In reply to Manda. "He had to use those answers no matter what the question was. This shows that this guy is still just a school boy and certainly not practical to face real situations. " Do you think he might still be stuck in his Form 2c, like Franco?

Joseph Muscat’s replies during his Xarabank interview yesterday clearly showed that he had been coached and had ready-prepared answers, as distinction from prepared facts and information.

He had to use those answers no matter what the question was. This shows that this guy is still just a school boy and certainly not practical to face real situations.

He is just a media person and POWER HUNGRY! And surely very poor where statistics are to be interpreted: +8% = approx. +22,000 votes in an election. Do you call this “underdog”?

He’s not one to refrain from cheating his way up. What he’ll think of the rest of us when in power is anyone’s guess.

In reply to H.P. Baxxter.

A 9% Victory….amazing ejjjj, pity in 2008 the polls were saying Labour will win and for the first time I’ll treat them as nonsense and flush them in the loo….I guess Baxxter, you should do as well. Typical PN propaganda

Labour’s core vote is 47%.
PN’s is 38%

Underdog indeed.

In reply to anthony. I would not call him a liar. He is a schemer, though, manipulator and opportunist. Lil Franco Debono qed idawwru zugraga u jisserva bih, u dak il figlio di una buona donna, ghadu ma ittendiex.

In reply to Grezz. That's exactly why countries like Greece are in such a mess and that's also where we would have been had Alfred Sant won the 2008 election. Who knows, we are still in the running wih Joe Muscat as the youngest ever Prime Minister.

Of Course PL are the underdogs when one considers that it is opposing a govt which has been at the helm for 14 years or so. Which polls are stating so? the same polls that in 2008 were giving Labour, not a landslide victory, but for sure a win?
I guess eeryone knows what happened in 2008, irrelevant of the way the election was won.

The idea of the PL as underdog was perhaps suggested by Edward Scicluna who has already used it himself in some television programme.
