Michael MHK says it would make the process more democratic
Removing Legislative Council members' power to elect future Chief Ministers would make the process more democratic.
That's according to Michael MHK Alfred Cannan, who has gained support to introduce a Bill which would mean only members of the House of Keys can vote on the matter.
Currently both chambers of Tynwald have a say in the election process.
But Mr Cannan said allowing up to a third of the vote to come from publicly unelected members was undesirable:
May sentence for man who threatened to stab neighbour
Evidence sought for Area Plan inquiry
Traffic lights in operation by Palatine Health Centre
Disruption at Ronaldsway airport following incident with light aircraft
Hopes for better working relationship between government and hospitality sector
'A lot of work to do' on low income housing
