A key figure in Manx studies believes voters will look far more at the bigger picture in next month's general election.
Historically, Isle of Man elections are often determined by local as opposed to national issues.
But, with pressures from further afield, Dr Fenella Bazin thinks more constituents will consider wider factors this time around:
Ben-my-Chree sailing cancelled due to 'technical issues'
All Manannan journeys are going ahead as planned
81 'unsafe squishy toys' seized
Parents urged to check for unsafe items
Manx Utilities open 'prior information notice' for Garff Sewage Treatment works
It says it's not a 'competitive tender process' at this stage
Island takes centre stage as TT film crew to return
Filming of 'Isle of Man' to continue next month
