Can you report Josem yet if nominations for the election aren't in? He's not a candidate yet. Once he is, O think people will be queuing up. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I say it’s only a rumour I heard yesterday no idea how true it is. When do nominations have to go in by? I’d have thought they’d mostly be in by now. Nomination day isn’t until 25 August. 4 weeks before the election. At the moment candidates are merely declaring until their papers are in and accepted by the Returning Officer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a bit pointless of Josem nominating himself given the number of people who already seem to be challenging or proposing to challenge his funding status. Might end up a Turkey who votes for his own Christmas dinner. Hope this helps. All election time tables count forward from dissolution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barlow Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Jolly Jon Joughin wasn't so jolly when he was a postie. All those years he was a scowling taciturn grump. Maybe it was just me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is successful - and there is no reason why he should not be, none whatsoever. This is the Isle of Man - then it is an odds on bet that he will soon be a Minister and will be senior and more experienced than many if not most of the others elected with him. That is true, as shown with the previous administration where they had to delve into the newbies to make up the Council of Minsters. You see, Jono was there before, for a few months, and will have a head start. He knows things about Tynwald that the real new newbies will have to learn. Like where the toilets are, and the canteen. And which seat to sit in, and that. Edited June 30, 2021 by Barlow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well after 20 years of being taciturn and scowling, he's spent the last 6 years or so nodding to me and saying hello in the street. And he says thing like "we need to grow the economy". It's as if he's the most wonderful politician there is, and with a talent for economics and that. 1 hour ago, The Central Scrutiniser said: Was he not "in the huts" at Ballakermeen? Huts or not, at the last election he was just 7 votes behind the once golden boy of Manx Politics Chris Robertshaw. So much for the huts, where doe that put Chris Robertshaw?
