MLC hopes to harness young people's enthusiasm in politics
Efforts are being made by the Island's politicians to engage more younger voters in politics.
It's after a motion was put forward in Tynwald this afternoon seeking support for the introduction of a Manx Youth Parliament.
A committee will now determine exactly how it would be established and is set to report back to the chamber by October.
Tanya August Hanson - an MLC who tabled the motion - said giving young people a voice is vital:
