I think that to be an elf or a troll, one first has to reside, or expect to reside, under a party&#039;s metaphoric bridge.

I am simply curious about how this particular constitutional provision works.  

If you don&#039;t want to call the co-option of the extra seats &quot;by-elections&quot;, I have no problem with that. I understood that the result has to be out before the additional seats are determined to be necessary, which is why I called them &quot;by-elections&quot;, not to mislead anyone or to be mistakenly pedantic.

The question I am asking is relatively straightforward. Do Franco&#039;s 2065 first-count votes remain nationalist votes if he crosses the floor?  I feel there is a need for clarification, maybe some former Constitutional judge or lapsed politician could oblige; but you don&#039;t have to take my word for it because I&#039;m neither.]]></description>

Yeah, we could stretch the way democracy works in this country as if it were a rubberband, as long as it suits the Nationalist Party. I can only say it in Maltese: u tghid mhux hekk! 

Apart from the fact that after the last election, as per the constitution, no by-elections were held to elect the extra 4 seats. The electoral system provides that they are elected automatically during the counting of the election proper. 

Please chat your facts or I might think you are PN elves!]]></description>

Thank you sir, but I&#039;m still wondering.  How is the electoral result not relevant to the legislature, if the same situation prevails?]]></description>

I have it on the highest authority that Joseph has been advised by his hair-transplant technicians to get his transplants from Michelle&#039;s pubes.

They claim that the transplant works better if taken from one c_nt to another.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - I debated long and hard (ooooh, vicar) about whether to upload this, but then decided that it would be selfish to keep it to myself.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>
