  Alex. The financial collapse is part of the reason for the government wanting to flog off the port, to put a few more pennies in the coffers. The fact that all they stand to get is a measly couple of hundred million for a port worth a multiple of that sum is probably one of the reasons that they are in no rush to come to a decision. It is a drop in the ocean in respect of our national finances and not worth the aggro, particularly after the endless series of debacles that have punctuated this government's tenure.
  
  Neither you nor anybody else concerned have any reason to state any political affiliation, this should be purely a commercial matter. The reference above to the two main political parties locally attempting to distance themselves from having anything to do with the port sell-off is relevant to the decision to be made in the first instance, that of whether to privatise or to remain in national ownership. It will have to be taken by a government of one complexion or the other and they will hopefully be cognisant of all the opprobrium that their decision is likely to bring down on them.
