The way they did so until Joseph gave Johnnie a ring after seeing him on TV: promise us magiks fil-hin opportun.

You’re referring to the vote on some “campaign against AIDS/HIV” thing, right? Where they mentioned abortion. All five Maltese MEPs voted against it, in typical fashion (Abortion! Oh the horror!).

You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t. When I’m MEP there’ll be no such squeamishness. I’ll make sure I’ll vote in favour of every single law on abortion.

But then again, that means I’ll never be elected in Malta in the first place.

Gonzi is not eternal. Sooner or later he’ll have to step down. Besides, there’s no comparison between him and Busuttil.

I agree with you. They’re beating a retreat just as they did on the living wage proposal.

But now comes the interesting bit. How will they support their claim that they will cut the cost of electricity by half?

So much for the ” progett ta’ Johnnie Dalli”.

[Daphne – It’s not lack of experience that’s the problem. Fenech Adami had no experience in government when he became prime minister in 1987

Neither did Dr Gonzi for that matter.

@H.P. Baxxter

Sorry I disagree with you here.

We don’t need another PM. Dr Gonzi is doing fine (sakemm ma jinqalax xi JPO jew Debono jew Mugliett u jaraw x jaqilghu)

Indeed, Baxxter, but if that line is wrong, do you still tow the line? In my opinion, it is what Dr Busuttil did.
