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:
Bird numbers 'humanely managed' at St John's
DEFA issues statement on arboretum cull
Manx Wildlife Trust: Offshore windfarm ecological assessments 'inadequate'
'We do not agree that such mortality can be insignificant in a Manx context'
Kate Lord-Brennan not standing for re-election
Glenfaba and Peel MHK 'keen to return to the private sector'
"There is a seat for everyone on the Ben-my-Chree"
SPC boss responds to complaints of overcrowding while Manxman is out of action
