These are the last few days into the election campaign. The most crucial. As the Prime Minister said, our duty this week is to be ambaassadors of our country – it is our duty to convince people of their duty to vote. We need to turn to all those potential voters who have not collected their vote and explain the consequences. We are talking of choosing the person at the helm in the next five years. This is not about getting a permit to build a new window, to develop a new project….Yes many of us are disgruntled about such related issues BUT this should not be the underlying rationale of choosing our future. If Sant gets elected as Prime Minister, we will all be much more disgruntled. The truth is that we will be disgruntled about much more serious matters. We have tried him, tested him but NO. WE DO NOT DESERVE HIM. Our country deserves much better and the option is up to us. Each and every one of us.

Daphne,

I’m glad that i can get to read even more of your work!

It certainly seems like you have a mob that is hell bent on intimidating you and shutting you up.

If, like myself, they knew what stuff you are made of, they would know that they are wasting their time.

Tell your boy to keep his chin up. Been there, done that… welcome to the club kiddo!

Firstly congratulations on your venture into blogdom. ^_~

For all the fanfare of the imminent election, I must point out that the two parties, including GonziPN (…), have spent a lot of energy flinging mud at each other in the hope that some will stick.

On the other side of the spectrum you have independent candidates who participate within a public meeting which is then only reported to have had two speakers – such as the independent which I presume to be your source as regards Mr. Norman Lowell and Dr. Emmy Bezzina.

Add to this an atmosphere of electoral treachery, not least manifested via the recent censorship of Mr. Norman Lowell’s only 5 minutes afforded for an entire campaign (5 – 5 = 0 minutes of air time) and you might be forgiven for wondering exactly ‘what’ is wrong with the country.

My primary message remains the same – the one that was (intentionally?) censored by the media (short of the sacrifice I made to make it my message for my “5 minutes of glory”).

Vote for change and vote for the minority parties.

Don’t settle for 2s – The number 1s offer the best opportunity for change – and such is the consequence of the system that MLPN put into place as far as the electoral system is concerned – ensuring that minorities are locked out.

So be the change and vote for change! This kind of opportunity only comes once every five years… so spread the word!

Welcome to the blogging world Daphne… even for this short stay. I actually think it should be a permanent move – no matter how much we disagree an open debate like this can only be healthy.

Speaking of disagreeing I wrote a comment to today’s article on the Independent (Be Vigilant) and since it is 2000 words long I think I better link it… my html is a bit hazy when there are no WISYWIG buttons so here is the address:
