In reply to Dee. I thought he was Leader of the Opposition. He's far more effective than his classmate.

In reply to ciccio. Baxxter, humbly, I'd say, that what went wrong between Hagar Qim and now is that nothing has changed in the minds of some people.

In reply to ciccio. What is it with this country and its love affair with nerds in politics? Where did it all go wrong between Hagar Qim and now?

In reply to ciccio.

Jiena tghidx kemm but8.
I should be a Special Deleg8.
F’hajti kollha qatt ma fall8
Imm’ issai lura ghal grade8.

Ministru ridt insir minnufih
Imma Gonzi tilef il-muftieh,
Bieb inghalaq quddiem wicci,
U hallewni b’wicc imbikki.

Ara mummy, x’wahda din,
avolja kif ghidtli, dhalt fin, fin
imma bhal gurdien go nassa,
spiccajt mibghud mill-massa.

Futur m’ghadx baqali,
ghax kliemi qalu huma banali.
Ma nafx fejn inserrah rasi,
rokna nfittex b’zewg fanali.

Haqq is-siegha w l-mument,
sahha ‘l-holma ta monument,
Hadd ma jrid jidher mieghi,
u din kollha htija tieghi!

Thanks for the opening lines, ciccio

In reply to ciccio. That's the right way to ride a high horse. Like that, when your horse dumps its sh*t on the road, you have no excuse to leave it behind.

Franco wants a clause inserted in the Constitution requiring a minister to resign if a motion of no confidence in his regard, is passed. When told that it is the norm and in such a case the minister resigns, he remarked that such matters should be ‘in writing’.

Excellent idea, but Franco should go one wee bit further and also, asks that, in writing, an elected MP should give the Speaker, his pledge that having been elected under one particular Party’s banner, he will remain faithful to the Party for the full term of the legislation.

The pledge is given to the Speaker of the House, not Party leader, just in case some MP declares that he cannot or will not work with his Boss, changes his mind sometime along the term, and holds the country hostage to his (or her) warped motives.

And to refine it further and to balance out when a minister should tender his resignation, how about getting MPs to resign their seat, the moment they declare that they can no longer support the government (or Party in Opposition)?

What is good for the goose is good for the fighting cock, methinks!
