With 12 new Members elected last night, experience is one of the key issues that face the new administration. Only five of the returned Members have any Ministerial experience marking them out as potential Chief Minister Candidates.

The Home Affairs Minister Juan Watterson is widely tipped to have his eyes on the position of Speaker, ruling him out of Executive Government. Both Chris Robertshaw and Graham Cregeen ended the last administration outside the Council of Ministers, which leaves just former Health Minister Howard Quayle and former Economic Minister, Laurence Skelly as sitting Comin Members eyeing up the top job.

Howard Quayle told Energy FM that he would consider throwing his name in. (Play Clip).
