  • 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

  • Chris Thomas – Douglas Central Political Questions (2016)
    Chris Thomas – Douglas Central Political Questions (2016) Why do you want to be a member of the To contribute to making government House of Keys? effective for people by continuing to i) bust political and public finance myths, ii) encourage evidence-based policy making, and iii) use my judgement and experience as your representative when difficult political decisions are made. If you were elected, what would your To engage people and work with other priorities be on a national level? MHKs to draw up a Government Programme 2017 – 2021 so that the next government is formed around policy and with a clear mandate. I agree with Lord Lisvane that this “could be completed within two weeks”, as the Chief Minister is elected and Council of Ministers is appointed. Government should then propose this programme to Tynwald with financial and legislation plans at the beginning of 2017. The last government’s “Agenda for Change” and “Scope of Government” recommendations were not debated in Tynwald until sixteen months after the last general election! National priorities: Election of the Chief Minister in public and in line with the vote of the elected MHKs; Approving a “Government Programme 2017-2021” in Tynwald soon after this election, alongside a realistic medium-term financial strategy and indicative legislative programme; Making economic growth more useful by raising people’s incomes and making money go further, including by light-touch regulation of standing charges and the profitability of near-monopolies; Rebalancing the balancing of the
