The shadow justice minister has the same agenda. He raised these same issues time and again. Franco and Herrera are a match made in heaven. You should see how they get along when Parliament is in session.

For example, he had recently called for plea bargaining to be introduced in the higher courts, a proposal which was welcomed by the minister.

Does he ignore the opposition we’re stuck with?

I wonder whether the hurry is to resolve Joseph’s problem before the elections.

It will be extremely interesting to see whether he’ll allow a free vote this time. And what the shadow justice minister has to say.

If FD (or any other disgruntled backbencher) had to form another party and succeed in getting elected, those votes will come straight from PN’s turf.

We are possibly looking at the beginning of a long period of LP in government.

The only reason I think that this scenario won’t take place is that the huge egos and psychological instabiliy of said backbenchers will lead them nowhere in the long run.
