lola, stop writing nonsense. The delegates had no choice? Are you for real?

I can almost assure you that if Gonzi did not make it on the first poll, he would have called it a day. But not only he made it but obtained 96.5% of the votes, 2.4% higher than what he obtained when elected eight years ago! I know of no political leader anywhere (except in Communist countries where getting 100% is mandatory – or else) who increased their popularity vote eight years after being elected the first time. The delegates did have a choice. As a matter of fact 31 (no and abstentions) chose not to support their leader.

Joseph should try it with a secret vote like Dr Gonzi did and, who knows, he may get 96.6%, just enough to outdo Gonzi!

A ‘floating voter/observer’ should be able to get an unbiased opinion which, from your writing, does not seem to be forthcoming at this time. I wonder why?

Really? Because I don t see the connection. GonzoPN was a slogan used during an election. If it wasn’t for the Pl’s constant mentioning of it I would have forgotten about it by now, the same way I have forgotten about the PL’s slogan in the last election.

Same reasons I guess for PN’s obession with “pratikament”, “elves”, “doctOr”, and what not.

Ah! Haiku!

It changed nothing. It could not change anything.

Even if Dr.Gonzi was not elected in the first round, he would have done it on the second round. He got more percentage votes then four years ago, but this time there were no other contestants.

The delegates had no choice.

We wait and see what is going to unfold in parliament when votes are taken.

I want to make it clear that I am just a floater \ observer and do not back any of the major parties.

And to clarify, I never understood exactly why the term “dictator” is being used in a modern (perhaps wishful thinking) society like Malta. I guess that whoever is using it thinks that what Libya and Tunisia had, and what Iran has are very close to the way the Maltese government runs its affairs.

Mamma mia xi klikka kbira dik ta’ GonziPN li tammonta ghal 96,5% ta’ l-organizzazzjoni shiha!

Tghid kemm hi kbira hux il-klikka ta’ Johnny Dalli?

A friend of mine lend me It-Torca yesterday to read Fr Montebello’s opinion. It really says it all about Franco.
