Only Speaker Watterson votes against
The 2020 budget for the forthcoming financial year has been approved by Tynwald but not unanimously.
Speaker of the House of Keys Juan Watterson was the only member to vote against the document of proposals presented by Treasury Minister Alfred Cannan, largely on the grounds he feels the process is undemocratic.
Mr Cannan feels choosing not to support the budget is unhelpful:
