Member Of The House Of Keys
The House of Keys () is the directly elected lower house of Tynwald, the parliament of the Isle of Man, the other branch being the Legislative Council. History The oldest known reference to the name is in a document of 1417, written in Latin by an English scholar, which refers to (the "Keys of Man") and (the "Keys of Law"). There is a dispute, however, over the origin of the name. The word ''keys'' is thought by some to be an English corruption of a form of the Norse verb ("to choose"). However, a more likely explanation is that it is a mishearing of the Manx-language term for "four and twenty": , the House having always had 24 members. The Manx-language name of the House remains ("The Four and Twenty"). Governance Members are known as ''Members of the House of Keys'' (MHKs). Citizens over the age of 16 may vote, while one must be at least 18 years old and a resident of the island for three years to be elected an MHK. There are 12 constituencies, mainly based on t ...
