Whatever the feasibility of this project, one should never choose a government or take a serious voting decision for the future of one’s country simply to have one’s water and electricity bills reduced.
It is very shortsighted to decide the future of a country only on such an issue.

Merkel priases Malta’s performance in difficult times.

And this is supposed to be a serious comment! Since when is the country being asked to decide the future Government on water and electricity bills alone? This is simply one part of the election campaign by Labour and it was handed to them on a plate by the dumb bastards in PN who opted to go down the heavy fuel oil route. Of course now they regret that decision and are kicking themselves because JM has used it against them. The outcome of the election is already a foregone conclusion and it would save the country a lot of time and money if Gonzi would slither back under the nearest rock and allow Labour to take over the country now. Of course that would never happen because Gonzi will hang on until the very last second and fill his pockets with everything he can before he leaves.

The PL’s part of the election campaign regarding the water and electricity bill will be the downfall of the PL in the coming election.
Obviously you won’t be putting money on that!
It is more than short sighted. It is foolish in the extreme. Water and electricity bills can be properly managed by reducing wastage and using efficient appliances.
Labour’s wild promises work out at an annual saving of 100Euros a year in my household.
Even if Labour’s pie-in-the-sky plans were to succeed, why would I want to sell 5 years of my peace of mind for 30c a day?
Oh for sod’s sake, Stiefnu. We’re still on day three of a long, drawn out electoral campaign.
Just to give some perspective, the PN hasn’t made any concrete proposals yet. Shall we criticise them for that?
There’s plenty of time for more rabbits to be pulled out of a hat.
Rabbits out of hats? Poor choice of words, if you’re attempting to defend little Joey.
I am only saying that we have barely seen anything of what (I’m sure) both parties have in store.
As far as I am concerned the PN does not have to make any concrete proposals.
It can afford to bask in the phenomenal success of a quarter of a century in government within a hostile international economic environment.
The end result is for everyone to see.
For everyone without blinkers, that is.
The PN have a proven track-record to be proud of.
Having spent the whole of my teens under a Labour government, I will never trust the latter with my children’s future.
Thankfully I have a stable job and through hard work and commitment I fall under the 35% tax band which will eventually be reduced to 25% over 3 years, that’s 10% more in my pocket.
10% of my income is much higher then 25% of my electricity bill.
So why would I risk the stability of my country and workplace by voting for Joseph? Should I only do this so that Cetta ta’ Wenza can leave her 20-year-old electricity-sucking Grundig TV switched on all day on Kalamita? (U nibatu l-SMS’s ghax ghall-giehna mejtni bil-guh.)
Well said and agree with you 100%. I would never risk my freedom and benefits acquired under the PN for any gimmick or proposal to reduce my electricity bill.
