Some people actually think that if Labour is elected, their electricity bill will be cut by half. This is a misconception. It is a scam similar to the VAT/CET con dreamed up by Labour to make the people believe that they will be paying less for electricity.

My electricity bill for the period May 23, 2007 to December 10, 2007 (202 days) amounted to €556.08 (Lm238.72). This was made up of €343.04 (Lm147.27) consumption, €15.40 (Lm6.61) meter rent, and €237.64 (Lm102.02) surcharge.

If Labour is elected my electricity bill for the equivalent period will be cut by €118.81(Lm51.00), that is €0.59 (Lm0.25c) per day or €215.35 (Lm92.45) per annum.

Gee thanks Fred. Your magnanimity knows no bounds. I think I'll play it safe and vote for Lawrence!
