If you read Daphne’s crap, you really have nothing better to do with your life.

I would call her an ‘ intellectual whore’ and not be mealy-mouthed about someone who is ready to sell his/her age-old convictions at the drop of a coin (or rather, a lot of coins).

OK, let’s turn this into something constructive. Give us ten things that you expect Labour to do much better that PN when in government, with at least some evidence that the PL leader has what it takes to make those changes.

For example –

1) Better roads – Joseph Muscat will improve our roads by investing an additional EUR100 million over five years, and requiring that each project be completed in not more than three months, with the majority of works being carried out at night to avoid traffic delays. Joseph muscat can do this because he has the managerial traits that he has shown in XYZ.

You cannot just hope that Labour will be a better government. You need to be pretty sure if you are going to trust your country in its hands. I for one am still not convinced.

I really can’t understand why anyone who tries to make a point and to stick to his/her guns is labelled arrogant. I have a feeling that we have lost the true meaning of arrogance. Arrogance is, for example, when you are invited to a state event and don’t turn up so that you can do something irrelevant instead. Arrogance is when you believe you are something you are not. You are arrogant when you think you are the prime minister when you are still in opposition. You are arrogant when you do not listen to what the other person is saying – trying to keep an open mind – and just continue an argument until the other person gives up. Arrogance is when you give public land to your party and not give two hoots about the rest of the population. Arrogance is when you try to rewrite history and rubbish the facts. An arrogant government is one which does not allow newspapers to use the words ‘nation’ or ‘Malta’ on their masthead. This is not to say that there are no elements within the PN and the government that are arrogant; on the contrary, there are a few and the party and the government must rethink some of its policies. Failure to respond shows incompetence or arrogance.

To prove your point, Daphne, if you have a look at the ‘protocol’ for state events you will find that the the Leader of the Catholic Church in Malta i.e. the Archbishop has priority over the Leader of the Opposition.

[Daphne – I don’t have to prove my point. The general deficiency in civic education, and its results, are not my personal problem. It’s a shame, though, that so many people, the leader of the opposition included, can’t distinguish between the representatives of the state, parliament and yes, the Catholic Church and the representatives of political parties.]

What an idiot!

tajba lipp…

And this is the problem – where are Muscat’s policies on the economy, environment and all that is falling apart on these islands? Can we trust someone who asks for a blank cheque?

Donnhom mahruqin tal-Lejber….. min jaf ghaliex? Nofshom jifirhu li ghandhom lil Marisa, u n-nofs l-iehor ihokku mohhhom jahsbu jekk Joseph tilifx rasu! Kompli aqlalhom, Daphne. Kliemek jinzilli ghasel meta nara cwiec bhal dawn.

I agree 100% with Daphne about LP leaders putting their personal ambition first. What I disagree with you is that LP is targeting those with vulnerable egos. You surely cannot say that about Manwel Mallia.

[Daphne – I surely can. Manwel Mallia is a grotesque toad-like man in his 60s who has just produced twins with a very young and very attractive woman from one of the more economically unfortunate parts of Europe. No doubt he has convinced himself that she is with him for his personality.]
