Election candidate looking for allies

Mon, 17 Jan 2011

A General Election candidate is calling for like minded individuals to put themselves forward for the election.

Rodger Gimbert - currently a Peel Commissioner - declared his intention to stand last year.

He's now looking for supporters of the Freedom of Information Act, greater scrutiny, direct election of all Tynwald members and for the people to be able to endorse the Chief Minister candidate.

Mr Gimbert says he has already been contacted by a number of people interested in such matters.
