Let’s be realistic.

I tried to get involved with the Nationalist Party but they gave me the cold shoulder. I can see why, because I’m not the blue-skies “kemm hawn opportunitajiet ghaz-zaghzagh taghna” type. Like the eternal Don Quixote that I am, I still hold out hope that I could join their team, and steer it in the right direction.

So the last thing I should do is set up my own party and burn all my bridges. If there were a real chance of being elected, then yes, I’d set up my own party in a heartbeat.

A man’s got to live. That’s the bottom line. Income. Primum vivere, deinde philosophari.

If he has nothing to hide he can continue on to Benghazi.

Wonder which was the real mission of this tuna boat.

Replace them with your own party.

We have the option of selecting individuals – one of the advantages of our system, instead of a whole party. You can opt to give your vote to someone who you think CAN work in a team in the way you think represents you most.

But if there is not much to choose from in the first place, you’re still limited, I admit!

He has to explain in detail what is happening in Tripoli. Whilst we are at it, we should ask him the actual Libyan policy on Maltese oil exploration.

Was Sebastian present when Johnny was signing?
