Around 40 people attended a requisition meeting last night, ahead of next week's North Douglas by-election.
But a good number in the audience at Willaston Methodist Hall were not residents of the constituency.
Candidates David Ashford, Marie Booth and Ralph Peake answered questions on issues ranging from the maintenance of Willaston council properties and the Steam Packet user agreement, to whether the Island should have a unicameral, or single chamber parliament.
Voters in North and South Douglas go to the polls next Thursday (21 May) to fill a vacant House of Keys seat in each constituency.
Here's what some of those who attended thought of the debate:
Man jailed for sports centre hot tub attack
New chair of Ramsey Commissioners hopes to see more development
Changes to Steam Packet schedules next week
Minister acknowledges need to act quickly to mitigate concerns of hospitality sector
Neil Taverner wins Cleveland Medal
Technical issue behind flight delay
