A bandanna should be the least of your worries. Muscat has aligned his views on immigration policy with those of Roberto Maroni, Italy’s ultra right-wing Minister of the Interior and member of the Northern League.

It was done with the constituted bodies and also with AD to get Malta into Europe. Isemmi li din il-koalizjoni ha twassal ghas-success, ha tbiddel il-hajja tal-Maltin. Din diga saret sur Joe, meta dhalna fl-EU.

It’s not just Obama and Mintoff he’s imitating here…this guy is imitating anyone who has ever won an election…this collage promises to be interesting….I’m looking forward to the day he’ll go round Bugibba with a bandana Berlusconi-style

I emigrated to the UK 30 years ago to escape the Mintoff repression. I hope the PN gets its house in order to win the next general election. I suspect that many PN supporters did not vote out of protest.

I heard Anglu Farrugia mentioning the ‘koalizzjoni’ when interviewed at the counting hall.

Call me stupid but I am confused. So is ‘new movement’ and new coalition the same thing? And did all this emerge overnight? Are we going to have details as to who forms this coalition and some kind of terms of agreement?

I still think that Muscat is treating politics like child’s play. L-aqwa li jirbah.

Maybe he can tune in from Berlin to watch the ‘triumphant’ working class with their gold chains and bangles waving up to three or even four freebie EU flags interspersed with MLP flags and cheer up. Always had the feeling that our local socialists were never really a part of mainstream European socialists, but not this much. Did you see those ladies making rude gestures at the énemy’ cameras? I really might vote PL next time after such an invitation to join the coalition.

and you’re accusing pl of “stealing” ad’s votes?

it looks like norman lowell stole them loool

[Daphne – No Nationalist Party leader has ever recorded a victory message before a victory, not just because it is false and presumptuous, but because they tend to be proficient at impromptu delivery in those circumstances.]

Unfortunately this election’s results did not represent the actual purpose of the election (that of electing competent MEPs), but rather people’s anger at the government because of certain decisions which were taken during the past year. I just hope that the Gonzi government learns its lesson and brushes up its act with regards to illegal immigration and deficit, as well as other important national issues such as the public transport reform. Perhaps only then can we rest assured that PL won’t win the general election in four years time.

Ordinary life is too boring. One needs a little melodrama now and then.
