@ Pablo.

I do not think that Muscat and Co Ltd had to wait for “the morning after” before they realized, to their dismay, that they had been “played” once more by Dr F Debono, judging by the expressions on their faces on leaving parliament after that vote.

These recent events have given a boost to the re-election hopes of the PN, so much so that the PN might capitalise on it by calling an election soon.

Franco did not vote with the PL – they voted with him.

The tail wagged the dog. By rushing into such a fool’s alliance, they have proven to all of us that they share his view of what politics is all about – personal gain and glorification. Franco, the manipulator appealed to the old MLP witch hunt mentality and instinctively they got sucked in, hook, line and sinker.

Imagine Muscat this morning, surrounded by the jubilant faces of the old guard slowly coming to the shocking realization that he has been played and has given away so much for nothing in return.

Its divine justice that the PL has made a meal of it and is paying the bill. And they will repeat it with the RCC saga.
Like Franco, they just cannot help themselves.

Sorry, but what has Michael Farrugia’s private life got to do with politics?

[Daphne – When an Opposition spokesman and aspiring cabinet minister accepts the loan of a place to live from somebody who involves himself in certain sorts of bookmaking activities, it’s a matter of public interest and has nothing to do with his private life.]

And what’s the link between Farrugia’s relationship status and his credibility and integrity? (I can’t see any to be fair). Now, I don’t know Dr Farrugia and I’m not a PL apologist, but these personal attacks really disgust me.

[Daphne – Did I say anything about his relationship status? Why would I care. My comment was about how, when he left his wife, he needed somewhere to live and somebody obliged, and that somebody is not the sort to whom a future cabinet minister should in any way be obliged at all. Trust you to hit on the ‘leave his wife’ but and get agitated, as though that was the point, while missing the real story.]

Advice; take Mary Mifsud to bed and then read together the Kama Sutra to allievate your sufferings.

They get rid of an honest, genuine, hard-working minister when in Opposition. What will they do if (a big IF now, I hope?) they get to Castille.
