A former member of Mec Vannin is criticising the party for an alleged failure to engage in dialogue with anybody with differing views.
Rushen MHK Phil Gawne was speaking after describing the Scottish National Party's success in Thursday's Glasgow East bye-election as 'a rallying call for nationalists'.
He says that, to a large extent, the Island has a nationalist government, given the commitment of the Council of Ministers to improve its constitutional relationship with the United Kingdom and Europe, and move towards gaining greater autonomy.
But he's disappointed Mec Vannin operates so far away from mainstream politics:
Tynwald's Auditor General publishes annual report
Public warned of increased risk of wildfires
Cocaine, ketamine and cannabis dealer jailed
Assisted Dying Bill mover pleased as Jersey becomes first place in British Isles to legalise assisted deaths
