent a week on the Isle of Man.
He says the debates he heard were of a high standard, and something else caught his eye in the chamber:
Trial for man who denies possessing and making nearly 62,000 indecent images
Will next appear before the Court of General Gaol Delivery
Drone restrictions during Manx Grand Prix
Anyone caught could be fined up to £10,000
Offshore wind farm will deliver £2billion for the Isle of Man, claims Ørsted
'Mooir Vannin' would be built within Manx territorial waters
FBI agents among speakers at Isle of Man Financial Crime Conference
Event focusing on major investigations, emerging threats and MONEYVAL review
