  • Lon Pinkerton - Douglas South By- Election 2020” Or Please Give Me a Call on 336272
    Douglas South By-Election: Thursday 27th August 2020 Thoughts on… politics, representation & me Hello everyone and thank you for taking time to read this document. As a proud Manxman born and bred, I believe that Manx politics is unique and that our issues have their own special blend of importance to us as an island community. Our unbroken link of government back to 979 is a proud statistic. We were also the first national parliament to allow women to vote in 1881 and in 2006 we lowered the voting age to 16 in elections: https://www.tynwald.org.im/education/history/Pages/default.aspx Unfortunately due to unforeseen family circumstances I had to leave the island suddenly at the beginning of my campaign and I have been unable to meet you all on the doorstep as I been self-isolating with my family since our return home. To those of you who feel frustrated that you cannot find an outlet for your views I fully understand your feelings at this time. However, my family and friends who met you have told me that when they were delivering my original introductory manifesto recently door to door that the same concerns were being voiced by those they spoke with: mainly job security and public service provision. https://www.gov.im/media/1369832/200727-lon-pinkerton-manifesto- 2020-a5-v1a.pdf This message has also come through loud and clear to me since my return home as I have received contact from many of you via social media. I have gained much widespread experience over the last 30 years within the public services sector and taking on board your view that delivering public services is of vital importance to you at this time I know that this would make me a strong representative for you if elected to the House of Keys on Thursday.

By bringing together folklorists and brand developers, anthropologists and politicians, historians and economists, Taking Shetland out of the Box marks a major event in the emerging field of Island Studies and promises a broader dialogue on the opportunities and challenges facing island communities. With 57 speakers representing 22 sovereign states and self-governing regions, the conference presents a highly-international outlook as well, which is fitting for an event with the theme of the role islands play as meeting places for cultures. The conference is a collaboration of the University of Aberdeen‘s Elphinstone Institute, the UHI Millennium Institute‘s Centre for Nordic Studies, and the Shetland Museum & Archives. Funding for the keynote speakers was provided by the Nordic Culture Fund, and the European Commission Office in Scotland sponsored a dinner and reception at the Shetland Museum and Archives.

  • Isle of Man Branch Report of the Chairman of the Branch Executive
    Isle of Man Branch Report of the Chairman of the Branch Executive Committee for the period January 2016 to December 2016 Introduction 1. The aims of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association are to promote knowledge of the constitutional, legislative, economic, social and cultural aspects of parliamentary democracy. It does this among other things by arranging Commonwealth Parliamentary Conferences, and other conferences, seminars, meetings and study groups; and by promoting visits between Members of the Branches of the Association. 2. The year 2016 saw many important anniversaries in the Island’s constitutional history. It saw the anniversary of 10 years of voting at the age of 16, 60 years of the revived Right to seek Redress for Grievance on Tynwald Day and 135 years since Tynwald became the first national legislature to give women the vote. It was also the 100th anniversary of Emergency Promulgation and the 150th anniversary of Popular Elections. 3. 2016 was also General Election year in the Isle of Man and saw the retirement of Mrs Clare Christian as President of Tynwald. The Hon Steve Rodan MLC was elected as President of Tynwald and therefore ex officio a Joint President of the CPA’s Isle of Man Branch. Mr Geoff Corkish MLC, Mrs Ann Corlett MHK, Mr Tim Crookall MLC, Mr Bill Malarkey MHK and Mr Bill Shimmins MHK (Ordinary Members) and Mrs Clare Christian (Associate Member) were proposed, seconded and elected to the Branch Executive Committee. I am honoured to have been re-elected as Chairman, albeit now as a Joint President. 4. Following Mrs Christian’s retirement, the Isle of Man Branch was asked to nominate a woman parliamentarian to sit on the BIMR CWP Steering Committee; Mrs Ann Corlett MHK was nominated by the Branch Executive Committee.
