Can you highlight what it is the Isle of Man Government do, are doing or have done which isn't being replicated by other governments?

Douglas Promenade Liverpool Ferry Terminal etc etc etc Yes Douglas Promenade is being given a long overdue makeover after years of neglect by previous administrations. The Steam Packet and its customers are getting a brand new dedicated Liverpool Ferry Terminal. Sure it will be over budget but most capital projects are.

Derek Flint Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 10 hours ago, The Dog's Dangly Bits said: It's probably more of a strong indicator that generally many people accept the Isle of Man isn't a bad place to live. Which it clearly isn't. Out of interest, what problems exists here that are not existing with, say the UK government, and their employees? As for covid, certain things could definitely have been and be done better. It could also have been a lot worse. I think many people recognise this. The UK is poorly run. So is the Isle of Man. in the latter case it is in plain sight how better it could be, and how easy it could be to achieve. That is the frustrating thing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
