Agenda 15.12.25 - a referendum on net zero, gas exploration and support local - some December Tynwald highlights

Stu Peters tried to persuade Tynwald to ask the public what they think of Tynwald and government’s net zero policies. As the overwhelming majority of Tynwald members back the net zero initiatives they rejected the referendum call and suggested this will be better settled at the 2026 election. Chris Thomas narrowly missed out on persuading Tynwald to reopen gas exploration and John Wannenburgh succeeded in persuading Tynwald and government to do more to back Manx produce. Was Tynwald right to reject the referendum call and instead rely on who you choose as your MHK to make the right decision?
