@ Albert Farrugia

Not so simple mathematics, Albert.

Twisted, over-simplistic illusion, yes.

You conveniently ignored the fact that the NP still managed 1500+/- more votes than the LP.

You also conveniently forgot to mention that in 1981 the NP had an absolute majority of votes, yet the LP clung to power!

Mathematics can be simple if calculated the right way, Albert Farrugia.

Funny how you conclude that Joseph Muscat, Karmenu Vella, Alex Sciberras Trigona, Anglu Farrugia, Jose Herrera, et al are a better alternative.

Exactly what is they are going to do when elected?

Joseph Muscat doesn’t listen to Marisa Micallef in particular. In the immortal words of the party’s communications coconut head, she’s just an ordinary employee like everyone else.

mmmm….

The Prime Minister does not have a majority of MPs supporting him in Parliament. This is the simple truth.

The same things were said, by Labour supporters, in 1998, about Dom Mintoff. That he is zmagat, mad, full of hatred, past his use-by date.

But this was (and also is in the present case) totally irrelevant. The Prime Minister, supported by only 49% of the electorate as per last general election, is supported by only 49% of MPs, while 51% of MPs are against him. Simple mathematics.

Yes, it’s a nut running loose.

Franco’s problem is, he is no longer wanted at the NP and much less so at the LP. Even AD declared that now is not the time for these antics and for calling an early election.

So, if Franco wants to be the leader of a political party, he had better start recruiting and form the Malta Pea(nut) Party of which he would claim to be the founding father, thus lifelong leader.

He will forever be his classmate’s (Joseph) second fiddle and that is the problem created not by Joseph or Lawrence. He created it for himself. Justice will be done even if he never made it as Justice Minister.

How funny that the schoolboy in him manisfested itself even here, sucking up to the teacher, doing his best to be the teacher’s pet, in the hope of getting something in return.

Now that he was not made minister, and never will be, what is the best way to make a name (albeit a notorious one) for himself?

Simple, bringing down the government, and even going one better than the “great” Mintoff.

That should then do it.

His name is will be etched in Malta’s history, and Franco might at last be happy, and can then move on to Italy having achieved some kind of closure.

I am sure he will be happy there, where everything is moving so swimmingly.

Idiot.
