The Manx nationalist party Mec Vannin is reporting a steady flow of people keen to become members.
It comes in the wake of recent jolts to the Island's relationship with the United Kingdom.
Mec Vannin believes the loss of free healthcare in the UK for Manx residents from next April and the huge loss of revenue as a result of changes to the VAT sharing arrangement, have rekindled interest in the movement.
A rallying call for independence has attracted almost 400 members to a new Manx nationalist Facebook group.
And activists recently daubed nationalist slogans on road signs in the Peel area.
Chairman of Mec Vannin Mark Kermode says politicians should do more to represent nationalist sentiment.
