In order to prove that the so-called independent members of Tynwald Something's rotten in the state of effectively form a single-party state system, Tynwald has ratified Tony Mannin. Positively rancid, infact. Brown's choice of Government members. Out of 32 individuals, the only two not to enjoy any form of governmental responsibility are Peter Karran Several establishment figures of the past few (Onchan) and Bill Malarkey (West Douglas). Both are the only members years have repeatedly bleated about "political of Mr Karran's newly formed Liberal Vannin Party. stability" and the "evolution" of the government in the Isle of Man. Mr Karran has greatest public support of any MHK and, while Mr. Malarkey is new to the House, the five other new MHKs all got at least In reality, the system has become so self one governmental responsibility. Mec Vannin kept away from a system protecting and resistant to change that the stench now so utterly corrupt as to be beneath contempt. of putrifying corruption permeates every facet. None of the MHKs and former MHKs who have used Mec Vannin as a The House of Keys repeatedly votes for stepping stone for their personal ambitions have done anything about this reformation of the Legislative Council yet undemocratic system. Infact, they have fully endorsed it. So much for continues to pack its membership with "changing things from the inside". reactionaries who veto such change. That is not political stability but political stagnation. Death of Agriculture now official An extensive document advising the restructuring of government officially sounds the end of agriculture as a viable industry. The Department of Agriculture and Fisheries has been scheduled for eradication with what ever is left of farming and fishing after the terminal mismanagement of our fishing rights and meat production being thrown in with an extended Tourism and Leisure department as some sort of "heritage industry". The remaining farmers will effectively act as glorified gardeners to keep the remaining fields looking nice and green for all the rich tax-dodgers that the tax-capping regime is intended to attract. No-one in the Department of Agriculture, from the minister down, has made any noises of opposition to this so we must presume that the proposals enjoy the department's support. In the 1970s, we could produce slighly more food than was required to support the population. Now, we don't come anywhere near, not even if we had to. That's dangerous and stupid.

  • Manx Gaelic and Physics, a Personal Journey, by Brian Stowell
    keynote address Editors’ note: This is the text of a keynote address delivered at the 2011 NAACLT conference held in Douglas on The Isle of Man. Manx Gaelic and physics, a personal journey Brian Stowell. Doolish, Mee Boaldyn 2011 At the age of sixteen at the beginning of 1953, I became very much aware of the Manx language, Manx Gaelic, and the desperate situation it was in then. I was born of Manx parents and brought up in Douglas in the Isle of Man, but, like most other Manx people then, I was only dimly aware that we had our own language. All that changed when, on New Year’s Day 1953, I picked up a Manx newspaper that was in the house and read an article about Douglas Fargher. He was expressing a passionate view that the Manx language had to be saved – he couldn’t understand how Manx people were so dismissive of their own language and ignorant about it. This article had a dra- matic effect on me – I can say it changed my life. I knew straight off somehow that I had to learn Manx. In 1953, I was a pupil at Douglas High School for Boys, with just over two years to go before I possibly left school and went to England to go to uni- versity. There was no university in the Isle of Man - there still isn’t, although things are progressing in that direction now. Amazingly, up until 1992, there 111 JCLL 2010/2011 Stowell was no formal, official teaching of Manx in schools in the Isle of Man.

Terms of Reference of the Inquiry At its July 2000 sitting Tynwald Court resolved: "This hon Court - (1) regrets that the Crown has not, on this occasion, appointed as the next Lieutenant Governor a Manx person or a person of Manx descent, but acknowledges that the decision is one for the Crown to make; and (2) requests the Standing Committee on Constitutional Matters to consider the circumstances leading to the appointment of the Lieutenant Governor Designate not of Manx origin, contrary to the expressed wishes of Tynwald, and recommend a course of action which would be likely to meet those wishes".

    EARROO / ISSUE 1 | JERREY GEUREE / JANUARY 2016 www.mecvannin.im Robertshaw Pulls Out before Finding the Spot Chris Robertshaw, the former Minister for Policy and Reform noted for disappoint- ingly pulling out ahead of completion, thinks he may now know where things went wrong. Mr Robertshaw had previously indicated that he had evacuated prematurely because other parties involved were taking too long to get there, saying "it was defi- nitely their fault, I mean, other people have told me how good I am, but satisfying these guys seemed impossible". He added "I don't remember hearing any complaints when I was finished with the Sefton, which I assume means everyone was satisfied". With a big election expected to occur in 2016 many have wondered whether a concerned Mr Robertshaw is just saying the things he thinks people want to hear. One reader commented "I think Mr Robertshaw may be worrying about his potential to rise to the expectations of a big election. When I attended the Government's "Big Debate" sessions last year he was obsessed with defending his small government and seemed to get very agitated at even the thought of a big one. Anyway, I figured it's not the size of a man's government that counts but the way he thrusts his policies. I thought he'd at least have the stamina to go for a bit longer when it came to actually performing". Responding to this, Mr Robertshaw said "I'll admit I may have gone soft when con- fronted with the reality of replacing a big government, but the point here is whether my government is running for other people, or is it running for itself.

  • Liberal Vannin Party National Manifesto
    Manifesto Liberal Vannin Party National Manifesto Liberal Vannin Manifesto Dear Voter I am pleased to present the Liberal Vannin Party Manifesto which has been developed by our Party in recent years as the problems with our Government have been getting worse. I am delighted that we are contesting nine constituencies in this election and in my constituency of Onchan I am joined by Zac Hall making the number of Liberal Vannin candidates ten in all. I have been engaged in politics on the Island for over 30 years and I am delighted with the values, skills, and experience of all the Liberal Vannin candidates. With your support, we can face the national challenges head-on, bring about democratic reform and protect our prosperous and caring society. Each of our candidates has developed a manifesto to reflect the interests and challenges of their particular constituency. But at this election we have all been surprised, and pleased, that most voters are much more concerned about national issues rather than the issues on their doorstep. We have therefore developed this manifesto to address the national issues that are country is facing and I commend it to you. Yours Peter Karran Liberal Vannin Party Leader Liber Bringing Politics Back to the People LIBERAL VANNIN PROGRAMME FOR GOVERNMENT There is a widespread feeling of disappointment in our politicians: we need change. If the same politicians are elected it won’t change - more of the same gets more of the same, and that isn’t good enough for the Isle of Man. A Liberal Vannin Government will get a grip on spending and international affairs, and involve the public with the difficult choices ahead to build on our success and secure our future.
