Days before Tywnald votes on far-reaching boundary changes for elections to the Keys, a former local authority chief says a much bigger review is urgently needed.
The Boundary Review Commttee has come-up with plans for 12, two-seat consitutencies to equalise the size of population-per-MHK. It would bring an end to the current mix of one, two and three-seaters.
But a former chair of Onchan commissioners Brian Stowell says the committee should have been tasked with reducing the overall number of national and local politicians - and re-drawing both Keys and local government boundaries.
Mr Stowell says an opportunity for vital reform has been lost:
Mountain Road to stay closed overnight
Horse Tramway business case 'under final review'
BMA finds less than a quarter of doctors recommend working at Manx Care
Thirteen people entered or tried to enter the Island without immigration permission since January 2025
Abuse towards bus drivers 'will not be tolerated'
