Douglas event to debate power of lobbying

Parliamentary representation and how best to get it - that's the topic of a debate in Douglas tonight.

MHKs and political party representatives will join the conversation at the event which is looking at whether it can be achieved by lobby groups.

Among those taking part are MHKs Kate Beecroft and Chris Thomas, MLC David Cretney, Onchan commissioner Rob Callister and Mark Kermode from Mec Vannin.

The meeting is open to the general public - it takes place at the South Douglas Old Friends Association at 7pm.
