Voting should be restricted to those who are able to vote as well.

I remember during last election in Valletta, priests bringing people in wheelchairs and even stretchers, asking (if that’s the right word to use) the commissioners to vote PN for these people.

[Daphne – You were privy to the exchange, were you? Or have you just assumed that priests favour the Nationalist Party? I can think of many priests who don’t.]

Some of them couldn’t even indicate their preference. Unless the voter can indicate the preference himself, he’s not eligible o vote, but since they voted PN it was all OK.

And no I didn’t hear this, I saw it with own eyes.

[Daphne – Really? How? More to the point, you forget that most of us on this website vote in Malta, and know that it is impossible for 1. somebody to hang about watching other people vote, and 2. accompanying persons to give electoral commissioners instructions on how to make the ballot sheet for others, unless those others are blind.]

And not even you got the names right I’m afraid!

You must be joking right??? That is NOT Helen Cutajar’s son!!! Get your facts right!!! She has two LOVELY kids and they are Cutajars too. Ma nafx minn fejn tivvintahom Daphne int. You better make a thorough research before spitting out comments and stating things that are not true. Once again, get your facts right Caruana Galizia!

Not really, I think Ray and Jozef are quite right. People with insufficient IQ, should not be allowed to vote.

It has nothing to do with democracy but everything to do with common sense.

If you don’t understand the issues then how can you determine the common good?

[Daphne – Well, I don’t know about that. Alfred Sant has a high IQ, doesn’t he. And I’m quite sure plenty of people with a low IQ voted for EU membership because they worked out that it would be better for Malta, while he couldn’t understand that.]

Voting in general elections shall be restricted to submitting preferences via internet.

Why? I think ray has a point. I’m sick of these people deciding my future according to their baseless irrationality.

Democracy is not a faith based system and yet here they are, happily complying to the myth of Labour and its dogmas. Joseph has simply uncovered its extent by resorting to laziness in thought and spirit reflecting the national malaise, an utter lack of rigour.

Such provocation should at least send them running to their keyboards, hopefully with a valid answer. If rights are, as they say, irreversably achieved, they should also be upheld.

[Daphne – Yes, September last year as I recall.]

It is scary because such people have a vote and they will help dear Joseph become prime minister in less than two years’ time, assisted by those PN votes who say that they will not vote because they want to deal a lesson to Dr. Gonzi and the PN.
