The Sunday Times election survey tomorrow

J Martinelli

John, Polls were wrong six out of seven times. It is unlikely that a Poll among 500 out of a population of over 400,000 can be accurately relied on.
Besides the deciding & binding 'Poll' will be taken on March 9.
Labour has always been arrogant towards the Press whose job, normally, is to ask questions which Labour refuses to answer. Not inviting Medialink to LP Press Conferences is typical.

Mr Brincat when I saw Fenech and Mizzi on the TV I was disgusted by the arrogance and rudeness of Fenech. Unbelievable. I was thinking your same frequency, but for me the most important is to get rid of these people because their arrogance continued even in their campaign. They seem to be the gods of Malta! Think it over.

Mr.Victor Vella , The Rudeness was Because Fenech was unable to withstand Mr Mizzi's Arroagance and Lies . It was clearly Shown That The PN 's Alternative was relatively cheaper plus , The Pn's Project Will Save More Jobs and The Private Sector won't have a part , thus saving our People's Jobs .

@ J Fenech. "The Rudeness was Because Fenech was unable to withstand Mr Mizzi's Arroagance and Lies "

Mr Fenech ARE YOU SERIOUS.! Rude, Arrogant and Lying, as usual, was absolutely Minister Fenech himself with his `adjectives` addressed to the PL, and especialy when he walked to Mr Mizzi and gave him a plastic folder full of papers with empty answers and which Mr Mizzi, calmly returned back..!!!

A. Mifsud

Jan 13th, 10:19

with all due respect Mr. Brincat.... what prompts you to believe that anyone thinking to profit from a utility can afford a 65% mark up?

No problem , in your case for every 100 Euro of Electricity Bills that you receive , send an extra 25 Euro donation to the Enemalta your rightist government has failed out with debts and bad management .. I am sure your contribution will be appreciated .. my friend .. the time of doing piblic project for the benefit of the few is over .. we just cannot afford it ..

M Gatt

Jan 12th, 19:26

A simple fibre optic cable took Go almost 2 years of planning and implementation. Do you really believe that the inter-connector can be implemented so quickly? Labour is the way forward. GonziPN hasn't done anything about energy that's worth mentioning in the past 25 years. They won't start now. Instead we will get more Arrivas, BWSCs and wasteservs.

Tony Borg

Jan 12th, 19:29

@ Adrian Gouder

Blind are those who do not want to see.

It is not us who are going to invest but the private sector.

Mary Camenzuli

Jan 12th, 19:36

... a private sector who will then pass on to the consumer its costs plus profit.

Chris Gatt

Jan 12th, 19:42

@Tony Borg.. and daft are people who don't think things through. And who is going to pay for the private sector's profits at the end of the year ? go on, I give you one guess.

C. Agius

Jan 12th, 19:43

we could also invest 80/100 million eur in an open air theater.

Ray Buhagiar

Jan 12th, 19:47

@ Tony Borg.

That is my concern. With Labour proposal we are indirectly privatising the energy sector. Will it be done for nothing or for profit? Who will pay for this profit? And how much? What happens if after 10 years the private company wants to increase the profit? What if the Govt refuse and the company shuts down the investment?
Have a look at how energy in UK is paid for?

Cornelius Murphy

Jan 12th, 19:52

@M Gatt

According to you, the only thing that can be implemented in 2 years is a new power station complete with a gas delivery and storage system that we haven't even begun to dream of. Am I right?

Tony Borg

Jan 12th, 20:16

@ Chris Gatt & Mary Camenzuli

The private sector will be investing in a better and more efficient power station which will give us cheaper electricity and not one of the dearest in Europe as present.

This comment is very strange coming from supporters of a party who have privatized all the public industries to make them more efficient!!

So no it will not be a burden but lower bills!!

Mary Camenzuli

Jan 12th, 20:20

M Gatt said
"A simple fibre optic cable took Go almost 2 years of planning and implementation".
Mela ara power station bl-infrastruttura kollha biex nilqgħu l-vapuri tal-gass kemm se tieħu!

C Agius
the 80 million have paid for much more than that and took 4 years;
imagine 600 million for a power station we don't need!

