Chief minister accepts there are differing views
People are entitled to their views on the Lieutenant Governor, but the fact remains it's the constitutional position the Isle of Man is in as a Crown Dependency.
That from Chief Minister Allan Bell, who has been responding to recent comments from nationalists about the governor.
Mr Bell says he acknowledges there are differing opinions on what the role should entail:
Negotiators used to resolve 'peaceful protest' at prison
Prisoners refused to re-enter cells from exercise yard
Countering Financial Crime Conference taking place in Douglas
Talks on 'pig-butchering' and combatting transnational criminal empires
Over 3,000 affected by Cabinet Office data breach
Commissioner Dr Alexandra Delaney-Bhattacharya has issued it with a reprimand
No magic framework for 'arms-length' government bodies
There are ongoing reviews into the governance of several high profile organisations
