Now even Evarist Bartolo is embarrassed to be linked to Labour
But not too embarrassed to stand on the party ticket.
This must be the new Labour tactic, worked out by Kurt’s Department of Cunning Plans: get your foot in the door by avoiding all mention of the word ‘Labour’.
Click on Evarist’s new constituency leaflet, and work out what’s wrong with it.
He doesn’t say WHY he wants to come to your house or to ‘wherever is convenient for you’.
He doesn’t say that he’s a politician in search of your vote, and he certainly doesn’t say that he’s standing for election on the Labour ticket.
So, if you had no idea who Evarist Bartolo is, you might think that he’s, say, running an escort agency or massage service, or that he’s going to try and sell you Jesus on behalf of some new sect.

Does he have another email address?
evaristbartolo@evaristbartolo.com
Why bother with your own domain if you then use gmail and hotmail?
And what does he mean by “fejn hu komdu ghalik”? Is any venue acceptable? He’s trying to be modern and progressive.
As Mae West used to say;
“Come up and see me sometime.”
His blue tie gives the cunning plan away.
Mela Evarist, niltaghu l-Istamperja nhar il-gimgha, tajjeb?
Nice one, Troy.
Fejn trid, kif trid u meta trid…just like the icecream ad
I see the future and it is orange.
How much does he charge?
X’jigifieri ‘lest anki nigi id-dar’, like he’s doing us a favour!
‘Lest anke nigi d-dar jew fejn hu komdu GHALIK….’
Kinky t-tifel.
Just like the ads on Maltapark.
“So, if you had no idea who Evarist Bartolo is, you might think that he’s, say, running an escort agency or massage service, or that he’s going to try and sell you Jesus on behalf of some new sect.”
And is there anybody eligible to vote on this island – nay, archipelago – unaware of who Evarist Bartolo is?
[Daphne – Yes, of course. Practically every new voter who wasn’t raised in a fierce Labour household, I would say for a start. At 18 I couldn’t have told you the names or recognised the faces of any members of the Opposition except those who were familiar to me because they lived in Sliema, were known to my parents, or had children I knew. And even with the government, I only knew the ministers and certainly not the backbenchers, except for spurious reasons like having a mother-in-law who lived a few doors away from me, as with Johnny Dalli (tal-Labour). ]
@ Reuben Scicluna: for a fifty year old , I thought I knew quite a lot about Maltese politics and politicians. But it was only after the last elections that I came to know about the private lives and the goings-on of certain politicians, thanks to this Running Commentary mostly.
Up to some months ago I did not know who Manuel Delia was and up to a month ago I thought Hermann Schiavone was out of politics until I had a ‘home visit’ by him.
People, especially young people, will ask simple basic questions, and make simplistic judgments which make us bang our head against a wall:
“What should I do to vote?” , “Do they pay me?”, “I think I will vote for that doctor who cured my fever”, “ Reno seems to be a decent bloke and even “Il-Guy” , “Franco looks intelligent , but a bit ambitious”. “Will I have the €4.66 increase per week in my student stipend?”
We recieved an A4 size flyer with a telephone list of important telephone numbers , from Dr Joseph Sammut.

Like Evarist : no sign of the Party emblem.
You’ve just got to admire them, though.
Even though it’s a done deal, they’re just desperate to get in there.
