Claim of waste and mismanagement in government
A prospective Douglas MHK says he wants to tackle what he says is waste and mismanagement in government.
Kevin Oliphant-Smith will contest next year’s general election standing in East Douglas – although he won’t stand in next month’s by-election because he’d only serve a year before going to the polls again.
Mr Oliphant-Smith says his experience standing in local authority elections has given him a good grasp of the issues.
And he says, if elected, there’d be a number of priorities he considers need urgent action:

Campaigner threatens legal action over Island's Assisted Dying Bill
Fishermen have herring quota cut for 2026
MHK welcomes move towards 'international best practice' over Budget process
Election candidate claims public meeting attendance 'unbalanced'
Fire service issues safety advice to e-bike and e-scooter owners
