The government of the Isle of Man is a parliamentary representative democracy. As a Crown Dependency,it is not subordinate to the government of the United Kingdom.

Her representative on the island is the Lieutenant Governor of the Isle of Man,but his role is mostly ceremonial,though he does have the power to grant Royal Assent.
