Peter Craine

Who was Peter Craine?

Peter Craine was a politician from the Isle of Man and an MHK for Douglas South.

He was originally with the party Mec Vannin. In the 1976 election they put up ten candidates. Only Peter Craine was successful. He remains to this day the only Mec Vannin MHK there has ever been, although several ex-members have gone on to become MHKs.

Craine subsequently left Mec Vannin, joining the short-lived breakaway Manx National Party which was formed in 1977 and when Craine stopped being an MHK in 1981 the Manx National Party soon ceased to exist.
