Expectations are different and the world’s context is different. There’ll be little tolerance for bungling incompetence and the failure to address real problems.

Muscat is in for a nasty shock. It’s a shame that it won’t affect him one bit, while his sheep-like followers are the ones who wil suffer most.

Then, if you are accepted into the doctoral rsearch programme, also at a top university, you’ve got to research and write an original thesis – not something produced for you by an East-Berling-Before-The Fall-Of-The-Wall political mentor. Joseph Muscat has a BA in public policy, an MA in European Studies and a PhD in ‘management research’. That does not make him an economist, by any stretch of the imagination.

The comments on that site, as usual, are beyond absurd.

It can re-open the Middle East territorial disputes and endanger Israel.

Maybe Joseph Muscat will find broken pipelines now and he will be able to shift all the blame like his predecessor.
