Your leader would be better off planning for the long haul as the next election is not a given. If Muscat is a real leader, then he should be using this election to separate the wheat from the chaff. He needs to put the success of this election on all the party&#039;s shoulders, not his. He&#039;s not Obama.

I hope he has a plan B, grooming serious technocrats for the next election. I&#039;m actually looking forward to wasting time checking both parties&#039; electoral manifestos this time round. I usually ignore Maltese politics as the strategy is usually lost in a lot of noise.

We need &lt;em&gt;two&lt;/em&gt; serious parties. Labour&#039;s current plan seems to be to collect all the loonies at the fringe and invariably lose all those who take things seriously, further undermining the party&#039;s chances.

Labour needs to persuade middle-Malta as to the way forward. And that can only be done by presenting good, workable ideas backed by specialists.

I had written off Gonzi and the PN as the party machinery seemed to be getting all gunked up. Yet he doesn&#039;t seem afraid to use the wakizashi and is &lt;em&gt;seen&lt;/em&gt; to be doing it. By contrast, Muscat should be preparing the hatchet after the coming election.]]></description>

Didn&#039;t you read the words &#039;every day&#039;?

How would you feel if you had a court case and your opponent&#039;s lawyer was Toni Abela and Judge Patrick Vella was presiding, when you saw them together every morning over coffee and pastizzi?

Even if the latter acted fairly in court, the fact remains that being daily in the company of the same lawyer is not right for a magistrate/judge.

As Daphne pointed out in an earlier post, the unfortunate thing is that people are not aware that this behaviour is uncalled for and so they find it strange when others criticise it.]]></description>

Have I been that &quot;silent&quot;?

1. Sorry I didn&#039;t realise it.

2. Sorry didn&#039;t realise my comments would be missed, or at least noticed by their absence - I am honestly amazed anyone would point that out.

3. Even though I am probably one of the first people to start commenting on this site and still visit every day (and comment almost as often), I&#039;m sure one may be pardoned if occasionally there are more pressing concerns in one&#039;s life then following the blog with as much attention as usual.]]></description>
