Allan Bell: The people's choice for Chief Minister

by isleofman.com 3rd October 2011

With the make-up of the new House of Keys now known, attention is turning to who will be the Island’s next Chief Minister.

The first sitting of the new Keys takes place tomorrow (Tuesday) when newly elected members will be sworn in before electing a Speaker.

However, the main focus then switches to who will be nominated come 5pm tomorrow afternoon for the Island’s top political job.

Certainly, Manx Radio’s exit polls show one person has plenty of public support.

During last week’s election, we asked who voters would like to see as Chief Minister, and the top three were: Allan Bell, Steve Rodan and outgoing Treasury Minister Anne Craine.

The issue goes to a vote in Tynwald next week.

Manx Radio’s political commentator Charles Cain says there's no surprise in the top three chosen by the public.
