The House of Keys serves the public and should spend more time answering members' questions.
That's the view of the chairman of the Positive Action Group, Roger Tomlinson.
He was speaking on Manx Radio's Talking Heads programme after a proposal from Michael MHK David Cannan to double the length of question time was defeated 17-3 by the House.
Mr Tomlinson says any move to increase the transparency of the political process should be welcomed:
No public board meeting for Manx Care due to General Election
But health body 'committed to openness and transparency'
Chauffeur needed to provide 'professional and discreet service' for VIPs
Opportunity to work at 'heart of Island’s constitutional and ceremonial life’
Fire officer praises 'quick-thinking' staff after blaze at fire station
Investigations continuing after incident which destroyed fire engine
Chief Minister: 'AG not out to silence debate'
Concerns over wind farm guidance issued to HoK candidates
