At the time of the Muscat leadership elections, i was not working in the daily weekly news media so I don’t have an article to quote.

Sorry to disappoint you.

[Daphne -ALL journalists were invited? I wasn’t. I imagine they calculated it would have been a wasted 10 euros. A cut-price Labour lunch, eh? Typical. Why am I not surprised? Fejn se niehduhom, Jejsin? Ha nibbukkja mejda l-Mamma Mia, trid? That’s where half of those who work in Ta’ Xbiex go on their lunch break, when they feel like splashing out a little. Otherwise it’s Busy Bee or De Lippo. Or the A1.]

You failed to realize that Debono Grech’s political life is not at its end. His seat will be inherited by his daughter in the next general election. He must therefore maintain his seat to protect the extent of his turf as much as possible (with whatever limited powers he may still have.)

(Daphne – Oh for crying out loud. A Debono Grech dynasty. Anyway, the experience of others has shown that this isn’t possible, unless electors like the next-in-line for himself/herself.)

Really? Always clear? Clear maybe to insiders who are used to wining and dining (eating tripe?)with MLP bigwigs. Can you quote an article of yours in which you anticipated that it was going to be Cuschieri ?

Visibilty is much more important thant content and ability.

(Daphne – If you want to get to the top in Maltese politics, join Super One.)

Being an 18-year-old lad, I haven’t accumulated a lot of experience yet. But I’m learning fast, hehe.

(Daphne – Yes, isn’t it? Unfortunately, I can’t help thinking rationally, which is not always the right way with these things. In Muscat’s position, I would have targetted Debono Grech, because he’s at the end of his political life, and so has less leverage.)

Once Joseph Muscat resigns from the European Parliament, what will happen to his seat? I mean, will we then have 4 representatives instead of 5? Or will someone take up his position for the time being until the next election for the MEPs is held?

(Daphne – There will be a casual election to fill his seat until the next round of MEP elections. Those who contested with him (PN, MLP, independent, and AD – the lot) will be asked to signal their interest in ‘filling the vacancy’. Then the packets of votes are reopened and counted to see who is elected once Muscat is eliminated from the process.)

The MLP is nothing but a victim hijacked of incompetent, mediocre and pettily stupid people (who can’t by any stretch be considered as individuals) and all this at the expense of democracy and people like the assorted George Abela, Michael Falzon and many, many other who are by far more decent individuals with a lot to contribute to Malta.

A leader is also judged by his team and in this Dr. Joseph Muscat has failed miserably and it’s no use about him harping about delegates and statute or appointing CEOs: The truth is that some people need to be fired from their jobs in Marsa and Hamrun and some people just told to disappear from the quagmire they have come out from.

The fact that he doesn’t do so shows us of what sort of attributes he is not endowed with and it’s enough to show us what a poor sort of prime minister he would be for our country.
