Leader thinks party politics would help
Party politics can effectively channel the demand for change within a disengaged Manx public.
That's according to the leader of the Isle of Man Green Party.
Andrew Newton says there's real desire among the electorate to be more active in Manx political life and parties can provide an opportunity to do so.
The new organisation met in Douglas recently to formulate its policies, after being officially registered as a political party earlier this month.
Mr Newton says people need a forum to present alternative solutions to the government:
Hospice's 'essential core services' will remain protected
Chief minister to give fuel rise and bus strike updates in House of Keys
Visitors give tourism levy idea the thumbs down
Final reading for bill aiming to "modernise, streamline and strengthen the Island’s Criminal Justice System"
Fuel retailer says there's no need to stockpile diesel
