You could make exactly the same point about nearly all of the MHKs. The IOM is hugely over-represented at tremendous cost. An equivalent population density in the UK would have 1 MP. There are about 5 MHKs who actually have any gravitas. And 1 MHK per govt department would be more than enough. Edited May 25, 2018 by pongo 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Geoff Corkish David Anderson Michael Coleman David Callister Juan Turner Tony Wild Eddie Lowey Oops sorry edited as had 2 Juan Turners! Primarily collectively achieved considerable entitlement to public funds via salaries, allowances and pension entitlements. Any contentious proposals raised were heavily contested and binned (eg LegCo reform, Callister). Coleman notable for V9 report which despite damning Skelly and resulting in DED being scrapped (to deny further responsibility) has produced nothing else. Corkish made notable contributions to high-profile Ecclesiastical Committee. And Phlegm Dept. at Nobles. Er, that's it. I think. Stump up, proles. ETA. Eddie Lowey kept all those hard-pressed spirits up by being the chamber humourist by rarely knowing where they were at on the order paper and making contributions to debates that had either previously finished or hadn't yet happened. Known as "Doing an Eddie". Edited May 26, 2018 by Non-Believer Bit more 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As you "recently moved to the Island to work for a local e-gaming company" how would you know that Corkish; Anderson: Coleman: Turner; Wild and Lowey achieved "Nothing"? The latter two in particular were not that all that recently Members. Are you perhaps psychic? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Donald Trumps 5,536 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I feel CoMin would happily sideline LegCo Does than make LegCo a bad thing? Perhaps there should be an experiment, electing MLCs democratically on a national basis for a trial period of 5 or 6 years At the same time denying any right to join government departments Quote Link to post Share on other sites
