Not a place which fits people from the engineering field it seems, Chris.

I’m joking.

I like people who had hands-on experience in business, especially if they started their own business from scratch, or worked in a big organization.

Gonzi was in a big private enterprise, Austin ran a political party, Louis Galea , Eddie, I have to say I used to like Dalli he is a self made person, Lino Spiteri, Arrigo and Karmenu Vella.

People like Franco tend to give too much importance to their work; only yesterday on Bla Agenda Franco was telling a flabbergasted Norman Hamilton (who runs his business)that his changes were even more important than Malta’s economy and the employment situation.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What you state to be Franco Debono&#039;s reasoning is in fact shared by many former local and foreign leaders. The latest example is italy where the then Prime Minister offered his resignation when he no longer had the support of the majority of MP&#039;s. If I recall correctly a similar situation happened in the UK at th end of  Mrs Thatcher&#039;s premiership.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Oh hello, David the humourless pedant. Getting it wrong as usual.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

Wrote?  Franco Debono probably still believes in Father Christmas, seeing that he&#039;s still parading his Form II school report.

					<description><![CDATA[Hallina Daph, trid? 

It&#039;s got nothing to do with gender, this is a purely psychological problem the PN has to deal with here. 

Let&#039;s face it: mummy&#039;s boy/Jesuit-educated/lawyer - it was always going to be odds-on that something like this would happen and sure enough, it did. 

This top-heavy lawyer representation in parliament has resulted in a government distant from what Joe Citizen is feeling.  

We need more doctors, nurses, accountants, shopkeepers, caterers, housewives, farmers, fishermen, soldiers, architects and entrepreneurs in parliament.]]></description>
