All candidates in this year's General Election need to be able to address the Island's financial problems.
That's the belief of Vice President of the Isle of Man Trade Unions Council, Andrew Shipley.
Last week, the IOM TUC Congress launched its Axe Factor Campaign - to raise awareness of the election - with a small demonstration outside Legislative Buildings to highlight the cost of politicians.
Mr Shipley says all prospective candidates need to have some positive ideas for the Island's financial future.