Mr Edward Caruana Galizia

Jan 13th, 00:24

For those of you who think that privatizing electricity will bring about lower bills, you might want to youtube what has happened around the world when water and electricity has been put in the hands of investors. Start with Detroit in the US, and then work from there.

robert pace

Jan 13th, 06:10

Mr Gouder . sorry come what may,PN has never delivered and let matters get out of hand. We are spending a fotune in electricity and PN couldnt careless they even icrease their salaries y 500e a week. So we have to go for Pl and give them their time and share to try, bye bye PN

Salvino Zammit

Jan 13th, 09:54

I believe that Adrian is 101% right- Conrad Mizzi is doing his very best to convince the nation that his workings are manageable-however the 'Baketa Magika' is playing here-Alice in wonderland as well took over this Soap Opera- The surveys are now showing a positive increase of voters looking at PN- IS-SEWWA JIRBAH ZGUR, GO FOR IT- Dr Lawrence Gonzi we are here to support you.

Josephine Tanti

Dear Mr Critien,
The MLP did many mistakes in the l80s. For one, their attack on church schools that impacted me like many other children greatly. The PN invested in education and I'm grateful to the EFA admin.
But only the brainwashed cannot see that the present admin is in shambles and equally arrogant not to admit it.
10 yrs in the opposition for PN will help it rebuild itself. Then we'll see

Mark A. Sammut

Jan 12th, 21:58

Point is, EFA was right about l-alternanza. After 10 years all politicians become arrogant.

Indeed, the drafters of the US Constitution were wise to introduce an 2-term limit on any person occupying the post of President.

We have a lot to learn from the Americans.

Pierre Fenech

Jan 12th, 22:55

Mr Critien I agree with you that pre1987 the level of arrogance was very high but two wrongs does not make a right no? The arrogance of the era of Dr Gonzi is very near to those dark days but this time it is subtle. I am one of the young people (as you described us) but so far have always voted PN. Last time i was tempted but with Sant i was not ready for it. Now i am ready to give PL a chance.

Jan 12th, 19:45

Too high for what, or rather for whom? if, as you say, the polls will show a high amount of undeclared, is that not also an indication of the state of play. 25 years (give or take) in opposition and three leaders later, and still people need to be convinced? Interesting no?

Joe Grech

Jan 12th, 17:50

Yours is a very valid comment. Arriva - and this dying PN administration - have let the entire population down for so many months. The reason: there simply were not enough Arriva buses to cater for the intended new service arrangements.
But Austin Gatt, Transport Malta and, I understand Arriva itself, did not accept the facts.
That was Arrogance and Inefficiency combined!

Ma nahsibx li tiflaħ ħafna, għax jidher li għandek deni ta' żiemel, wara l-proposti li għamel il-PL.. Jekk kien fihom biss tgħaffiġ, ma jmissux tħawwad gonzipn, 4 verzjonijiet f'ġurnata waħda. Żomm il-kolp. Issa tara meta tippubblikaw il-proposti tagħkom fuq l-energija ħalli tara kif sejrin tkomplu tgħidu l-kontra li għidtu qabel.

Jan 12th, 19:21

@ J.Pace, it shows that you are a fanatic PN and all you read and hear is PN journalism.
If you read or hear independent journalism, you will find out that what you are saying is not the feeling of the majority. A lot of private sectors such as MHRA, who employ 35,000 employees, and many others who met in different forums, agreed that this energy plan makes sense and they support it.

M Gatt

Jan 12th, 19:24

To be honest I know many ex-PN voters, some of them being shop owners that are saying that they will vote LP after the energy plans.

Wara biss Gimgha nista nghidlek li l Vot taghna wara l proposti tal Pl ahna se nivutaw favur bil qalb lil Partit Laburista ghax sa issa ma smajna xejn min ghand l Pn hlief kutrunbajzi .

Thanks PL

Jan 12th, 22:17

Mr. Pace there is one major difference this time round. PL opened the door to many talented people who probably were sidelined by the PN to make way for the blue eyed boys in the inner circle not like many who were left out and ignored by PN like us who always supported the PN for its good policies. This time round i am only seing negativity and that is a sign of weakness. A miracle is needed.
