Who did Toni Abela vote for, apart from himself?
[Daphne – He had set up AD at the time, remember.]
Yes, I know. But there were hardly enough of them to fill a ballot sheet. Wenzu Mintoff doesn’t really count. Wasn’t he already an MP when he switched to AD?
[Daphne – Yes.]
Oh, and I imagine Sceberras Trigona (future minister for foreign affairs and special relations with Libya?) also voted for KMB in 1992, as did Joe Debono Grech (future minister without portfolio?), Marie Louise Coleiro (future minister for social affairs?), and Evarist Bartolo (future minister for education?).
And they all voted to make Alfred Sant Prime Minister in 1996, 1998, 2003 and 2008.
Maaa, x’biza.
And voted No2EU, er, sorry, Partnership l-Ahjar Ghazla taghna l-Maltin.
Le Ciccio2011, they voted for “il-bidla” in 2008. Veru tal-biza’!
1992 was Joseph’s first time.
I love the photo of Anglu Farrugia – couldn’t stop laughing.
Hey thinker,
I couldn’t either. The guy looks like a bum who needs a bra and a corset. On second thoughts, he needs a general makeover.
That photo was taken ‘in front of famous sacred mosque’ (sic). He’s seen sense and removed that collection of photos from his website, only he hasn’t realised they’re all over the internet anyway.
Of course Karmenu Vella voted to make KMB PM in 1992. He had served as minister under iz-zero.
Now he writes our future, under Joseph.
And Joseph’s nanna used to adore Mintoff.
It’s like the Addams Family.
It would be quite fitting if next election is held on Halloween day.
Brilliant!
“Just because you are in opposition, doesn’t mean you should oppose British interests,” says the prime minister. He says the Labour leader should have the courage to state whether he would have backed the treaty or not. For once our parliament seems to be doing better than the British one…or am I missing something?
Toni Abela and Wenzu Mintoff had resigned from the MLP because they could not tolerate the corruption of the MLP (their words) and formed AD.
Now they are back and with them most of the same people who formed the MLP then.
Strange how these two gentlemen accept to be rubbing shoulders with the same people who they had called corrupt two decades ago.
Wasn’t one of them kicked out of the MLP?
gentlemen?
I think Joseph Muscat wasn’t even 18 in 1992. (He was born in 1974 … so he surely didn’t make it in the electoral register of that election).
Also, I think Knotty Zammit was in Germany at the time.
Are you sure REALLY sure Ed Scicluna voted Labour in 1992?! I think he was fooling around at the time…
[Daphne – Joseph Muscat was born in January 1974. So yes, he was 18 when the 1992 general election rolled round. Anthony Zammit would have flown back to vote, and Edward Scicluna definitely voted Labour because, as he famously said, he always sides with the underdog.]
Beg to differ.
The electoral register for the 1992 election closed in September 1991. He wasn’t 18 in September 1991. So he did not vote.
With regard to the other two, they give me the impression of being two slimey creatures.
Don’t you remember Ed Scicluna quarrelling publicly with Sant on the HSBC privatisation?
It is very interesting that Edward Scicluna said that he sides with the underdog (I know he said it). Why is he not siding with the PN for the next elections?
Anthony Zammit was already in Malta and a consultant (became a consultant in 1986) and I have the impression that at that time he was not so Labour leaning.
I distinctly remember Edward Scicluna showing blue and red graphs on television to show that the MLP was ahead of the PN.
What I don’t remember, on the other hand, is whether this was in 1992 or 1996.
However, given that I had voted for the first time in 1996 and given that I do not recall watching TV at home on that fateful Sunday 27th October, 1996, but rather I was at some friends’, I’m almost certain that it was in 1992 so he MUST have been round at the time.
Still Daphne, you really hit the nail on the head. It’s incredible that people voted KMB at all, let alone these people who should know better.
Here’s another rebel and former Labour Prime Minister who is on a par with KMB.
