How will Manx activists be affected by election?
Manx union members generally aren't as 'politically militant' as their UK counterparts.
That from head of the Unite union in the Island, Eric Holmes, after Thursday's UK general election result.
Trade unions were under the spotlight, with many voters swayed by Labour's 'jobs first' Brexit strategy.
Now with a Tory-DUP coalition a strong possibility, the prominence and power unions will hold over the next five years has been called into question.
Mr Holmes says it will have a knock-on effect on membership here - but that, typically, Manx activists are not quite as passionate about their politics:
No public board meeting for Manx Care due to General Election
Chauffeur needed to provide 'professional and discreet service' for VIPs
Fire officer praises 'quick-thinking' staff after blaze at fire station
Chief Minister: 'AG not out to silence debate'
