Mann First Mission Statement

Mann First is a synthetic political cooperative focused around Isle of Man politics that aims to provide a platform for political debate and policy information in the run up to the 2026 General Election. Mann First was created on 22nd June 2025 when the creators of this platform asked ChatGPT to:

Write us a brief web page for a new political party in the Isle of Man. The focus of the party should be to deal with government constantly over spending budgets, over employment in the public sector and other general government mismanagement and position it as a party that is for Manx people and supports Manx people. Also suggest a name for the party"

The end result was Mann First – A New Voice for the Isle of Man

Mann First will continue this AI theme by reproducing unbiased commentary, polls, economic data and other information concerning the Isle of Man purely filtered by various AI platforms.

Mann First stands for:

✅ Fiscal Responsibility. Successive governments have consistently overspent, misallocated funds, and expanded bureaucracy without delivering results. We believe in balanced budgets, efficient use of public funds, and accountability at every level.

✅ Smaller, Smarter Government. The public sector should serve the people—not the other way around. We will reduce unnecessary roles, eliminate duplication, and streamline services to make government work for you, not itself.

✅ Putting the Manx First. Our island deserves better. From housing and healthcare to education and opportunity, we are committed to policies that support Manx residents, protect our heritage, and grow a sustainable future rooted in local priorities.
