Riff Raff,

Franco&#039;s spiel was that sprightly internal dialectic improved the party&#039;s following in Labour held districts. 

Nobody expected Franco would start believing he&#039;s the party. One of his tactless moves was when he kept sending PQ&#039;s by post to every household in Zurrieq to show how he was keeping up the pressure on a number of projects. 

Problem is, he started to subscribe to Labour&#039;s mentality and ignored their obstructive agenda, taking on their lies as legitimate arguments. 

He also made it a point not to listen to his constituents regarding his methods. Basically confusing politics with his defence tactics used in court, his ideas became the client to absolve at all costs.]]></description>

Perhaps you do not appreciate the gravity of the situation, Antoine.  

This is not about being slightly megalomaniac or over-ambitious. 

I have been following Maltese politics for a while and of all the hundreds of candidates and MPs, I can only recall one whose behaviour matches that of Debono - Dom Mintoff.

Being a successful lawyer does not figure in this.  And it&#039;s not a case of errant behavior after an accidental bump on the head a couple of years ago or so either.  The signs were there long before that.]]></description>
