Manifesto: of John Hanson Candidate for Malew and Santon, in the House of Keys Election of 2011
Manifesto: of John Hanson candidate for Malew and Santon, in the House of Keys election of 2011. Helping to give the people “TRUE” Freedom to Flourish Personal details: Age 54, Married to Glenda and living in Santon. I have three sons and a daughter and can often be seen walking in and around our parish and beyond with our family dog Monty. During my travels I come across many like-minded residents, who like myself are both disillusioned and upset with the general direction life on this beautiful Island is taking. I would therefore like to present myself for election in the forthcoming general election, with the aim to protect our life style and encourage a return to more traditional values. History: I have lived on the Island for over forty years during which time I successfully ran a small licensed tourist establishment in Douglas for over twenty years. With my involvement within this business now on an advisory nature I feel that I have the time and commitment necessary to allow me to devote my time and energy to the people of Malew/ Santon and the Island as a whole. The Future: If elected, to help guide the Island to a strong independent future, encompassing a variety of tried and tested fields, such as tourism, finance and farming. To encourage all Island residents to play that vital role within our economy,thereby maintaining pride and respect in the whole Island. KEY POINTS. 1. To encourage Government to examine the need for all future major capital expenditure programs, and if need be offer a system of referendum to the Manx people, ( the Richmond Hill improvement being just one which has caused inconvenience and hardship to users of the A5- our premier road link between Isle of Man Airport and Douglas thus being the gateway to at least 50% of all arrivals to our Island), at the end of the day will it prove to be value of money or just another miscalculation of our needs? 2.To campaign for leaner, fitter Government departments capable of providing the best possible levels of service within the confines of its budget. -

GRAHAM CREGEEN for Arbory, Castletown & Malewp “Striving to Deliver a Secure Future” Dear Constituent
House of Keys General Election THURSDAY 22nd SEPTEMBER 2016 VOTE FOR GRAHAM CREGEEN For Arbory, Castletown & MalewP “Striving to deliver A secure future” Dear Constituent It has been a great honour to serve the people of Malew and Santon in Tynwald over the last two terms. At this election the boundaries have changed, this now means that Arbory, Castletown and Malew will be combined and I would ask for your support on the 22 September in striving to deliver a secure future for our Island. I am 54 years old, married to Jacqui and have two sons - Andrew is 20, an apprentice joiner, and Ben is 17 and studying for his A levels. I have lived in the south of the Island all my life and was brought up in a family that proudly served the community, with my father, brother and myself having been members of the Port St Mary Lifeboat and Rushen Emergency Ambulance / St. John’s Ambulance. I have also coached over many years at Malew Football Club and the Southern Amateur Swimming Club. Previously, I worked for and then ran the family business and also taught at the Isle of Man College before joining the Post Office. I was elected as Member of the House of Keys for Malew and Santon in 2006 and 2011. The last administration faced a unique set of challenges and many difficult decisions needed to be made; as you will know I was involved in some of these. Some of these were very tough and uncomfortable decisions, but I sought resolutions where common sense prevailed, focusing on the long-term prosperity of the Isle of Man and greater efficiency in government. -

