Comments on: Can there be anything more pathetic, false and ridiculous than the government’s oil agreement with Libya at a time when Libyan oil is in crisis?

In reply to Floater. On the other hand, people like myself whose enthusiasm for politics had waned, and seriously couldn't bother to go to the polling booth, were shamed into doing our duty by this blog which reminded me of why I had hated Labour's guts and that a choice is necessary for the better party to be in government.

In reply to Insolja. Insolja - do you understand that oil production in Libya is at a standstill? do you know that the Libyan people have been told that subsidies on fuel are being removed? do you know what all this means? If you do, your contribution is only another Labour gimmick

In reply to Insolja.

What fuel? Did you read the links above?

The Libyan government barely controls Tripoli let alone the rest of the country.

This promise will be as deliverable as the one where people will have medicines delivered to their homes. They can’t even get them in the pharmacies.

In reply to Dry Wells.

The Nationalist Party continues to make the cardinal mistake of assuming that the electorate is intelligent when a majority of voters swallowed uncritically the hook, line and sinker of multiple “pie-in-the-sky” impossible propaganda lies of the Labour Party.

The PN media must learn that the gullible uncritical voter must be continuously spoonfed so that the truth would finally sink in by the time of the next general election.

By next year Delimara will be running on gas. How?

They haven’t even taken one bobcat to that site yet.

Cheap fuel oil. Wasn’t that carcinogenic?

A substantial reduction in fuel prices.

Yes, followed by a substantial downgrade in credit ratings.

You’re coming apart, and you don’t even see it.

In reply to Insolja. To my knowledge, government no longer fixes the fuel prices. Isn't that the job of the Malta Resources Authority and hasn't the fuel market been liberalised?

Dr Joseph Muscat and Dr Konrad Mizzi deliver what they promise.

By next year Dellimara power station will be running on gas.

In the meantime the people can’t be subjected to high fuel prices, thus the special agreement to procure cheap fuel oil from Libya.

Next budget will be showing a substantial reduction in fuel prices.

If we don’t have a decent credible opposition there really is no hope!
