GD 2020/0058 2020/21 1 Programme for Government October 2020 – July 2021 Introduction The Council of Ministers is pleased to bring its revised Programme for Government to Tynwald. The Programme for Government was agreed in Tynwald in January 2017, stating our strategic objectives for the term of our administration and the outcomes we hoped to achieve through it. As we enter the final year of this parliament, the world finds itself in the grip of the COVID-19 pandemic. This and other external factors, such as the prospect of a trade agreement between the UK and the EU, will undoubtedly continue to influence the work of Government in the coming months and years. What the Isle of Man has achieved over the past six months, in the face of COVID-19, has been truly remarkable, especially when compared to our nearest neighbours. The collective response of the people of our Island speaks volumes of the strength of our community and has served to remind us of the qualities that make our Island so special. At the beginning of the pandemic the Council of Ministers suspended the Programme for Government, and any work within it, to bring to bear the complete resources of the public service in the fight against coronavirus as we worked to keep our island and its people safe. Through the pandemic we have seen behaviour changes in society and in Government, and unprecedented times seem to have brought unprecedented ways of working. It is important for the future that we learn from the experiences of COVID and carry forward the positive elements of both what was achieved, and how Government worked together to achieve it. -
Women's Suffrage in the Isle Of
Education Pack Women’s Suffrage in the Isle of Man Contact Details: [email protected] 01624 685520 1 Introduction from the President of Tynwald It is still not widely known that the Isle of Man was the first place in the world where women could vote in a national election. In 2018 the United Kingdom is celebrating the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage, when women householders, leaseholders, and graduates over the age of 30 were given the right to vote in elections to the House of Commons. By 1918, women householders in the Isle of Man had been able to vote in elections to the House of Keys for 37 years, and women leaseholders had been able to for 26 years. A year later, in 1919, all women resident in the Isle of Man would be given both the vote and the right to stand for election, regardless of their property status. Unlike in the United Kingdom, there was no mass campaigning of the sort organised by the suffragettes. Instead, it appears to have been largely the work and initiative of individuals such as Richard Sherwood MHK, who worked to secure votes for women in the 19th century, and William Crennell MHK, whose efforts achieved universal adult suffrage in the early 20th century. These men were, however, undoubtedly supported in their mission by women and other allies, The Hon Steve Rodan BSc (Hons) whose names and deeds have sadly not been recorded. MRPharmS MLC, President of Giving women householders the vote in 1881 was the first in a long Tynwald line of extensions to the franchise, all of which can be summarised by the principle of ‘no taxation without representation’. -

Boundary Review Committee Public Consultation January 2013
Boundary Review Committee Public consultation information January 2013 The Boundary Review Committee has launched a public consultation on a draft plan for 12 two-seat constituencies for the House of Keys to replace the current mixture of three, two and one-seat constituencies. The move is in line with Tynwald resolutions that there should be equality of representation, that the 24 Keys seats should be divided into twelve constituencies with two Members each, and that the population size of constituencies should not vary from the average by more than 15%. At present the Island has two three-seat constituencies (Rushen and Onchan), five two-seaters (the four Douglas constituencies and Ramsey), and eight one-seaters (Ayre, Castletown, Garff, Glenfaba, Michael, Peel, Malew and Santon, and Middle). This means that some individuals have three votes each in general elections, some have two and some have only one – depending on where they live. There is also a considerable variation in the numbers of voters per MHK, from 49% above the average in Middle to 26% below the average in Glenfaba (based on 2010/11 figures). The 12 two-seat constituencies proposed in the draft plan published by the Boundary Review Committee are listed below with general and approximate descriptions. The names are working titles only and the Committee would welcome suggestions. • North – the current constituencies of Michael and Ayre plus the parish of Maughold, from Garff • Ramsey – the current constituency • East – Laxey and Lonan, from Garff, plus Onchan parish and -

2016 General Election Statistics Summary
2016 General Election Results It must be born in mind that, as each voter had two votes, which they may or may not have used, the only sure reflection of a candidate's support is the percentage of the potential vote in the constituency. This transpired to yield the same order of support when expressed as a percentage of the entire electorate This tends to endorse boundary reforms but the fact that Chris Robertshaw (Central Douglas) was elected with 42% of the most popular LOSING candidate's vote, shows that the system is a long way off being right Ordered by result as % of electorate Robertshaw Name Votes % of votes cast % of electorate Result Factor Dr Alex Allinson 2946 53.19 % 51.45 % Elected 0.22 Juan Watterson 2087 36.19 % 38.32 % Elected 0.30 Ray Harmer 2195 41.91 % 37.29 % Elected 0.31 Alf Cannan 1736 42.25 % 35.54 % Elected 0.32 Martyn Perkins 1767 36.35 % 34.86 % Elected 0.33 Tim Baker 1571 38.23 % 32.17 % Elected 0.36 Chris Thomas 1571 37.31 % 32.13 % Elected 0.36 Geoffrey Boot 1805 34.46 % 30.67 % Elected 0.37 Bill Shimmins 1357 33.54 % 30.53 % Elected 0.38 David Ashford 1219 32.07 % 27.79 % Elected 0.41 Carlos Phillips 1331 32.39 % 27.25 % 0.42 Howard Quayle 1205 29.78 % 27.11 % Elected 0.42 Ralph Peake 1177 30.97 % 26.84 % Elected 0.43 Lawrie Hooper 1471 26.56 % 25.69 % Elected 0.45 Rob Callister 1272 28.92 % 25.46 % Elected 0.45 Kate Beecroft 1134 36.01 % 25.22 % Elected 0.45 Daphne Caine 1270 26.13 % 25.05 % Elected 0.46 Andrew Smith 1247 25.65 % 24.6 % 0.47 Paul Craine 1090 26.94 % 24.52 % 0.47 Laurence Skelly 1212 21.02 -
