					<description><![CDATA[He seems to be copying the Italian personalities.  

When they are interviewed they have to give a mention to their mummy, their nanna&#039;s lasagne and tagliatelle and the rest of their families and they love describing themselves as mummy&#039;s children and that they cannot make it without their mummy&#039;s cuddles.  Proud to be Mammoni.  

He&#039;s doing the same.  Behaving like a mummy&#039;s boy.  &quot;Izeffen lil ommu u lil missieru fin-nofs.&quot;]]></description>

No connection with above named. During those times we were struggling in the name of democracy and I was locked out for 7 weeks for obeying my union and left without a salary till Christmas. 

I got a transfer to boot. BUT we came out victorious.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Qiegħed insegwi mill-qrib dak li qed jiġri f&#039;Malta bħal bosta.  

Jiena naraha li din tista&#039; finalment taħdem favur il-PN.  

Dejjem hekk ġara fl-imgħoddi, donnha l-providenza dejjem taf taħseb f&#039;dan.  

L-aġir tar-ribell xegħlet dawk ix-xemgħat inemnmu u m&#039;għandix dubju li min kien qed ikaxkar saqajh biex jivvota jew idawwar il-vot, illum qed jaħsibha sew fiċ-ċirkustanzi tad-dinja kif inhi llum.  

Li kien kollox trankwil, jafu jgawdu tal-PL, imma dawn baqgħu bla sugu u n-nies mhux ċuċ.  

Kif jgħid il-Malti, kull deni ħudu b&#039;ġid, fil-mument tal-prova dejjem rebħet is-sewwa. Nittama li din id-darba tkun l-istess.  

Naf li elezzjoni bikrija mhux daqstant mixtieqa, imma xi drabi, trid taqbad il-barri minn qrunu għax kif ngħidu, l-ftira sħuna tajba.]]></description>

Issa dalwaqt jghid li l-President ghandu jirrezenja.  

Imbaghad jiddikjara lilu nnifsu President.  

Jiddikjara l-gvern illegittimu u b&#039;maggoranza difettuza, ixolji l-Parlament, u isejjah elezzjoni.  

Jahtar lilu nnifsu Kummissarju Elettorali Ewlieni.  

Jiddikjara lilu nnifsu l-uniku kandidat eligibbli ghal-elezzjoni, u wara l-elezzjoni, fejn jivvotaw biss hu u l-familja tieghu, jiddikjara ruhu l-Prim Ministru u Kap tal-Oppozizzjoni fl-istess hin, biex b&#039;hekk jelimina lil Lawrence Gonzi u lil Joseph Muscat b&#039;daqqa ta&#039; gebla wahda.  

Hekk, ghall-ewwel darba fl-istorja tar-Repubblika, ikollna President li huwa ukoll Prim Ministru u Kap tal-Oppozizzjoni, u jiddikjara Stat ta&#039; Oligarkija Debonesca.

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2012/01/franco-debonos-manic-plan/#comment-154635&quot;&gt;amen&lt;/a&gt;.

Only if the new leader has a better school report, presumably. 

Franco should immediately resign from parliament if he wants to show consistency. 

The people of the fifth district elected him to represent them, yes, but only as a Nationalist MP led by Lawrence Gonzi as PM. 

If he thinks he can transform his votes into some personal portfolio he&#039;s utterly wrong. He cannot expect to take those votes elsewhere, and should have the decency to present himself at the PN council this coming Wednesday to explain  himself. 

The fact he wants to avoid it is just the latest in a series of no shows including the ones in &#039;his&#039; district giving vent to all the rumours going around. 

I think I speak on behalf of most of those who gave him their vote that what he&#039;s doing is unacceptable and that our vote remains our prerogative. I refuse to be represented by Franco Debono and will not have my vote used in this manner. 

One last thing, if he thinks he can go to Italy and behave like this he&#039;s way off the mark.

Gianfranco Fini tried a coupe&#039; d&#039;etat within Berlusconi&#039;s PDL, failing miserably to gather support for an internal faction and consigning himself and his thirty followers to the formation of a party consistently in haemhorrage of support. Barely making it past the 4% mark, it has become effectively unelectable to parliament. 

Berlusconi carried on for another 18 months. 

Italians, like the Maltese, including Labour, can&#039;t stomach people who don&#039;t keep their word to the electorate. It&#039;s human nature.]]></description>
