An opinion poll has found half of the people surveyed think the Island should have more independence from the UK.

The Manx People Power Survey spoke to over a thousand people from different age groups.

48% believe the Isle of Man should be more independent, 43% think it's fine the way it and just 5% want less independence.

Professor Hugh Davidson is responsible for the poll.

He's surprised that people also don't think the Isle of Man communicates properly with the United Kingdom.
