Which must be quite an achievement given that the Isle of Man is not a part
of the UK - it's a British crown dependency and is self-governing. Of
course, this may not be entirely coincidental to the point you were making.
"The Isle of Man, situated in the centre of the British Isles, is an
internally self-governing dependent territory of the Crown which is not part
of the United Kingdom. Tynwald, the Island's 1,000 year old Parliament,
makes its own laws and oversees all internal administration, fiscal and
social policies. External issues, such as foreign representation and
defence, are administered on the Island's behalf by the U.K. Government and
the Island makes an annual payment for these services. As a British Crown
dependency, the ultimate responsibility for the Island's good government is
vested in the Crown but by long standing convention, the U.K. Government
does not legislate for the Island except with the specific consent of the
Island's Government."
