Rushen MHK Phil Gawne says he will walk away from politics if he feels he has to 'compromise morality or conviction'.
The Environment, Food and Agriculture Minister made the comments on Twitter after claiming he was being threatened by an MLC.
He says it's since he brought forward proposals to abolish LegCo in the House of Keys last week - the proposals were not supported.
Now seemingly, anonymous “anti-DEFA” correspondence has been circulated throughout government.
Mr Gawne , who won't name the MLC, says it seems too coincidental:
13 arrested in drink-drive campaign
Laxey road shut until January
Former Motor Museum goes on the market
No Onchan Park plan, say commissioners
Laxey campsite to get campervan improvements
Local authority: don't suffer in silence at Xmas
Government reminder over salt bins
Weather warning in place for high tides
