Rules, punishments and suspensions could be investigated
An MHK says it's time for politicians to look at their own behaviour.
West Douglas member Chris Thomas will bring a motion to Tynwald next week, calling for the Standards and Members' Interests Committee to reconsider introducing new guidelines for conduct.
It comes in the wake of North Douglas MHK John Houghton's suspension over alleged 'bullying' last month.
Mr. Thomas says he'd like to see stricter rules, codified punishments and powers to 'recall' an election if MHKs act inappropriately.
He believes the time is now:
'Deterrent' sentence imposed for ketamine importer
Several sailings at risk or cancelled due to adverse weather
Glencrutchery Road to close to northbound traffic
MHK's shock over Hospice announcement
Sulby Straight closure in place this weekend
