It might WIN the referendum (in terms of the NO side winning) but that is no VICTORY.

Whether the referendum goes NO or YES, this can only be a loss for the government and a loss for the Catholic Church. Both have handled this issue extremely badly.

PEOPLE WHO WANT TO LEAVE THEIR WIFE OR HUSBAND ALIKE CAN ALWAYS DO SO AND CHILDREN HAVE THE SAME SUFFERING.

WELL THIS IS NOTHING BUT TRYING TO SET ASIDE MORE IMPORTANT ISSUES LIKE AIR MALTA , ENEMALTA AND ALL THATS GOING DOWN THE DRAIN. THANKS TO WHO?

Period.

X’inhi l-opinjoni pubblika? Dak li tghid it-Times? Nahseb l-opinjoni pubblika – jekk tezisti – hi dak li jitnizzel fuq il-karti tal-vot.

And I completely agree with you as this is exactly my thinking.

Should the No vote triumph, the Nationalist Party won’t have my vote come 2013. I may even do what was unthinkable up to a few weeks ago, and vote Labour. The Nationalist Party has become absolutely disgusting.

Principles are principles.

Int qed tbassar bhali u qed tbassar sewwa u ma tridx tkun xi Nostradamus biex tifhem x’se jigri: ir-referendum mhux se jghaddi ghax il-Maltin ghadhom jemmnu fil-qawwa tat-talb u fil-Kelma t’Alla, u l-Maltin ihossu li n-Nazzjonalisti ghamluh zmienhom wara 25 sena fil-gvern ghalkemm jien lil PN se nerga’ naghtih ghax naqbel ma’ Fr Peter Seeracino Inglott (Bondiplus, 16/05/2011) li ”l-parit Laburista huwa partit bla karattru”.

I can’t bear seeing his face in any photo.
