Staying away from the polling booth is stupid because whether you vote or not, five candidates will be elected just the same. If you do not vote you’ll be leaving the choice to others.

In reply to Marku. Easter Peep season is just over. He was probably very busy and needs to rest now.

In reply to Ann De Marco.

I loved the last line of this comment (extracted from http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20090418/local/migrants-on-board-ship-off-lampedusa-take-over-engine-room )

John Betts (1 hour, 25 minutes ago) “…Mr.Portelli: The culture and the identity that has been passed onto us generation after generation was formed by a long, long sequence of immigration processes, with each generation adding its own new elements. The Maltese culture and identity are more at risk from Eurovision and MacDonalds and MTV than immigration.”

What I really want to know is where’s Denis (Catania)? Did his “racial” girlfriend disconnect his internet? He hasn’t posted anything on the Times for ages I think.

Please publish this link to the http://msf.ie/userfiles/File/Not%20criminals%20report%20on%20Malta.pdf

“Report Exposes Appalling Conditions in Maltese Detention Centers”

Both The Times of Malta, as well as TVM have ignored this report as if it doesn’t even exist.
I ask your readers to read this report and ask whether this is really a detention camp or is it in reality a concentration camp in disguise.

Here’s another one of these opinion makers, i love this:

Charles J. Buttigieg (3 hours, 18 minutes ago)
Burden sharing Italian style.

Italy and Malta should stick to their position and the ship’s captain should take them back to Libya where they came from. That’s right, pass on the bug; it’s the only way these people realise that we do not need them here. Our lads go to Libya to make good money what’s wrong with these people staying there?

[Daphne – PASS ON THE BUG! I LOVE IT!]

eric. I don’t care if Labour has a strong team. All I know is that I will not vote for people who were never in favour of us joining the European Union. People like Marlene Mizzi for example. Where was she during the tough times when we had to literally fight for every single vote to get us into Europe? Taking care of her business and lying low? Is she all for Europe now?

The PN do not just have Simon Busuttil. I will tell you whom the PN have. They have candidates whom you can trust and most important of all, getting elected as MEP is not the be-all of their lives. They are professionals for whom life will go on if they do not get elected. Those are the kind of people whom I consider to be ‘strong’.

Why are you always nitpicking on labour daphne ? forget J.cuschieri, are the other ones so bad too ? In my opinion this time round labour has a much stronger team then the PN, come on admit it. If you leave out Simon Busuttil the other PN candidates leave much to be desired.

[Daphne – Please itemise Labour’s strong team.]
