Agenda 12.1.26 - elections in the Falklands and inappropriate references to Tynwald members

Onchan MHK Rob Callister was in the Falkland Islands last month as part of a Commonwealth Parliametary Association team of election observers. You’ll be pleased to know this visit was not funded by the tax payer but you may be interested to know what the Isle of Man can learn from such trips. Mr Callister tells us all about the trip on Agenda. With a 90% turn out in Falklands elections it seems trust in politicians is much higher there than it is here. Unlike here they don’t call each other clowns in the Falklands government but is it ok for us to call Tynwald members clowns …. or just think it but don’t say it out loud?
