llap Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 It clearly disenfranchises a historically liberal demographic area and lumps them with a majority Tory demographic area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldhamJ Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Despite the fact that it's becoming ever clearer that it won't matter who you vote for because they'll all turn it to shit, 24 of these knuckle-dragging, drooling fantasists (well that's most of them) will be elected just one week from now. So here's the result...straight from the world inside my head. AC&M - Gawne and Crowther (but Parker close) Ayre - Cannan and Baker Douglas Central - Thomas and Falk Douglas East - Robertshaw and Halsall Douglas North - Peake and Houghton Douglas South - Malarkey and Beecroft Garff - Perkins and Caine Glenfaba and Peel - Boot and Harmer Middle - Craine and Quayle Onchan - Quirk and Callister Ramsey - Allinson and Singer (Hooper close, but no cigar) Rushen - Watterson and Skelly It need hardly be said that writing some of those predictions involved mental and physical pain, such is the appalling quality of some candidates who, I believe, will be elected. So, where am I wrong..? Over to you. And we thought the last five years were bad. There are three names that I think on past performance may have some credibility (Cannan / Quayle / Watterson) but dear god, looking through your predictions, we really are in trouble. The sad thing is that one or two credible candidates who would have helped matters will not get in. I think that Shimmins and possibly Bowers in Middle would have enhanced that list, as would possibly others. A couple of things come to mind - perhaps we really need to review whether a) all island elections are required or b) whether we now offer better pay and conditions and secondly I pity the next CM. Even Maggie Thatcher would struggle with this collection of misfits ! If we could just select 24 for the whole Island as opposed to just picking 2 in the constituency in which you live, we would get a much better standard of MHK, As stated above, some constituencies have 3 or 4 candidates who would all make good MHK's whilst some constituencies have none, or a at the most 1.

Although your predicted return of Quayle is a wrench (I did the same thing) I'd settle for that if you are proved right that Houghton, Singer and Skelly are all toast.

Barrie Stevens Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 God I do hope you are wrong in Onchan another 5 years of Quirk would be too much to bear, I do not think he will get in and I hope Quayle does not get in either and I would put Hanson over Boot he was only a few votes behind dim Tim last time. Phil Gawne is another I would not be confident about he has done some unpopular things and Caine for Garff...unlikely. anyway the worst will be revealed next week I didn't say the best because I do not think there is a best about it, not many good brains about in that lot, still you do not need one just the thick skin of a rhino and a load of self belief which in most cases is completely unjustified. Always look on the bright side I say.A lot of people I have spoken to in Castletown will be voting for Gawne for the very shit but oh so Manx reason of "he turned up to my house". It doesn't matter that he has blown tons of money on the prom, infringed treasury regulations on peel silt, built a stupidly big roundabout down south and wasted money resurfacing the sloch just because he had some money to burn amongst over things. The scary thing is if he gets in he'll probably get chief minister. Imagine that eh! If Gawne becomes Chief Minister I think I might burn my house down in protest. Cue the new Manx national anthem that some were asking about! How about "Keep the home fires burning"? Ready made tune. Just add words! http://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?&id=OIP.Mf691c8215aebe73df7402d6d8e04ffdbo0&w=257&h=300&c=0&pid=1.9&rs=0&p=0&r=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebees Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I think you've got Douglas Central wrong, Corlett is more Manx than Falk and her manifesto was great up to the preschool bit (there is quite a lot of good stuff in there actually.

Ham_N_Eggs Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 The OP is probably close to accurate. As an Onchanite, I'll be voting for Callister and Quirk I think.Don't vote Quirk you will just be wasting a vote. Look up the thread on radio masts and listen to the audio of Tynwald that is classic example of what he is like. Truly awful. Please just exercise one vote or choose another person. Don't waste a vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
