Allinson critical of trolls
If a more diverse membership of Tynwald is to be encouraged, online abuse needs to stop - that's the view of Ramsey MHK Dr Alex Allinson.
He says those from different backgrounds need to feel safe to come forward and enter Manx politics, without feeling threatened by vitriolic and personal criticism.
UK politicians have spoken out about the 'mindless abuse' they've suffered online -an inquiry has now been established to investigate the matter.
Dr Allinson told Manx Radio that during last year's Island election, many candidates came under fire:
Steam Packet Company working to 'restore Manannan to full operational speed'
Delays expected on A1 as road repairs continue at Crosby Rise
Treasury rejects medical society’s criticism of proposed NHS levy
Delays to Manannan sailings between Douglas and Liverpool
'Every second counts' when responding to an emergency
