This (photo-finish etc..) is just part of their grand plan to come out strongly after the election (ivvutawlna hafna iktar milli hsibna) and an attempt to de-stabilise (broad to narrow meaning) the government(Tilef il-fiducja, sejjah elezzjoni etc..).

Muscat’s personal development leaves much to be desired: irrespective of how exceptionally good and talented a person may be, it never makes sense (for obvious reasons) for someone to get to where Muscat is at his age.

Given that this has happened, Muscat would possibly lack the ability to show adequate respect for other people (on the basic premise that he himself may after all be wrong) and their decisions, and to wait for his turn (he never felt the need) and dedicate the time to actually think about leading the country and not about how to get to be in a position to lead the country.

He will continue to lead the Labour Party with this ‘Nescafe’ attitude. Expect the unexpected after this election.
