hissingsid Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 No this will never happen Neil they may do the job of scrutinising too well and have more experience than the MHKs, which would not be hard, they have been around and know too much. That would never do would it. The idea is to fill the places with pliable people who will nod things through and not ask questions that is why the women got appointed wholesale last year despite having little experience of not a lot, that did not turn out well.

Declan Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 To be fair, I think I've only been to Kirk Michael to play footy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(cue barrage of KM jokes) When I was a child my mother knew an elderly lady (I think her surname was Dawson) who lived in Hatfield Grove, Douglas. It was said that the furthest she’d ever been from Douglas was Glen Vine, to attend a funeral. Can’t vouch for the reliability of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably why most people who don't live there go there. I'm guessing she didn't make the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The upper house is a gilded cage for failed MHK's with a penchant for trousering lots of taxpayers money for doing little of value and bored folks who fancy hobby politics without the drag of canvassing and getting elected.... This - or make it publicly elected. Either would be better than the current House of Keys appointment nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald Trumps Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 There should be a trial of directing electing MLCs on a national basis The public are paying & they should get to choose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
