In reply to silvio farrugia. Careful there. There is a happy medium between stinginess and profligacy, and I've been seeing too much of the latter these last ten years.

For these people all is ‘lussu’ and ‘hela’. The Maltese deserve the worst u qamel.

Flowers by the roadsides are ‘hela’ and restoring a broken bridge in Grand Harbour is ‘lussu’. Building a new airport was a waste of money.

[Daphne – And building Malta’s first-ever parliament house, almost 50 years after we achieved statehood, is also wasteful in the eyes of those with scant respect for the meaning and symbolism of democracy.]

Most probably protocol would require the president to be given priority if the PM doesn’t inaugurate a national project like this; just thinking, as most probably Muscat has, once more, ignored protocol as he has done more than once.

“…Joseph Muscat, as the new Prime Minister, would personally invite Lawrence Gonzi to inaugurate it (City Gate project)…” “asked whether a new Labour government would continue the project, that his government would first see what stage the project was in”.

First of all, Dr. Muscat, under the circumstances he describes, will have to find out,whether Dr. Gonzi would even accept his invitation. Secondly, at what stage would he decide not to continue with the project? Would he leave it unfinished? Was this intended to be an April fools day joke?

Like it or not, the City Gate project will always be a Nationalist government project whether Dr. Muscat cuts the ribbon or not. It was Dr. Gonzi who, after 70 years of procrastination by various governments took the proverbial ‘reluctant horse to the trough and MADE it drink’. No 16 years and 22 months of Socialist governments even gave a thought about a project of this size, let alone finish it.

If Dr. Muscat is sincere and one can take this as some sort of olive branch, then he should start now and let pending legislation through and stop hindering government business. He should start with the Education Bill which the Opposition had agreed with but which it intends to vote against ‘because it is a money bill’!

There is no shred of evidence that the Labour Party is clear, transparent, sincere and above all accountable. On the contrary, there has never been a more hypocritical bunch, than the circle of has-beens and wannabes around the inexperienced leader.

We must be relieved that Joseph Muscat prophesises that a future Labour government would not be an incompetent one.

The last time time round an MLP government had the astounding “competence” of lasting barely a year and a half, most of which was spent in internecine warfare.

In reply to Jozef. The balcony awaits 'IL DUCE' to make his victory speech.
