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:
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
