LVP trebles membership in Keys

It was a fairly successful general election for the Liberal Vannin Party.

Peter Karran topped the poll in Onchan, with fellow Lib Van member Zac Hall joining him in the constituency, at the expense of Adrian Earnshaw.

Bill Malarkey was elected to the Keys as a Liberal Vannin candidate in 2006, but later resigned from the party.
