Donald Trumps Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 24 minutes ago, Declan said: Can't see that anyone outside COMIN being given the role - only viable candidate amongst them is Watterson and he'd be bonkers to move from speaker. So move someone in COMIN - it feels too big a job for Boot, Cregeen, Malarkey and Hammer. Unlikely they'd move Cannon or Thomas. Unless Quayle wants to do that and CM at the same time that leaves Skelly, who probably needs a move. So who steps up to replace Skelly at Enterprise? Think Mr Skelly will want to stay where he is, but it would be a jolly good opportunity to abolish the department & it's four new enterprise agencies altogether Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine, crack on and vote for Beecroft again. That’s democracy. Then expect the same ineffectual shit. Edited to add - And who’s to say that Malarkey and the oddball gardener are the options next time? Neither probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither probably. We've got Malarkey for life, that's for sure. When a fridge fixer, greasy spoon owner or whatever gets a taste of the high life wearing a suit and one of those lanyard things, and all manner of government employees fawning over them who wouldn't even notice him otherwise, then you can be sure it's a one way ego trip. Aye, Home Affairs Minister. I think I must be in a weird parallel universe or maybe an undigested bit of beef? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the convention is a Teacher doesn't become minister for education, and a Dr / Nurse doesn't become minister for health. And I think this needs someone with more that a year's experience in Tynwald. However, if a minister is moved into Health I think he'd be a good call for one of the smaller departments - Home Affairs, Enterprise, Defa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.K. Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 There is a dearth of talented candidates. As the current lot have thrown into sharp.relief. Beecroft had to go as she completely failed to implement the vision as outlined by Mr Quayle and Mr Charters. It's almost as though she deliberately set out to make it look as if their "fact" finding mission was a complete and utter waste of time and money. So the next incumbant had better set about it pdq.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean there was one? That the New Zealand expedition to research the Canterbury model (that we've heard little of since) actually produced something that was supposed to have been incorporated or implemented into our NHS? And it didn't all get binned upon Mr Charter's sudden exodus to the mid-Atlantic? Gracious me. Where do I find this "vision"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm-iom Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Someone like Shimmins has run a large organisation, and needed to cut costs by closing departments, branches and outsourcing. I'm pretty sure he'll have had plenty of dealings with Couch when he was at tax as well. Not the most charismatic, but could be a decent outside bet.

I don’t blame her for standing down, and I can’t see all the armchair experts making it very likely that people will be queuing up to take the position nor stand for keys next time there is an election. It's a poisoned chalice and a rotten role that comes with massive abuse to be sure. I can't imagine who on earth would put their name forward for this. But I imagine that all the male politicians have run for the hills already in case they get the call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may be ok, he’ll certainly be on HQs list of people to see off as he got more votes than him in Middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
