Changes to the way the electoral roll is kept are set to be debated in the House of Keys today.

The Registration of Electors Bill is down for its second reading, when its principles will be debated.

It aims to update the rules surrounding the electoral register to enable a system of ’individual and continuous registration’.

Electors would remain on the electoral roll for life or until they leave the island permanently but would be responsible for the accuracy of information. That responsibility would rest with the individual, rather than the ’head of household’ as it currently stands.

Just one other piece of legislation makes an appearance The Road Traffic Legislation (Amendment) Bill is down for a nominal first reading, with debate due to take place when it reaches the second reading stage.

In terms of question time, the future of sub-post offices appears again. Some of the questions have a familiar ring to them and the areas covered include how to asses their contribution to the economy, along with how benefits will be paid, along with self-service machines and business cases.

Other issues to be raised include a call for an update on investigation into the possibility of including Isle of Man in UK flood reinsurance schemes, road safety, urban regeneration and appointment systems for GPs.

Martyn Perkins (Garff) has an interesting one about where the lifeboat house would go in Douglas Harbour were it to be redeveloped.

There is no Legislative Council this week or next, as we await the outcome of the election of candidates to the upper chamber.

That brings us to the disturbing reports that a candidate has encountered racism and Islamophobia.

It is a wake-up call for us all and, while many have spoken out in support of the candidate affected, there are a few keyboard warriors who should spend more time soul-searching and less time deflecting.

The bottom line is any prejudice is unacceptable.

The Isle of Man has made great strides against prejudice in a number of areas - but it was not always easy and has often taken brave actions by those confronting it.

If calling out prejudice makes someone a snowflake, let’s have a blizzard.
