Reforming the Legislative Council election process will be good for Manx politics.
That's the view of the Chief Minister who's welcomed the Elections to Legislative Council Act 2017:
As well as the election process becoming public, a simple majority will replace the 13-vote majority which was previously required to secure an appointment.
Formal hustings will also be introduced so that all candidates are known to politicians in advance of the election.
Howard Quayle says it's a positive step forwards:
