Chief Minister believes independents still best
The Chief Minister says results of House of Keys by-elections this year shows the Island largely doesn’t want party politics.
Allan Bell believes the election of another independent candidate in East Douglas last week again proves the Island would not be better served by a party political system.
The by-election was the fifth in six months and the fourth contested by Lib Van who have been unsuccessful in each.
Allan Bell thinks that reflects public opinion on the party system.
