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. -

The percentage figure has been put on record in the case of Gibraltar, for example, and so I am curious to know what that equivalent figure is for the Isle of Man, as I am sure that the Minister must have an idea. My department’s best approximation of the percentage of UK e-Gaming that is transacted through Isle of Man operators is between 6% and 7%. -

Chapter 9 the Summerland Site in the Twenty-First Century
CHAPTER 9 THE SUMMERLAND SITE IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY 9.1 The re-development plans There was a growing recognition in the late 1990s that the Summerland complex had outlived its usefulness. The building’s exterior was riddled with concrete cancer, with its interior being hopelessly passé and stuck in a 1970’s timewarp. In 1998, only 20 years after it re-opened after the fire, the Isle of Man Government announced that it was reviewing options for the future of Summerland and the soon to become defunct Aquadrome swimming baths, including potential demolition. With the centenary of the TT fast approaching in 2007, the Government viewed the Summerland site as being ideal for a museum to celebrate the world famous races. Mr David Cretney, the Tourism and Leisure Minister, announced in January 2001 that the Summerland site would house the museum and other leisure facilities, including potentially a multi-screen cinema. These plans would involve demolishing Summerland and the Aquadrome and erecting new buildings on the site. It was envisaged that Summerland would remain open to provide a large entertainment venue until the refurbishment of the Villa Marina (to be re-branded the National Entertainment and Arts Centre) was completed in 2004. By the end of 2000, the Government had received approaches from several investors interested in the Summerland site. Developers were asked to submit formal proposals for the site by 23rd May 2001. The Manx Government specified that the plans must include a TT museum and a transport interchange between the Manx Electric Railway and the Douglas 689 Promenade House Trams. -

BILL HENDERSON Manifesto 2011 For the General Election Thursday 29th September, 2011 Constituency of North Douglas Bill Henderson For the General Election – 29th of September, 2011 Constituency of North Douglas Manifesto 2011 Election message Dear Constituent, It gives me great pleasure to present my latest manifesto, having had the privilege of serving the constituency and the Island for this past legislative term. My manifesto provides a summary of the principle policies and strategies for which I shall be seeking your endorsement in the forthcoming General Election on the 29th of September, 2011. It is a document that recognises and is resolute in the face of the gravest challenges our Island has ever had to face. I believe the policies I propose demonstrate my clear vision and commonsense approach to reaching realistic solutions to the many and varied issues which affect us - in the constituency, Douglas, the Island and internationally. I have moved away from the usual simple leaflet layout and chosen a more in-depth, professional, goal-focused presentation so you can better assess my achievements, commitment and future strategy. I feel it is right that the electorate should have a more meaningful and comprehensive document. My policies cover wide-ranging issues, supported by robust, experience-led and considered actions - essential if I am to serve you as an effective member of the Isle of Man Parliament. Events off-island, in particular the global financial crisis, the ʻUK Double VAT bombshellʼ, worldwide rising fuel prices, the heightened threat of terrorism, and emerging economies such as Asia are having immediate and long-term implications for us all, while freedom of movement within the EU member states is already having an impact on the social dynamics of the Island. -
