In reply to Babe. I would like to see him contest the NP leadership whenever that happens. For sure he can count on some 3.5% delegate support!

I’m doing up my garden this week. It involves repeated visits to the ironmonger, the pet shop and the bar in the piazza to get chilled water for the contractor’s employees. .

Everyone is saying the same thing; Franco Debono is simply spiting a democratically elected government, that means all of us. What’s interesting is how loudly they’re voicing this point.

One old man, with L-Orizzont spread in front of him nailed it.

He tried to do what Mintoff did to Boffa and hijack the party in order to become Leader of a political party and equal to Joseph Muscat.

He failed miserably.Now, he is free to carry on stamping his feet and ranting and raving himself into political oblivion.

In reply to pampalun.

[Daphne – You forgot to factor in the nut-jobs and the psychos.]

Sorry I don’t agree with you on this, recruitment policies are leadership and management’s responsibility. So choosing nut-jobs and psychos is still the fault of the leadership.

Agree that it should have never come to this. Weak leadership and wrong team management tactics by the PM. Would make a classic case study.

So now, Franco wants to focus on the reforms he is proposing, according to The Times. I’d be damned if the Prime Minister lets him have his way.

Franco, I as a Nationalist, voted for the Nationalist electoral programme. It did not include the majority of the reforms you want. And I am against most of them as well. My mother and father, who are your constituents do not agree with your reforms either.

Your actions are effectively the essence of what is anti-democratic because of your mistaken perception about your “political and justice reforms about which practically everyone agrees”. Only dictators and people who have a warped perception of democracy think like you do. No one ever voted for your ideas.

You are an insult to the values of the Nationalist Party and an embarrassment for those who voted for you. If you were elected on a different electoral programme you should have made this known to all and sundry. Had you done so, in all likeliness you would still be languishing in the court’s backyard looking for petty criminals to defend.
