Where is Astrid, the defender of our environment, the guardian or our rural and urbane inheritance, where is she? Has her courage waned or is she afraid of something?

We, who have borne her with due patience, deserve an answer.

In reply to Jozef.

What legality? Anything can be made legal; just pass an Act through Parliament where you enjoy a majority and two hoots to the rest and the rights of consultation and of any other.

This is the PL strategy. They have done it before (even to absurdity as for the use of such words as nation, national, Malta and Maltese).

They are already indicated that that’s the way they will be going. Anything else, according to Joseph is mediocre.

Initially I had thought that explaining why the LP’s energy plan was truly a change of direction (off the right road and straight into a brick wall) would be too technical for the common voter to understand.

Tonio Fenech proved me wrong. A well thought-out presentation, devoid of the flashy graphics, and grounded in solid arguments, facts and figures, and conveyed in clear-to-understand language for anyone with a brain.

Mr Fenech does tend to either grasp or repeatedly mispronounce certain words, such as reclassification (instead of regasification) terminal (on another occasion, it was table water instead of water table), but even with these minor slipups, he was clear and a joy to listen to.

Of course, none of this matters to the Labour voter. But I’m sure that Mr Fenech has got the attention of the others who were thinking of doing the unthinkable this time round.

Well done, Mr Fenech. You deserve our respect.

May I suggest that subjects such as this are never left to the regular exponents of the party to discuss on tv/radio programmes without at least a lengthy and detailed briefing by those in the know, who in this case is obviously Tonio Fenech. Adlibing on technical matters by those not knowledgeable enough on the subject only does great harm to otherwise solid arguments.

@Newcomer – you vote in a party by voting for it – if you have a poor grasp of English don’t blame me.

You’re not too bright if you cannot understand that the PN position has not changed one iota….and is totally consistent.

In reply to La Redoute. Not him! There is somebody bigger who is on a mission to make sure that Labour are elected.

Two years ago, the Israeli ambassador said that the Labour Party have very good relations with Bateman.

If I were a PN journalist I would contact Bateman and see what they think of the PL’s proposal.

In reply to Dickens. Nothing, obviously.
