Claim it's not truly treated like a national day
Tynwald Day is not a highlight of the year for the Manx nationalist party.
That's according to Mec Vannin's Mark Kermode, who's been speaking to Manx Radio from its stall on the fair field in St John's.
Mec Vannin has been campaigning for Manx independence for more than half a century.
Though today is the Isle of Man's national day, Mr Kermode says it's not truly treated like one:
Voters go to the polls for Manx General Election
82 candidates seeking House of Keys position
Upgraded CCTV for Ramsey to be funded by criminal cash
Authority believes it will help town 'stay ahead of the curve'
Public counters closed due to staff shortages
Passport, immigration and nationality services affected
Church service wants people to think more about impact of disabilities
Promenade Methodist Church event focussing on hearing and sight loss this weekend
