Thinking about it I think you’re right!

Pass Lura means only one step back. Not even Passtejn Lura would be enough! Progress Lura is maybe better – its on a continuum, backwards, but a unidirectional continuum that does not restrict scale!

Thanks for pointing it out.

A pansy and a prat …………..

Mr Debono. Make that ‘horde’ not ‘hoard’, although your horde would hoard whatever they could receive without working for it.

Steve, your point is well taken. However, you mention ‘political honesty’, That reminds me of a quote I read last week in The New York Times. “An honest politician is one who when he’s bought will stay bought”. Simon Cameron, 1799-1859. It appears that the past still has a message for the future.

Mr Debono, I doubt whether he will need any help to expose his inability to lead the nation, never mind the ‘red hoard’.

Nimmagina diga’ beda bil-poppy fil-pavru.

Is the Labour Party’s policy review complete? I doubt it. So let’s all sit back, take a deep breath and wait and see. All Muscat has to do is do what Blair did in the UK. Have a sound pro business economic policy that will re-assure the middle class/business community that he is not going to stifle opportunity while reaching out to the party base by policy initiatives aimed at helping the most vulnerable and those who have been left behind in the boom years.

The key constituency is the new middle class – who are increasingly secular (the church alumni society) who are going to want to be reassured that he won’t touch their wallets and will also carry out progressive reforms that the PN would not touch with a barge pole – reform of the marriage laws being the most obvious.

At the end of the day if Muscat has to sound and act like a more socially progressive form of the PN to be elected – that is the best evidence that the country has moved beyond the immediate post colonial era with all the strife that brought. Nothing to fear, all very reassuring.

You are wrong on almost every point. But I suppose listing gives you a buzz and makes them real to you.

Go figure.

Our nation can never be considered ‘modern’ if we are stuck in the past. Our nation need new ideas of leadership new progressive policies and a stop to all kinds of abuses and corrupton at tax payers’ expense.We need political honesty and accountability.It seems that political responsability doesn’t apply to the present administration.

Are we not living a most shameful present that we should all condemn?
