Another open letter to Labour

Published on The Times of Malta on Sunday 14th October, 2007 by Alfred Curmi.

I fully agree with the arguments expressed by James A. Tyrrell (The Sunday Times, October 7) about the proposed Hondoq ir-Rummien development in Gozo.

When such situations arise, given that we are now on the verge of extending services through e-government, it may be worth trying some form of a voting system. Here the local councils should be aptly consulted and asked for their services.

This may possibly serve as a pilot project for the launching of some form of e-government local election system which then would be extended to the general election.

The present government should decentralise further, even in this regard.
