Gozo, the real party of change is the PN which has renewed itself more than once since 1987.

In spite of protestations to the contrary, Labour is still anchored to the Golden Years of forty years ago. In this aspect they have actually regressed from the so-called New Labour of Sant.

I wish people would stop bringing up this whole divorce and conservative argument as a valid reason to have an inexperienced as opposed to an experienced one.

The reality is that Muscat with all his supposedly liberal views was not the one to introduce divorce in Malta nor was he the one to put in on parliament’s agenda, this despite all his posturing and empty words.

He or his party have not even managed to bring forward one valid proposal which could make anyone with a modicum of intelligence even consider him to be an alternative to Gonzi, let alone the better option.

All he has managed to do over these last three years is give me the impression that he is only after one thing, the position of prime minister, before he reaches the age of 40.

Bravo bravissimo, bravo bravissimo
Bravo, bravo, very well done!

It is zeblih indeed!

Daphne, like myself, I never experienced a labour government. I think sant was hopeless, however I do think Joseph Muscat is a better alternative to Gonzi. Let’s face it, after so many years, I think the country needs a change… Even the PN, it needs to do some soul searching in opposition and get rid of this ultra conservative thinking. The PN lost its liberal wing…. With its stance against divorce it got even weaker.

Anyway, goodnight.

[Daphne – Define conservative, Gozo. Too many people think it’s about religion and sex. It’s also about economics.]

That’s it! I knew it was a vulgar expression, but I used the wrong one.

Maltese is so expressive at its most vulgar.

The pure Maltese expression would probably be “titnejjek bihom” or “titmellah bihom”.

Dim-witted though they are, they realise this, hence their frustrated, repetitive. semi-literate insults.

According to an old Kalepin I have, scorn in Maltese is “zeblih” or “tmeghir.”
