So, is Karmenu Vella ready or isn’t he?
Karmenu's working as hard as he can
A couple of days ago, L-Orizzont reported that former Chief Elve and current Labour tink-tenk chief Aaron Farrugia (a type of pseudo-economist) is to be appointed ‘segretarju ghall-manifest elettorali’.
That’s it: secretary for the electoral manifesto.
Karmenu Vella had it almost all sewn up, the GWU newspaper told us.
But L-Ekonomista Aaron, gradwat fl-Unjoni Ewropea, was being brought in to help sew up the rest.
Then yesterday we heard from Toni Abela that the Labour Party is “prepared to present its electoral programme to the people at any time if a general election is called immediately”.
What, with a half-assed electoral manifesto that hasn’t even been written yet?
Labour is due to hold its annual general conference over the last part of this week, starting on Thursday. Toni Abela said that if a general election is announced before then, the party will snap into action and approve its programme and candidates instead.
What programme? Can Elve Aaron really work faster on this than he worked in Sant’s grotto, churning out fake letters to the correspondence columns of The Times (“I am a housewife living in Sliema and I will not vote for the PN because of corruption”).
Last time round, they had all the time in the world and a published author as a party leader, and the manifesto was a farce, full of mistakes and proposals for things that had been done already.
Let’s see what Karmenu and Aaron are going to give us between them.

Considering recent Labour experiences, where even the Leaders cannot spell words correctly or produce an authentic article, there is a big chance that the Labour electoral manifesto will be infested with misprints and plagiarised text.
But didn’t Joseph promise a roadmap instead? That makes Perit Karmenu Vella’s appointment more sensible. I am expecting something like this from him.

Hollow minds plus hollow ideas equals a hollow manifesto.
Reminds me of the film, ‘The Candidate’. Manipulated by his ‘handlers’, he wins the election. Last line? ‘whadda do I do now?
Sound familiar?
Have they repaired their leptops? Min jaf kemm gejjin misprints.
Why is Joseph Muscat afraid to call a motion of no confidence in the PN government?
Why is he telling the Prime Minister to bring a motion of confidence in his government, when the Prime Minister himself says it is not good for the country’s economy and stability at this time?
Is he afraid to take the reins of the country right now, because he is immature and insecure and not ready to lead the country with his old age cronies?
The PL leader and people of sound mind know that there is no one better to lead the country through these hard times than Gonzi, as he has done so far.

Counting chickens, as usual.
He can’t even qualify as a pseudo-economist, Daphne, because his first degree is in banking and finance.
His MA is in something called ‘European economics, law and politics’.
What, does he really claim to be an economist?
[Daphne – Yes. And his party makes the same claim on his behalf.]
