Oil not a factor on how people vote 

Jan 19, 2025 Letters

Dear Editor,

In the back-and-forth exchanges among various commentators on Exxon renegotiation, and references to party politics, the oil contract and Exxon are not significant factors in how the electorate vote. They will not induce people to vote for or against any party.

The contract and Exxon are factors in the politics of the political parties, not the voters, and all sides are sensibly wooing the oil giant. That is good politics! But Exxon wisely has not gotten involved in the local politics and is not likely now to take sides.

No government, regardless of party in office, would want to alienate Exxon or other oil investors or break contracts or take other measures that would adversely affect investment. We need investment to continue the path of rapid development. Thus, each party is playing its card silently and wisely so to encourage oil production and lure investors.

Yours sincerely,

Vishnu Bisram
