Positive Action Group meeting to focus on politics at a national level

by isleofman.com 20th May 2011

THIS month's public meeting of the Positive Action Group will focus on politics at a national level.

 

The meeting, which will be held on Monday, will see the speaker of the House of Keys Steve Rodan take to the floor.

 

He will give a talk entitled My Vision for the Isle of Man – which will cover the broader issues affecting the Isle of Man.

 

Roger Tomlinson, the chair of the Positive Action Group (PAG), said: "We are delighted that Speaker Rodan has accepted our invitation to address the Manx public.

 

"PAG believes that there is not enough live interaction by our senior politicians with the public via good old fashioned political meetings.
 
"With the general election only four months away this public meeting will provide an early opportunity for people to get involved in the build up to the election.

 

"Mr Rodan, as Speaker, is outside government but there is no doubt that he has been very influential in determining how our parliament operates. He is a politician whose views are well worth hearing particularly on a strategic level."

 

Mr Rodan represents the Isle of Man in the British Irish Parliamentary Assembly and has also chaired numerous parliamentary select committees.

 

My Vision for the Isle of Man with Steve Rodan SHK will take place at 7.30pm on Monday, May 23 at the Manx Legion Club in Douglas. Admission is free and all are welcome.
