Depends on who you talk to. 

I know someone very vocal on the so called non issue. 

He says if he is a Garff constituent, he should pay Garff rates,

which I believe are lower than Onchans.

 

What do they think of Rob Callister then, seeing as Abbeylands is apparently in Garff.

I have never asked them about Callister, More their views on Perkins and Caine,

which the usual answer is "Who", even after five years, which isn't bad if your standing for re-election.

But surely rates are a local authority issue being a local authority tax (the broad rules are obviously set by central government). The constituency,  and the name of it, they are in is irrelevant.

I am sure voters in Middle don’t all pay the same rates and no doubt the same applies in others too. Maybe some in Douglas constituencies pay Braddan rates.

Perhaps they should start a campaign to get their area moved from Onchan to Garff commissioners.

Has anyone seen a manifesto from callister yet?  Or is he hoping it's so long people won't read it before the election?

Will he do a narrated version for the blind.

That is not the 34 pages. 

If the 34 page one is printed full colour with a red background on glossy paper, then Rob Callister has no eco-friendly ethics. If he did he simply wouldn't have done that.

It's 4 pages - quite enough from Mr Callister

Obviously waiting until the public meetings have happened to avoid anyone asking questions about his manifesto

Wow Robs manifesto has arrived.  Pretty short on achievements and only 17 pages of "content" the rest is pictures.  

[SleepyJoe]

Only 4 pages on the one posted on the government website

What are the differences?

Many pages of waffle and zero achievements.  The onchan equivalent of Anne Corlett.

The education hustings was toe-curling. Julie Edge worked in a school and was pretty well informed, but the rest were clueless. It's no wonder our education system has problems when this calibre of person is being elected and allowed to set its budget, priorities and review systems. The board system, where people with a special interest in, or knowledge of education were directly elected was much better.

Perhaps forcing kids to read his blog could be used as a punishment like a king orry from yesteryear.
