Quayle calls for 'Team Tynwald' mentality

Tuesday, 4 October 2016 00:00

Open and transparent government should be 'at the heart' of everything politicians do.

That's the message from Middle MHK Howard Quayle who is today making a bid to become the Island's next Chief Minister - he says he wants an 'all inclusive government' to lead the way.

He's one of the three MHKs who have put their names forward for the top job - Tynwald will decide today.

Mr Quayle says voters have instructed politicians to change the way government behaves and he wants to see a 'Team Tynwald' mentality.
