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:
Assisted Dying Bill mover given leave to make statement in Tynwald
Alex Allinson had been hoping to bring amendments
Wastewater works completed on Kewaigue Hill
Traffic to return to normal
Onchan MHK: 'We need to rebuild public trust'
Callister yet to confirm if he's seeking re-election
Development of electronic visas is a 'work in progress'
Isle of Man collectively putting pressure on UK Government alongside Channel Islands
Northern Civic Amenity Site to reopen
It had been closed for 'essential work'
