I don’t think it is by mistake that Alfred Sant’s 20 months at the helm is being ‘forgotten’. It is starting to seem like a concerted effort to erase that period from people’s memory while at the same time bringing back the nostalgia of the Golden Years.

And that is specifically the Mintoff Golden Years as KMB is also being gradually erased from history (not that anyone will miss him).

Read and digest.

I have read this novel about 30 years ago and I have kept the excrepts below in my mind. At a moment like today I re-assert my belief how true they are especially in Malta

“The common man has held the voting power, and the common man has voted consistently to increase his own standard of living, regardless of the long term interests of his children, regardless of the long term interests of his country . . . . No despot, no autocratic monarch in his pride and greed has injured England so much as the common man”.

Background for Voters:
The kinds of leaders running for office are important but so are the kinds of voters casting ballots. A person’s life experiences may affect how they vote. In a 1953 novel, In the Wet, British-born Australian Nevil Shute imagined a world in which some individuals would have seven-times the voting power of a basic voter. Shute proposed that each adult would have ONE basic vote. Then, for EACH one of the following life experiences that a voter had, the voter could cast an EXTRA vote:

• Higher Education
• Working Overseas (2+ years)
• Raising a Child
• Personal Achievement (Science/Business/Art/etc.)
• Peace Worker /Nun/Monk
• Decoration for Valor or Sacrifice

This is what happens when the Sales Department starts sending its staff to sit on the Board of Directors.

Silvio Parnis, by his own admission, is the creation of Alfred Sant’s driver (see his (in)famous interview on Smash, in which he also revealed that Joseph Muscat “il-hin kollu jivvinta”).

Already creating a “politician” on a driver’s hunch is sheer madness – but then promising him the Ministry for the South is even more than madness. It’s criminal.

Gotta love his crazy impromptu completely nonsensical speech:

Ahna l-partit tal-haddiem…. shit, le zomm… ahna l-partit tal- mittil klas… haqq le… ahna l-partit tas-sinjur ukoll haq anna.

Ejja, ghaddiet.
