Speaker insists Island is already well represented
Having an MP would dilute the Isle of Man's sense of independence.
That's the view of the Speaker of the House of Keys following a campaign to add constituencies in Westminster for the Crown Dependencies and British Overseas Territories.
Former Guernsey States member Anthony Webber is behind the draft bill, which has been sent to UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
However, Juan Watterson believes the Isle of Man is already well served:
