In reply to maltimissawt. Guess why Muscat has a problem with elections in March, Antoine.

So, according to an article in MaltaToday the sale of BWSC and an uncertain portion of Enemala to China will be finalised over the coming weeks (no prizes for guessing where the reductions are coming from).

Rather naively I’m going to say that I hope Muscat realises that without the interconnector or the new power station that puts our power needs 100% into Chinese arms. If the supply from BWSC goes (or is threatened to be pulled) the remaining generators cannot feasibly cope.

Incidentally isn’t it curious how a government that said it would not meddle with the Airmalt restructuring managed to drift off course to the tune of €16m. I sense a bailout there too.

In reply to Tabatha White. It's autumn, but still warm. I'm still wearing my straw boater, but soon I expect to change to a trilby.

From MaltaToday some weeks pre election:

Will Mizzi take personal responsibility by resigning, if Labour gets elected but fails to deliver its promise to reduce the bills?

Mizzi does not even consider this eventuality. “There will be no need to resign from parliament,” he replies candidly. “Because we will make it happen… It is based on proven models and there is significant interest to make it happen.”

Before 2008 elections, Dr Gonzi promised to reduce income tax rates during the first year of legislation. He didn’t keep his promise, not even during the 2nd or 3rd or 4th year. Did someone ask for his resignation??

In reply to maltimissawt. In the video link provided by Ciccio, at 1.20.30 Muscat assumes responsility for the whole project and, a few minutes later, says he will resign if it is not carried out. He was not referring to the reduction in tariffs but the building of a gas power plant.

In reply to Pete Ross. And as a lucky by-product, our medical students get a steady supply of patients from the 'cancer factory' to practice on. Win-win.
