“Members of the public have the moral right to question prospective members of the Legislative Council. While it is unfortunate that members of the public cannot vote to elect these politicians, Liberal Vannin is creating an opportunity for members of the public to directly question these prospective politicians. Anyone is welcome to come along and raise the issues that they feel strongly about and put their questions directly to the candidates.”

Michael Josem, Chair of Liberal Vannin
