who needs MLP? let’s do away with MLP and turn Malta in a one state-party! jolly-daphne

[Moderator – rene, we wouldn’t like the wholesale departure of the MLP. Far from it, all we want is a decent opposition and a party that, if elected, wouldn’t encourage half the population to emigrate.]

Mod – Maybe he was using the term “pyrrhic victory” to quote somebody whom he once thought “had an aura about him that is disarming” (or something to that effect)

thanks for pointing out the typo Moderator. That’s coz I didn’t go to a Church/private/independent school perhaps. Come to think of it, my primary years were actually spent at a Church school. Yippee!!
Vanni, are you implying I work for Super 1 or Smash TV? Coz you’re wrong on both counts.

@ Gerald
“@Vanni. Thanks for all your suggestions. But what are you trying to prove? That the company I work for is broke?”

I couldn’t care less about the company, if truth be told, although I do care a lot about the workers and their dependents. So you do have my sympathy.

BTW, and just so you don’t think I am going all soft :), I see you have found your surname again :)

@Daphne, it is becoming quite expensive for anyone to have a decent standard of living these days. And I do not have only myself to support – however I don’t think I should start listing my dependents on this blog as you may well appreciate.
@Bocca. Yes Labour lost the elction and people are anti Labour, consistently. So what? Does that make me want to switch back to the PN? Never!
@Simon. I reiterate I have no longer anything to do with 7 News and Smash TV. I have no problem with the ‘son of the boss’ running the news. Do you find a problem with that? I thought nobody watched Smash TV’s news as it has been derided as mediocre and Labour leaning. As for the suggestion that someone is bothering me, of course, its the PN crowing over a Phyrric victory of 1500 votes!
@Vanni. Thanks for all your suggestions. But what are you trying to prove? That the company I work for is broke?
And now I will attempt to calm down!

[Moderator – Labour supporters really need to look up the meaning of a Pyrrhic victory (that is the correct spelling).]

@ Gerald

Since I studied in a government school under your ideological beliefs (ie Labour government), I couldn’t understand your comment/s about me. Maybe you can be so kind and socialist to explain a common mortal worker like me and teach me!

Heqq I don’t want to remain a conservative idiot… he he he

Thanks in advance.

@ P Portelli..

Thanks for the brief explanation about George Abela, but I wanted David and all others to come to those conclusions alone…

It is easy like that, they had to search about it…for that I was vague…..

But thanks anyway…..

@ P Portelli

I remember the 96 election….EU was on the immediate agenda – GA was in favour of Svizzera fil mediterran. Up until 98 he was, until he left the Labour party. The he suddenly became in favour of the EU. He voted for PN in 2003 (heared in on the grapevine) so no wonder he is a favourite with the PNers. He was also in favour of removing VAT and bringing in CET – he was Sant’s advisor at castille. Don’t you think that being in favour of CET is big black mark on Abela? and he was in favour of increasing the electricity tarriffs indiscriminately and removing stipends….he was sant’s advisor in Castille so he has a huge responsibility on his shoulders…

He left only because he wanted MLP not to call the election not because he disagreed with these policies. So why is MLP continuosly hounded with these bad decisions while GA is scott free? Why are people who were in favour of Svizzera fil Mediterran making a U turn when they aim to work in the EU while GA is elevated to hero status.

Face it GA is only liked by Nats because he was used as a propogandistic weapon against MLP and because his whole issue creates embarrasment to the MLP.

@ Gerald

I wonder why you become so verbal and aggressive. Something must be bothering you. Who is running Smash news now? The son of the boss? (no pun intended for the son of Daphne)

Gerald you need to release your tension. You can defend the Labour Party, the poodle, et all in another way. Take a hint from this video.
