The question of divorce should have never gone to a referendum. Rights should not be decided by a majority of the electorate, as rights essentially protect minorities and often a minority of one, an individual.

And this is what happens when minority rights are thrown to the electorate rather than being decided by those we elect: scaremongering and exaggeration.

In reply to Etienne Caruana. Rajtuh kemm hu bravu s-Sur Etienne! Sewwa qal: se nsiru l-Iran tal-Mediterran. Daqqa Kuba tal-Med. Daqqa l-Izvizzera tal-Med. U issa l-Iran tal-Mediterran. Bravu int, Sur Caruana. Bravu hafna anzi.

My thoughts exactly, Daph! Thanks.

I can’t believe how so many people could be so dense. Even were we to take a naive point of view – I can’t fathom how people are hanging onto these ”truths” in this way.

Can’t they possibly whip a more sensible argument out of the ether to push whatever agendas they may have – hoping, at least, that there IS an agenda, because if there isn’t, then it’s even more tal -biki!

Thank you for this. I saw this billboard yesterday and asked my wife to translate and she really struggled to make sense of the text.

Call me cynical, but for me marriage is a great leap in the dark. As we say in Maltese, after all, kaxxa maghluqa.

In reply to JoeM. Malta stands a greater chance of becoming the Iran of the Mediterranean.
