Here’s another rebel and former Labour Prime Minister who is on a par with KMB.

In reply to ciccio2011. Le Ciccio2011, they voted for "il-bidla" in 2008. Veru tal-biza'!

In reply to Reporter.

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.

In reply to George Mifsud. 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.

In reply to Reporter. 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.

In reply to Reporter. 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?

In reply to Reporter.

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?

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.]
