Do election candidates have nothing to say?
That's a question being posed by the Isle of Man Trade Union Council after what it calls an 'unbelievable lack of ideas and comments' from prospective MHKs.
The organisation launched its 'Axe factor' campaign several weeks ago, inviting candidates to provide details of their campaigns on a website, for union members in the Isle of Man to view.
With the closing date for nominations eight days away, seven candidates have provided details.
President of the Isle of Man TUV Angela Moffatt hopes it doesn't mean those who have declared are unable to communicate with an audience of public and private sector workers:
