    Do we get an extra national holiday on 6 January every year from now on, to celebrate Oligarchy Day?

    So now he has conspiracy theories about a “xibka ta’ evil”.

    Okay.

    Sheer unadulterated paranoia on a grand scale.

    “But Debono noted that he had been responsible for the eventual policy change. “The people have me to thank, seeing how I had to go through all that I passed from,” the backbencher said of the vicissitudes leading up to the cabinet reshuffle.” – MaltaToday.

    Kemm baghta, miskin.

    Ahseb u ara kemm se jbaghti meta jara lil Joseph Muscat, gurnalista tas-Super One, Prim Ministru, waqt li hu, avukat prim (!), jispicca jezilja ruhu lejn l-Italja.
    Inkella jispicca jikteb il-hajku.

    He’s close to tears in that interview. Scary stuff.

    The poor child seems to be at the end of his tether.

    Mama, your boy needs urgent medical care. Why don’t you sign him in for a vacation in a nice, comfy rubber room, and tell him it’s a bouncy castle for mummy’s little prince, and that it’s a lot bigger than Joseph Muscat’s?

    Hawn intqal li hawn oligarkija. Jista jghidilna Dr. Debono ghaliex hu konvint li hawn oligarkija?

    Fuq kollox kif qal hu il Prim Ministru sema minnu (forsi ftit tard).

    Jista jghidilna hu mill liema tbatija ghadda? Jista jilluminana liema hi din ix-xibka ta’ hazen?

    Jiena nemmen wkoll li hawn ferm aktar affarijiet li hemm bzonn jinbidlu. Imma kif jghid il-Malti ‘id-dinja ma saritx f’ daqqa’.

    U ghalhekk kull tibdil jiehu certa zmien u ghandu certa spiza (finanzjarja, risorsu umani, etc). Kull persuna tixtieq utopia fil qasam taghha (anke jiena), imma hawn diversi rejaltajiet tal-hajja illi wiehed irid jaffaccja.

    Jista jghid ghaliex certa affarijiet u jaghti ragunijiet ghaliex certa oqsma huma aktar importanti minn ohrajn sabiex isir it-tibdil fihom qabel?

    Jiena konvint li hemm diversi Rappresentati tal-poplu f’ isem il-PN li jemmnu li ghandhom isiru diversi tibdiliet orhajn. Jiena nemmen li hawn bzonn isiru, imma jiena hawn nistaqsi ghaliex ghandhom isiru dawk li illuminana bihom (jew jahseb li illuminana bihom) Franco qabel l-ohrajn? U hawn hafna affarijiet ohra li nixtieq insemmi.

    Hawn haga ohra li nixtieq nghid, li meta kont go organizzajjoni u kont elett u ma bqajtx naqbel, imma il-maggoranga eletta fi hdan dik l-organizzajjoni kienet kontrijja jiena irrizenjajt u gie elett minfloki haddiehor (min kien imissu).

    Mela ghaliex Franco ma jaghmilx hekk? Jirrizenja, u jaghmel l-argumenti tieghu minn barra. U imbghad meta tasal elezzjoni ohra il-poplu jiggudika hux hu jew min hu fit-tmexxija diretta kellu ragun.

    Jiena meta irrizenjat giet laqgha generali ohra, ikontestajt u ergajt get elett u dan nahseb li kien vot li wera li jiena kelli ragun fl’ argumentar tieghi.

    Hu lest li jaghmilha din? Stajt ma gejtx ri elett u kont nghid li jiena ma kontx qed inhoss dak li jixtiequ il-membri u kont naccettaha.

    Imma qatt ma hadta u hafna nies ohrajn bhali qatt ma haduha kontra l-organizzajjni (kif inhuma hafna rappresentanti tal-poplu fil-parlament) u ipprovaw jisfaxxawha.

    Min verament jirraprezenta xi haga b’ imhabba ikun lest li jcedi hu, jbaghiti u jahdem sabiex l-organizajjoni jirrangaha u jibdilha imma mhux jipprova jkissirha.

    Jekk xi hadd ihobb tim tal futboll imma ma jqbilx mal-maiinistrazzjoni mhux iwaqqfu mill premier ghal-first division imma jibqa jahdem sabiex izommu fil-premier u fl istess hin jirbah aktar fiducja.

    Fuq kollox vera gie elett f isem il-poplu tal-hames distrett u qed juza il-vuci li tawh sabiex iressaq certa argumenti.

    Imma illum hu cert li ghadu jirrapresenthom? U jekk jghid li il gvern hu gvern olarigiku, sabiex hu jidher li hu ahjar mil gvern huwa lest li jsaqsi lill kull min ivvotalu ghadx ghandu fiducja fih?

    Hu lest li jaghmel ezami tal-kuxjenza sabiex jara huwa ghadux jirrparesenta il-fidcja li wera fih il-haddiem tad-disstrett jew inkella huwa hux qed jiggieled glieda professjonali?

    Jiena infermier imma jekk inkun qed nirrapresnta grupp ta’ nies irrid ninsa li jiena infermier imma irrid nara il-gid totali tan-nies li qed nirrapresenta.

    Jista Dr Deono jilluminani kif huwa qieghed jirrapresenta il gid tal-elettorat u mhux interessi professjonali?

    Huwa fatt li jekk ikun hawn certa riformi dawn ser jolqtu il-poplu kollu. Illum din il-qasma saret, mela ghaliex ma ahniex naccettawha?

      I agree with Lawrence Bonavia.

      If Dr Debono is confident enough in his constituents, he should call for a bye-election to see if he has the full support of his constituents.

    Put the country through what exactly? I didn’t quite understand what he was saying. And what is all this talk about the end of democracy in Malta?

    It’s as if he’s buying into the Labour hysteria as though he needs to gain favor with them.

    I just don’t understand where all this pigeon-holing is coming from to be honest. Throwing the word “dictator” or “oligarch” around in such an emotional way just to shift the goal posts and work everyone up.

    I hope these people understand that by doing this their supporters will believe them and get very emotional and they risk having a big mess on their hands.

    You can’t play these tricks and expect no knock-on effects. Call me crazy or paranoid but the emotions that get stirred up by such stunts don’t go away after an election.

    It’s one thing actually standing against an actual dictator since the pain and suffering the people endure have a humbling effect and people’s main aim is to bring peace and restore order – although look at what happened to Gaddafi in the end.

    But when there is no such torment, when people are literally better off than most people in Europe at the moment, and I would know because I live in the UK, and are convinced that they are suffering then the result could be social unrest that we haven’t seen since the 80s.

    But then again, isn’t that the glorious decade no PN supporter is allowed to mention, and that all PL supporters want to go back to?

      If this is an oligarchy, then Franco Debono’s Eva Peron.

      What next? Shagging his way to the top if he can’t be PM himself?

      Mummy should put him back in his walker until he learns how to behave.

    Xibka ta’ hazen? L-Illuminati li qed igebbdu mill-ispaga lil Gonzi? L-Epoka ta’ Horus fl-aqwa taghha? New Agers behind the curtains? L-Anno Zero? Riesaq l-ahhar tad-dinja fil-21 ta’ Dicembru 2012?
