A Norwegian author who sat in Tynwald last week, as part of his research for a book, says he was very impressed by what he saw.
Morten Soberg is writing about the world's parliaments and spent a week on the Isle of Man.
He says the debates he heard were of a high standard, and something else caught his eye in the chamber:
Double-murderer Peter Newbery denied parole
Victim's family "really happy" with decision
Red Arrows display expected to go ahead as planned
Doubts had been cast because of poor weather
Fastcraft sailings experiencing delays
Departed later than scheduled from Belfast overnight
Mannin Cancers Support Group raising funds through 'Wheelie Good Cause'
The charity will auction 'legend' bikes at TT 2026
Five local authorities looking for by-election candidates
