		Most candidates stand as independents, although there is a small Manx Labour Party (which historically returns a small number of Members -- this time, two) and a rather looser confederation, the Alliance for Progressive Government (which in recent elections, including this one, has also returned Members, but they essentially stand as independents).
		The manifestos of candidates vary considerably, but often focus as much on local constituency issues as the wider policy issues which are of increasing importance to a small island, with significant legislative and executive autonomy, which is somewhat dependent on its role as an off-shore finance centre in an increasingly interdependent and global market-place.
		Certainly, Manx politicians at present display very limited enthusiasm for the notion that party politics should be a feature of the Isle of Man.

		To have done that was ample justification for a spectacular party and after the inevitable carping of the critics (the local term is ‘Manx crabs’) had been quelled, that was just what took place.
		The tenure of the Atholl family was relatively short-lived as, despite their inevitably larger resources, relations between Scotland and England were not as settled as they might have been, and in 1765 the third Duke was subjected to the eighteenth-century equivalent of compulsory purchase, being obliged to surrender his kingdom to the English crown.
		However, the present Duke has suggested that the acquisition was inextricably bound up with the process of reducing the power of the Scottish nobles in the light of their questionable loyalty to the Crown during the Jacobean uprisings of 1715 and 1745.
