Some MHKs are deliberately trying to ‘derail’ plans to reform the Island’s political boundaries.

If the Bill is passed in its current form it would see the Island split into 12 equal constituencies – each with two MHKs – in an effort to make things more democratic.
Allan Bell says Mr Watterson’s actions are ‘disappointing’:
