The Isle of Man could go on to forge strong links with the ruling nationalists in the Scottish Parliament.

Mr Rodan (pictured) says the Island offers intriguing insights for the SNP - while both nations can learn from each other:
Southern 100 sidecar exclusion 'absolutely devastating'
Vicar: "Everybody goes through compromise when it comes to the races"
'We need to keep the spirit of the TT alive' says fan
Paralysed sidecar racer's team appeal for support to continue post-TT
