Austin Gatt does not play for popularity. He plays for what is right.

Franco Debono not courageous?! Then I am sorry as I have underestimated the ‘intelligence’ of your judgemental skills. You are clearly a die-hard nationalist blinded by your devotion, thus it is impossible for you to see the true picture. However, It shouldn’t be that way. Don’t be so convinced of the rightness of your views that you refuse to see any merit in another position.

[Daphne – Oh, I thought it was supposed to be Franco who is the diehard Nationalist. He’s been working in the party since he was at least four years old, has suffered greatly, unseated Louis Galea (and Helen Damato) and is a member of parliament on the PN ticket. Whereas I….write for a newspaper.]

As for the survey results in yesterday’s The Sunday Times, do you honestly believe it includes people planning to vote labour? That doesn’t even make any sense, people in favour of the Labour party obviously want an election! This is even stated in the blog which “gets a 100% by Miss Daphne” ; “the only ones left admiring you now are either megalomaniacs who assimilate themselves to you, or those who want Labour in power at any cost”.

[Daphne – No, Brina, people who vote Labour don’t necessarily want an election. Not all of them are markedly slow. When you meet one, ask him to explain why. Surveys do not lie, my dear.]

The Nationalist party is just way too proud and power hungry to call an election. However, since Gonzi PN declares his interests to be of benefit to this country, then why not call an election and let the Maltese population decide for itself who it wants to be governing. These are definitely not the democratic values it claims to posses.

[Daphne – Possibly because most people don’t want an election, Brina, because it is in people’s natures not to have their plans and expectations disrupted. People do not like to be taken by surprise and the date they were counting on is only a year away.]

Well said Anthony, couldn’t have said it better myself! Miss Daphne is just trying to ridicule Mr. Franco Debono in order to aid Gonzi PN, she thinks. However, the more I read her sad attempts to mock Mr. Franco Debono, the more I am convinced of what I already believe.

Mark claims that “It’s the MP with an unsound mind who should vacate his seat, not the democratically elected Prime Minister.” An unsound mind? Mark seems to declare that a person who has the guts to stand up to the “democratically elected Prime Minister” and protests for what he truly believes is in the best interest of the Maltese population, is insane.

Therefore, a sane person is one who keeps his mouth shut and let everyone get away with everything? A wuss is what constitutes a sane person? I tend to think otherwise. This man is courageous. And courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.

[Daphne – He’s not courageous. He’s a mad prick. 100.000 people plus elected the prime minister, and one jerk decides he should go or else. That’s your definition of democracy. If democracy, to Franco, is the will of the people, then he should look at the survey results in yesterday’s The Sunday Times. The majority of people don’t want the prime minister to resign or an election to be called, and that includes people planning to vote Labour.]

Just imagine all the money and heartache the country would save if we were to stop general elections and simply elect the cabinet by means of high school reports.

That’s democracy at it’s best. Well done, Franco.

Mark, you as a PN councillor have declalred that you know about the mess of public transport, illegal borehole, illegal buildings you stated that you thought that his was constructive critism, and yet knowing all this you remain quiet.

All you care is to brand a person insane without having the necessary qualifications to do so.

If you really believe in your statements one expects you to do something about it, apart from getting 100% from Daphne for sticking out your tongue.

Personally I am sick of this government and to all who kow tow before him.

I admire that Mr Debono made a stand for something he believed in. What is wong with knowing who finances the Nationalists? There must be a long list of contractors and entrepreneurs who do not give a toss about their employees and are capitalists par excellence.

The €85 million hideous rape of Valletta.

The other millions spent on the rape of the environment around Hagar Qim. Malta must be the ugliest country in Europe and what do we do, we try and blame in on one person.

Incidentally did the Nationalists ever really win an election? Or was it handed to them on a plate by Mintoff and his sucessor Sant.