Quintin Gill House of Keys General Election Thursday 22Nd September 2016 WE NEED POLITICIANS with COMMITMENT, INDEPENDENCE and EXPERIENCE
DOUGLAS EAST Quintin Gill House of Keys General Election Thursday 22nd September 2016 WE NEED POLITICIANS WITH COMMITMENT, INDEPENDENCE AND EXPERIENCE 2 The General Election on 22nd September is your chance to cast your vote for MHKs to represent you, your family, friends, neighbours and everyone in our community across the Island. It will be an important election as the Isle of Man faces some pressing challenges and serious threats. I believe that more than ever we need politicians with the vision, skills and commitment to make many overdue and very necessary changes in our Parliamentary and Governmental systems. A further five years of the same attitudes and behaviours will further damage the Isle of Man – possibly irreparably. YOUR DECISION WHO YOU VOTE FOR IS THEREFORE CRUCIAL . EXPERIENCED, INDEPENDENT, COMMITTED 3 The comment I have heard most over the past few years, and certainly since canvassing homes and businesses across the constituency, is one of frustration with, and criticism about, the Government. Certainly the Government has been weak, inconsistent, secretive and arrogant but frankly they have been largely allowed to get away with this as the rest of Tynwald Members have failed to hold them to account, let alone present a coherent and positive opposition. All our new MHKs need to have the courage, character and experience to understand what their new role really is. They will then need to act to make the necessary overdue decisions to turn around the fortunes and future of the Isle of Man. With several long-serving politicians retiring it is more important than ever that we have politicians with the necessary experience to understand and undertake their roles fully and immediately. -
21 Feb 2006 Tynwald Question Paper
PP26/06 TYNWALD Tinvaal QUESTION PAPER Pabyr Feyshtyn DOUGLAS 21st February 2006 at 10.30 am FOR ORAL ANSWER 1. The Hon Member for Onchan (Mr Karran) to ask the Chief Minister - Can you explain the failure of the Department of Trade and Industry and the Manx Electricity Authority to initiate an immediate and urgent renegotiation of the Bord Gais Agreements despite the fact that the Agreements are obviously inequitable, not in the best interest of the Isle of Man and contravene an Intergovernmental Treaty? 2. The Hon Member for Michael (Mr Cannan) to ask the Chief Minister - What action do you take on receipt of letters sent to you in support of the retention of the title Lieutenant Governor? 3. The Hon Member for Onchan (Mr Karran) to ask the Chief Minister - In view of the fact that apart from the legality of certain loans, the Manx Electricity Authority financial crisis was primarily a result of the failure of Government, will you support me in my stance that the membership of the Select Committee on the Manx Electricity Authority should not include any persons who have held Ministerial Government Office during the period 1997-2006 on the grounds of conflict of interest? TCQ 5150 4. The Hon Member for Onchan (Mr Karran) to ask the Chief Minister - Can you inform this Honourable Court the reason why the Council of Ministers, in 1998, recommended to Tynwald that the Manx Electricity Authority’s plan to install both a cable and power station be adopted without presenting any economic justifications for the proposal, and despite the fact that three independent consultants all advised that Manx electricity consumers could not afford both? 5. -

5.1. A Bill to rename Douglas West – Leave to introduce – Motion carried The Hon. Member for South Douglas (Mr Malarkey) to move: That leave be given to introduce a Private Member’s Bill to rename the Douglas West constituency; and for connected purposes. The Speaker: We turn now to Item 5, leave to introduce, and I call on the Hon. Member for Douglas South, Mr Malarkey, please. Mr Malarkey: Thank you, Mr Speaker. This is probably the shortest Bill that will come before this House this coming session – I certainly hope. As Members are aware, I was not a Member of the House when the Representation of the People Act 2015 was brought through with boundary changes. When I saw the final boundary change, it came to light that suddenly Douglas South had become Douglas West for some unknown reason. Mr Speaker, Douglas South, the boundary, was always the largest constituency in Douglas, because over the years it has grown. It started off at Douglas Head, going along, taking up Pulrose and Anagh Coar and then, as Farmhill came in and then Ballaughton, the constituency grew to be the largest one in Douglas. Under the latest reshuffle of the boundaries Douglas South did not actually take in any other boundaries. It actually lost quite a lot of its boundary: it lost Douglas Head, Peel Road and Hillside Avenue. Other constituencies within Douglas expanded, including Douglas West, which went further into central Douglas and ended up having a name change from Douglas West to Central Douglas. It is beyond me and I have not been able to get any explanation why suddenly it was in the wisdom of those who were on the committee that looked at it to rename Douglas South ‘Douglas West’, which is not only .. -
