In reply to Twanny.

Twanny, you should back up your comment with some references to the local situation.

Your first comment would make sense in a country where the average wage is going down and there’s an ever increasing gap between low-income earners and high-income earners.

Give me the numbers as you seem to be well versed in this.

Second para: our currency is now the Euro, I don’t see it being devalued, on the contrary. Can you further elaborate on this as I cannot connect your words with reality?

kKeptocracy: I was worried about that since a couple of elections ago. Gonzi seems to be re-freshing the party… we’ll see…

Corruption: are you per chance comparing Malta with Nigeria? Corruption will always be there. As long as the system as a whole works and brings an improved quality of life for the weakest, then I don’t really care.

Whoa, there!
“we have a little triviality called ‘democracy’ here in Malta…”

No thanks to Labour.

In reply to Dave. You are joking, of course.

Leon is right. Times have changed and standards have fallen. There were judges like Harding, Camilleri Preziosi, the Gulias, the Sciclunas and others who embraced the value of aloofness. There are also serving judges and magistrates who are most worthy of respect.

In reply to Twanny. Daphne, after 25 years of NP in Government, with Malta being still a banana republic, I would not blame the labour party!!!!

Well…. if they are criminally charged and found guilty, they could either be imprisoned or else facing some form of interdiction… Should you know of any, please feel free to contact your party’s electoral office. I’m sure they would do somersaults to disqualify such voters!

Jien qed nibda nahseb li l-parties u l-ikliet qed taghmilhom biex tlaqqa l-partijiet li ghandhom xi kawza quddiema biex jirrangaw bejniethom. Mhux ahjar hekk halli nnaqqsu l-kawzi pendendi li ghandna fil-Qrati taghna. U ma rridux ninsew li l-ikliet huma a spejjez tahgha u mhux mit-taxxi tal-poplu.

Sfortunatament, ma tantx qed jirnexxila ghax il-kawzi xorta qed jiehdu fit-tul. Flus fil-hela.

In reply to Twanny.

Eh, jahasra… It’s pity for people like you, Daphne, that we have a little triviality called ‘democracy’ here in Malta… especially when those who you think are not “of your station” have the same right to vote as you do!

[Daphne – It’s actually the ones ‘of my station’ (as you put it and I don’t) who give most cause for concern, and who have serious problems with democracy and free speech.]

In reply to Twanny. Twanny, you forgot that some 14 years ago Dr Alfred Sant together with Notary Charles (amnesty) Mangion fixed everything in the Law Courts - everything started to work like clockwork from day one. Pity that Sant resigned after two years.
