Ged Power says difference can be made at local level
Chris Thomas's call for people to use their votes in April's local authority elections has the backing of a Port Erin commissioner.
Ged Power is also hopeful good quality candidates will come forward, to make sure as many seats as possible are contested.
He agrees with Mr Thomas that a real difference can be made at local level:
UK airspace restrictions could impact Island flights
Passengers asked to check with airline before travelling
Delayed: Manxman won't be back until November
SPC's 'sincere apology' to customers as repair work continues
Large vehicles asked to avoid Sulby as recovery work continues
Road currently expected to remain shut until 5pm
Reservoir construction enters final stages
Manx Utilities says Jurby project remains on budget
