Junior Chamber of Commerce event says no to political parties
The idea of a party political system on the Island was overwhelmingly rejected at a special debate last night (THURS).
LibVan members Kate Beecroft MHK and Lawrie Hooper were arguing their case for the change - with MHKs Chris Robertshaw and Howard Quayle arguing against the motion.
Around 50 people attended the ILS World and Junior Chamber of Commerce event at the Sefton Hotel in Douglas.
Afterwards, these people gave their views:

Man treated for non-life threatening injuries following Ramsey incident
Consultation open on plans to formally recognise the heritage of Douglas Head
Police dealing with 'serious incident' in Ramsey
Drop-in session to support Isle of Man charities
