Who was it? That Frazier? Go on, do tell.

Under PN governments since then, it is worth noting that that emissary has been promoted to senior management level in our civil service and will probably reappear in a higher position in case of a MLP victory.

Same old faces, different times. Plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose.

Did you notice how the stock markets reacted to yesterday’s elections in France?

They got the jitters at the possibility of the socialist contender becoming President.

Silvio, I do not know much about the mess the world is in now. I know that Malta is doing relatively well.

But I do know about the mess Malta was in during the Golden Years (70’s and 80’s). Those Kartanzjan holders were in their heyday at the time, going through “shining achievements in economic construction.”

“Far from beating them he has been put there by them.”

That is what I think, too.
The Kartanzjan holders (sorry, silvio) tried to hide their grey hair behind Joseph’s fair hair. The problem is that his hair is now almost all gone, and we can now see the silver lining behind Joseph’s head.

Ciccio, I agree with all three points but not with AJS’s notion that “he managed to beat so many stalwarts to party leadership at a very young age”

The way I see it is that the old fossils of the 70s have discovered in him the perfect tool to get Labour elected. Far from beating them he has been put there by them.

After that is accomplished I do not see him surviving very long as PM, except possibly as a mere puppet.

If there are any concrete plans that the PL has I think they have more to do with what the PL’s structure will be a few months after the election rather than what to do about the economy or such trivialities.

What is wrong with kartanzjan holders?

Do you think our country belongs only to the young?

Maybe that is the reason why the world has never been in such a mess as we are in now.

Patience, your time will come, but of course first you have to grow up.

And the result of such policy is already showing alarm in other countries.

And social welfare, the ministry for the south thingy could have been another teaser to satisfy Silvio’s cravings. Undoubtedly opposed by Colerio Preca, who also seems to have succeeded in keeping Deborah Schembri in check.

As with energy policy and environmental matters, which should be his forte, given the importance the European socialists have attached to these.

Instead there’s Leo Brincat and Marlene Farrugia who’ve been assigned a duplicated role.

The contradictory statements were evident during the Sargas racket, both wary of stepping on each other’s turf, both distant from Joseph’s statements in favour.

Another question everyone’s asking, is who’ll bag Mepa.
I suspect there may be more to Franco’s dislikes and love of the judiciary, Mepa is, after all, a regulatory body.

Herrera for justice minister with Mepa in his portfolio.
Imagine that.
