A Douglas councillor believes the Isle of Man should debate its relationship with the United Kingdom.
David Ashford says the Manx people will be wondering what the future holds in the light of the recent 'VAT bombshell' and the termination by the UK of the long running Reciprocal Health Agreement.
Mr Ashford, who represents Victoria Ward, says the issue needs to be looked at closely, and the pros and cons examined by everyone:
Bus drivers gather at picket lines
10-day strike got underway this morning
Sea Terminal improvements to begin next month
Key arrival points to be 'enhanced'
TUC and Bus Vannin urge public not to be abusive to bus staff during strikes
Drivers 'deserve fairness, not vilification', says trade union group
Contingency timetable takes effect as bus drivers stage strike action
Ten day walkout gets underway
