That’s precisely why Labour is silent on AD’s proposal – because it will introduce a property tax in order to finance the lowering of utility tariffs.

It’ll be the the only right thing they ever do, but for the wrong reason.

You mark my words. That is, unless Labour receives a really fat cheque from a really fat construction magnate in the run-up to the election.

A chain is as strong as its weakest link.
That makes the MLP vulnerable.

In fact, the Labour Kazin of Lija (happened to pass by it when I went out) was showing that football match instead of the debate (or the One programme showing at the same time). Tiskanta l-interess li kellhom ;)

And that is more frightening than PL winning the elections.

Anthony Briffa,

I do not agree with you in the CC for AD comment. He was the one who cornered Anglu to spell out the possibility of the PL trick of reducing electricity costs and increasing the electricity rates.

He was given those graphs with keywords attached to remember when to use them.

I half expected a page three girl, taf int, to break the ice with his audience.

Yes, fascinating how she thinks good politics are about conning people and managing to look good.

Anything to distract from the vacuum they’ve brought on themselves.

Question is, will AD accept to propose realistic, workable solutions?

Cacopardo may be well versed in statistics, but proposing a blanket tax on empty property isn’t on. Did he take into account those who’ve inherited their ancestor’s property?

Does that make them concrete pouring magnates?

And how does he think we feel when they came all out in defence of landlords only to see it fizzle in a matter of weeks?

Restructuring the building industry eh? And who hasn’t considered it? The only criterion is how to make the alternatives profitable, not restrain entrepreneurs on moral principles, noble they may be.

One thing I’m in agreement with, the property bubble will certainly blow up if Joseph keeps playing Zapatero.

Does AD agree that major infrastructural works, including the tunnel link are an instrument to reduce the industry’s demand for land? He mentioned quays yesterday, why not a metro?

Does AD believe that certain zones within the northern inner harbour area are to be recreated from scratch, instead of leaving them ghettoes stiffled by major arteries?

What mechanism does AD propose to agglomerate development? It’s the fragmentation that’s caused the mess.

In short, will AD move away from fundamentalist conservation and experiment with design coordination? Or is it too much to listen to the Polidano’s of this place?

I don’t like it when a 20 year old states that a listed company should be forced to give up a contract. Companies are willing to alter their mission statements if there’s money to be made.

Yes but carefully, have a look at Maltatoday’s analysis by Matthew Vella, Simon’s ‘condescending charisma’ he called it. Typical ‘independent’ speak.

Why? Are we supposed to accept this unprecedented degeneration?

It’s a hall of mirrors with Joseph. What Simon needs to do is get up to scratch with their allegations, the only tactic left. Yesterday’s explanation regarding the 29 million ‘scandal’ form instance, required more emphasis to uncover their sole consistency, lies. And to what extent they’ll go.

And perhaps turn down the dramatic tone a notch. Let the voters see for themselves, they’re too conceited this time.

What Joseph’s doing is constant transformation of placement, from old to new, from winner to underdog. He won’t be engaged.

In the end all that they’ll be left with is how unfair it would be if they weren’t elected again.
