Questions are being asked about why politicians are continually asked to support new reforms which yield little return.
This week Tynwald voted in favour of making the Cabinet Office a separate government department - something which concerned Michael MHK Alf Cannan:
He believes the Chief Minister should lead the office - which will take control of planning policy - saying he needs to have a more "active" role and describing his "stand-off attitude" as unhelpful.
However Policy and Reform Minister John Shimmin says this decision won't significantly change the current operation:
Don't panic at sound of gunfire, says local authority
Fresh plans for popular former restaurant
Decorators and joiners wanted for major pub refurb
Government releases July unemployment update
Second delay to Classic TT announced due to road conditions
Plans to expand housing estate
Steam Packet proud of crew member who worked his way up the ranks
Cruise ship to make fourth stop of the year
