Onchan MHK Zak Hall says he feels his chosen stance on a number of issues might make it difficult for him to accept a role back in government.
The member is now the only MHK outside government, after a number of appointments announced last week. They included Peter Karran accepting a position in Home Affairs.
Mr Hall says he was offered a role by the Chief Minister, Allan Bell but wont say what that role was:
Qualifying session cancelled due to weather
Mountain Course conditions unlikely to improve
Arrow returns to service after repairs
Steam Packet vessel spent several days in dry dock after oil leak found
Sixth candidate to stand in Douglas Central
George Hargreaves makes House of Keys bid
Reports of people not listening to marshals on day one of MGP
Police issue warning as qualifying underway on Snaefell Mountain Course
