They oppose because they think that that is what being in opposition means. They don’t realise that being in opposition means that their role is to be the check and balance of the government ensuring that what has been voted for by the electorate is actually done.

Malta’s foreign policy needs some touching up to be consonant with the times. About bloody time too.

George Vella thinks that all Maltese citizens hail from ‘ir-rahal t’isfel’.

They were against the Delimara power station, against the sale of Mid Med bank, against the local councils, against the EU, against the euro, against education, against freedom of speech, against freedom of choice, against liberalization of the economy, against the rehabilitation of Valletta, against the Partnership for Peace…..

You get my drift. Gradually the Labour party made U turn after U turn. They deliberately take a vicious stand on anything that the PN proposes and when the public rejects them, then they embrace the PN proposals.

For the next election the Labor Party needs to raise lots of cash, now their Libyan buddy is dead. With the dockyard’s rank and file is not in play and the economy is improving the Labour party has a monumental task to overcome.

Labour may win the next election but they have to government like the PN. There is no other choice.
