Why are you so astonished?

We had a glorified tea boy at a financial firm, who mutated into a TV station journalist. And if you are still not impressed, same anti EU journalist evolved into MEP, conveniently forgetting how much slop he wrote against said institution. And now same fella is poised to lead this sad country.]]></description>

Stop trying. 

I cannot understand how 800MW when the required is less than 450 is in any way efficient. 

We just won&#039;t give up thinking they must have a cunning plan.

No I don&#039;t agree. Unless you think a gas tank is truer to form. 

Labour&#039;s prize catcall was that BWSC&#039;s pollution abatement was too expensive and complicated. Let&#039;s scrap everthing and build from scratch shall we?]]></description>

I give up.

Do you have to be so touchy now that Labour&#039;s outdone GonziPN&#039;s bridge to nowhere? 

I bet you&#039;ll be there cheering as Joseph declares parliament as another of his great achievements.]]></description>

Can we have a list of all the Hypothetical Electoral Plans Courtesy of The Electorate? I&#039;d like to check whose guess was right on 10th March.

My own guess is that Labour will:
1) Get cheap gas from some North African/Gulf producer
2) Tailor our foreign policy to suit the producer. And turn us, once more, into the Whore of the Med.
3) Over-produce electricity by running all our power stations at full tilt, and air quality and sahha tal-poplu be damned.
4) Sell the surplus to the Sicilians at above-market prices.]]></description>

jozef, re your comment

&quot;Convertible to gas when finances allow it. Or haven’t you seen the fuel savings? &quot;

wouldn&#039;t it have been better to convert the powerstation to gas instead of having a new parliament?????? please answer

that way we can have cleaner air for all.....
or is that not important?

personally if you look at it without political blinkers one would prefer cleaner air instead of a new parliament....... don&#039;t you agree?]]></description>
