No, a majority of the big political parties are for oil exploration in this area, including (until very recently) the Labour party. The reason they have done a 180 on this and blocked the proposal for oil exploration there is because of pressure from the youth wing of their party, who are vocally against it and have been so for decades. There is no grand calculus, just a political reality. In fact part of the labor party is very upset because some labour organizations have been in favor of oil and gas exploration there because of the jobs it would bring. |
