The Isle of Man is not part of the UK, good governance is the responsibility of the UK (on behalf of the British Crown). The Island is a self governing Crown dependency - it is not an independent country but it also isn't part of the UK or European Union. Think of it as a possession of the British Crown (monarchy). People from the Isle of Man can not vote in UK or EU elections (unless they're living in an EU country). People from the IOM aren't entitled to UK health care either (from 2010).
The term 'British Isles' is controversial and is offensive to some people. Ireland and the Isle of Man are in that group of islands and are not part of the UK.
Yes. The Isle of Man is part of the UK, and the monarch of the UK and the British Empire and Commonwealth is Queen Elizabeth II
No. Britain is an island made of England, Scotland and Wales. The Isle of Man is a separated island, between Britain and Ireland. It is not part of the United Kingdom either. It is a Crown dependency.
The Republic of Ireland.
The Isle of Man parliament is called the Tynwald.
No, you do not need a passport to travel to the Isle of Wight if you are already in the UK. The Isle of Wight is part of England, so UK residents can travel there using just a form of identification, like a driver's license. However, if you are coming from outside the UK, you will need a valid passport to enter the country before traveling to the Isle of Wight.
UK Road Traffic laws do not apply to countries outside of the UK (such as Isle of Man).
The Isle of Man is not part of the UK so it has no MPs. Manx people do not vote in British or European elections. The Isle of Man's parliament is called Tynwald and its politicians are called MHKs (Members of the House of Keys).
technically the Isle of Man is a Dependency of the British Crown and is not actually part of the United Kingdom. Therefore - like the Channel Islands - it is not part of the EU and is not a member of many international organisations. It also mints its own coins and issues its own stamps etc. The UK parliament can enforce laws in the Isle of Man, but only if the island is specifically mentioned in the act of parliament.
The Isle of Man is a Crown dependency and not part of the UK, while the Channel Islands, including Jersey and Guernsey, are also Crown dependencies. Other islands like Rockall and the small islands of St Kilda are considered uninhabited or disputed territories, with Rockall being claimed by the UK but not permanently inhabited. Additionally, there are islands such as the Shetland and Orkney Islands that are part of Scotland and thus part of the UK, but they may have distinct cultural identities.
The Isle of Man is an automous, self-governing Crown Dependency. For most purposes it is independent, but the British government handles external affairs (foreign relations) and defence matters. It's certainly not part of "GB" though - Great Britain is merely a geographical place (i.e. the big island east of Ireland which consists of England, Scotland and Wales). It has its own legal, medical, education, police, local and national government systems. Manx people (people from the Isle of Man) are British citizens but can't vote in UK or EU elections unless they're living in the UK. Unless Manx people have a family connection to the UK then they aren't entitled to live or work elsewhere in the European Union. Manx people aren't entitled to UK healthcare either.
