bozinko Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 (edited) who do we want in the west, i cannot make my mind up. thinking of voting for Trevor Cowin. Dont know the guy but think he would go against the grain and deffo would not be just another yes man....... I think his only goal is what is best for our side of the island.

Zarley Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 I'm definitely thinking about Cowin, it's plain he cares and is willing to speak up. I'm hoping to talk with him before I make up my mind. Haven't had a manifesto off him yet, or anyone else for that matter. Kate Lord-Brennan is very likely another I'll be voting for and again, I'd like to read her manifesto and talk with her before making up my mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozinko Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Yer am thinking her for my second vote. Need more women as mhks. I think on first impressions she has alot of bottle and not scared to speak up.... I think she could be good for the west...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarley Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 I have age-30-something relatives who have met and spent time with her at social functions and they all think highly of her. I'm looking forward to speaking with her myself. From all I've heard she'll be a great asset to P&G as well as the island as a whole. I've gone from thinking anyone will be better to vote for than Boot and Harmer and resigning myself to another five years of Crookall, to being quite excited over the prospect of a few really good candidates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozinko Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 I live in public housing in St Johns. The last time they came knocking on my door Boot basically without saying it said if you vote for me ill make sure you get a new bathroom and kitchen in your house for you. How uneducated does he think we are..... Harmer is a really nice guy and i have nothing against him, but i dont think he lives in the real world. So will not vote for him .......... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boot is little more than a Toryboy who couldn't compete with the Tory bigwigs in Little England, so he came over here to play lord of the manor and flaunt his wealthy connections in front of the Manx peasantry. He thinks were all stupid, as you say. Harmer's a nice guy, yes, but totally useless and out of his depth. He needs to go forthwith. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more inclined to think that he actually does care and any embarrassment caused to his former employers is a bonus. Sort of a two-for-one, if you will. I'm looking forward to questioning him when he comes knocking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxanne Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 I'm intrigued to know who his former employers were? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarley Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 He allegedly worked somewhere in government, not sure where. I've heard that before Uhtred mentioned it but it's so long ago now I don't recall the details. Believe it or not, I'm not really one for retaining skeet. In one ear and out the other usually. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
