With all due respect, this comment is unfair on Simon.

Simon was never interested in getting involved in politics in the very first place, but only did so to serve the Nationalist Party.

Whether he chooses or not to contest the coming election is still to be seen.

In reply to No Problem. Brilliant arguments by lawyers make brilliant lawyers, not great leaders.

In reply to gianni.

With all due the respect, that would not be fair.

He was offered the post of Secretary-General – and preferred the salary in Brussels.

He was asked to contest the 2012-2013 elections, it so seems, but yet again, he prefers not to join what he seems to consider a losing brigade.

Yet, then he would expect to run for leadership after that?

If he truly loves the Nationalist Party, he should be at the forefront now, not waiting for a defeat.

Evarist Bartolo wishes certain ‘slogans’ were swept away. Isn’t that what Alfred Sant tried to do?

Varist is a rude, horrible man with not a chip on his shoulder but a boulder.

This clip restored my faith in the Mother Rock.

I was beginning to think it was all about Renato and Mary Rose Mallia, because that’s all we ever see from Malta in Mississauga, Ontario.

SImon Busuttil is what we would call a lawyer’s lawyer. I may not always agree with him, but he is what the rest of us aspire to be. Please clone him as fast as you can. If nothing else, to drown out the noise from DR II-C.

In reply to P Shaw. And that high-pitched voice trying to interrupt with some faux Tim Sebastian riposte is quite irritating.
