Il-partit tal-25%

The 25% will be subsidized. And if one considers that another 9% in alternative energy is required (to reach the 10% as per EU agreement), it is presumed that the alternative energy will not benefit Enemalta, hence the cost per unit of fossil fuel energy will automatically have to increase – it’s the idea behind the directive leading or trying to lead countries into looking at their energy policies and pushing for further sustainability on many fronts.

Something else no one mentioned in the past week of political trench warfare where the mud seems to be ever increasing is the power factor correction required at household level for proper billing by Enemalta.

Secondly, that with the present building quality, sustainability is totally at risk and any political party that has any blood left in it by the ides of March might as well build another two power stations. The real industrial electrical requirement has not really increased that much.

You’re missing the point that this is supposed to be about managing Malta’s energy needs for the next quarter of a century. The cost savings are meant to be a by-product, not a primary objective.

Well now that it’s game on and we are in the final round, my criticism of the PN is still rock solid.

However (in larger font and in bold) the performance of the PL to date is still found wanting.

They have no clue. Their shambles over the deputies debate, their failed attempt to use Franco Debono as a proxy for their deputy, their rather rubbery figures over energy policy, the refusal of an ex PL or was it MLP prime minister to comment on an election, the total silence about anything of political substance from anyone other than the wannabe PM…

This must surely be enough to signal a very strong message to any switching voter that the risk is just too high.

They are just playing it way too safe for comfort.

Any political party anywhere which has been in opposition for so long would be much more confident and assured with all of their members spruiking their strong message loud and clear.

This is clearly not the case. Be warned that mitigation strategies can only come into play after a very long five years.

By then all the progress and achievements to date would have been forgotten. All that would be left would be a feeling of total dissapointment.

If I was in Malta now, with absolutely no allegiance, socially or otherwise, to any political party, I would vote,albeit reluctantly, for the PN.

And I say it again, they do not deserve it. But the alternative is madness and a jump into the abyss without a parachute.

Any political party which is banking only on the fact that the incumbent has been there too long is just not good enough.

It should be so much fresher, and it certainly is not that.

Joseph Muscat…. 25% Off ! Sounds like a TV Commercial for LIDL.

Quoting:
Dr Muscat said his government would aim to reduce bureaucracy by 25 per cent.

My question is ? why is the PN not marketing their ideas more directly? although i completely understand what the PN is saying, many need more to get to grips with what is being said inorder to have a change in their mind.
Eg;- why are the PN billboards so idyllic in their message…a family…futur fos-sod…., people have heard this over and over again….why not have a family in distress with a gas delivery ship behind it and 2018 written on top!
and then at same time other billboards wit h what is PN proposing.
