wrighty Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Why is it not called 'Douglas West'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepyJoe Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Because large chunks of the increasingly urbanised Middle constituency will soon be absorbed into the metropolis & become Douglas West? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was when they redrew the boundaries because they realised that some of Douglas Central was actually to the south of it. But Bill Malarkey (in the only bit of legislative work in his career) put a special Bill through Tynwald to rename it to Douglas South. Because that's what it had always been called. You've got to prioritise the really important things. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they will, on the basis that they’ve not had enough time to either piss people off or reveal themselves to be talentless chancers. (I’m not saying they are, just that if so, it’s too early to be sure). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my perspective Christian has done more for people and addressed some key national issues, particularly around mental health - but I concede that Quine has been an excellent constituency MHK as well.

Anyone Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 It’s clear we need a mental health party with a good manifesto. Time for the Monster Raving Looney Party to put up someone in every constituancy with a totally mental program of government. They would win by a mile. No need for ideas just make it up as we go along. Make Ketamine legal but only for horses. Banish all civil servants to Paraguay. Make beekeeping legal. One extra sock for all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Quine -- yes, hope so. He has the makings of a very good parliamentarian, just the sort we need. Challenges and not afraid to rock boats. Looks comfortable in the role as MHK. No pretentiousness. Ms. Christian--No thanks. Not done anything substantial for mental health as alleged previously as far as I know. Everything Mr Quine is not I'm afraid (see above).

Christian has challenged COMIN and asked more probing questions than anyone else in the last year Imho. I agree Quine is good but he’s a bit of a comin want-to-be and supports the CM and ministers openly in keys and in his interviews. But I think the 2 of them make an awesome team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
