La Redoute, hekk hija ir-Rieda tal-Leader.

Nice of you to deny people their civil right just because you don’t like JPO.

I read the situation as follows: Maltese people are too far up themselves to know what’s happening in the world around them – so why should they be trusted with a pencil and ballot sheet?

This mess must be the best scenario the PN may have wanted.

As a Christian party, they can hardly go to an election in 2013 proposing that they will introduce divorce in Malta, and if they say the opposite, this would be equally bad with the liberal voters within the party.

But they cannot leave the initiative to Joseph Muscat who said already that at the next general elections he will promise to bring a private members bill on divorce as PM – this would attract the liberal vote Labour’s way.

At the same time, the PN does not have a mandate to introduce divorce through parliament in the current legislature.

So the best way out is for the people to decide this matter now. If the electorate votes yes, the PN will pass a law, which will surely be conservative, thereby pleasing the liberals and the conservatives, and the matter will be closed now, leaving 2 clear years to the elections – and JPO sitting quietly on his seat.

If the people vote no, then, there will be no law. Since it was Joseph Muscat who called for a referendum, no one can blame the PN for having wasted the people’s time and money on a referendum. And with Joseph Muscat defeated in a referendum that he called, possibly also with his own long-winded question, the PM could even consider an election in June.

They are arguing about everything except divorce.

Let me see if I’ve understood correctly. Hundreds are being shot in Libya, hundreds were killed in Egypt, trouble in Jordan, the Yemen, Tunisia … u l-Madonna mohha fid-divorzju f’Malta, mhux fid-dizastru li hawn fil-pajjizi Arab bhalissa. She seems to have her priorities in a twist.

Do you want the recipe?

Adrian, no one is taking this guy seriously except you. That says a lot.

Jien ma ktibtx “jekk jivvota favur id-divorzju” , ktibt “ jekk jivvota kontra biex iwaqqa l-gvern”.

Gonzi mhux se jpoggi ruhu f’rokna, kif kien ghamel Sant ma’ Mintoff: “Jekk ma jghaddix dan il-vot nirrizenja”. Mintoff kien ivvota kontra il-progett tal-Birgu, imma kontra il-percezzjoni ta’ hafna ma kienx hu li kien waqqa l-gvern ta’ Sant.

Biex inkunu ghidna kollox, nahseb Sant kien ghamel li kellu jaghmel. Ma tistax tiggverna tajjeb meta jkollok wiehed il-hin kollu jaqlghalek il-problemi bla bzonn minn gewwa.
Nahseb li Jeffrey issa qieghed f’postu :”cut down to size”.

Li nkun jien flok l-ezekuttiv tal-PN nghidlu “ohra u barra” u jaghmel liz-zeta jrid.

U jekk ghandu xi haga pending ma tal-MEPA ghandha tinqata darba ghal dejjem, tajjeb jew hazin.

In-Nazzjonalisti ta’ H’attard zgur li ma tellghuhx biex imexxi l-agenda tieghu u tal-PL qabel il-programm elettorali tal-Partit Nazzjonalista.
