Former Minister's view on MLC's suggestion
A suggestion that the Isle of Man could do better by ceding its independence has been rubbished by a nationalist former minister.
MLC Juan Turner put forward the idea in a post on social media this week.
He claims making the Island a constituency of Westminster could give us access to UK Government grants, whilst allowing us to 'maintain control' of our finances.
The Isle of Man has been a self-governing Crown Dependency since the eighteenth century.
But Mr Turner's former colleague Phil Gawne says our position makes us richer:
Manxman sailing cancelled following late arrival into Douglas
Calls for 'transitional protections' for migrants on five-year immigration path
'No decisions have been made' over future of Ballabeg Methodist Church
Manxman's departure to Heysham delayed
MHKs question whether horse tram costs are a 'bit of a nonsense'
