A former MHK and long-time observer of the Manx political scene says plans to redraw constituency boundaries are a big step forward for electoral democracy on the Island.

The revised boundaries and maps can be viewed online at: gov.im/cso/brc.
They're available at commissioners' offices and libraries around the Island.
