Who do you think will make more of an impact in an advocacy role in Tynwald & the House of Keys, & who the less?

That is not how it works unfortunately.

A popularity contest and nothing more.

I know of people voting for the “Manx” candidate.  The female candidate just because there is one. The green candidate etc without even meeting them or having the slightest clue what they actually stand for.

A sad state of affairs really.

Thomas hasn’t managed much in 10 years apart from carping from the sidelines (despite being in Comin at one point), who’s to say he’ll do anything in the next five?

I suspect Mr Thomas's Agenda For Change will likely form much of the new programme for government

It became the programme for government last time. Which was a wonderful success because they kept changing it to make it one...

Depending who gets in next time you may find Thomas gets sidelined.

There’s not really anyone queuing up to challenge him though which likely shows that most people think he’s doing ok. It’s still only 3 candidates for 2 seats. 

I think the lawyer fella might be a dark horse , Chris had sadly become too much of a smart arse ,Tynwald is no place for academics and theorists,  and on occasions over complicates matters like the planning system

The next CM would be wise to have him in the CoMin. Chris is very snart, perhaps top academic to be CM this time. Needs to drive things through and at pace.
