Most investors probably still remember the vague promises of Alfred Sant and the nasty surprises thereafter. Once bitten twice shy.

Franco Debono is the arch culprit for any ucertainty there is in the country. Yet he wants to blame it on others

So he wants to form a new middle class, does he? What about the old middle class? Will he do away with it?

I find this disturbing. It looks like he will adopt a Robin Hood way of government, just as Mintoff did. He will rob the well-off to give to his new Midilkless.

We don’t realise that he is just the same old, same old. Once elected they will feed at the country’s trough like pigs.

I’m watching the speech now. So many serious faces, reminds me of some meeting in North Korea.

You’d take it for steely determination to get elected. I take it as a need to get elected at all costs, so that envy can reign, lanzit will rule, and we will see more wholesale abuse.

Today we have seen the demise of Sarkozy. You can say a lot of things about him, but he was a President in a difficult situation, valiantly trying to save the Euro. He also saved Libya from Gaddafi. As a President, he had his faults, but he was a President in abnormal times.

Gonzi is also a PM who had to steer our country through stormy waters of a recession that is unparallelled in recent history. And he did a magnificent job of it. We have some unemployed, but that’s it.

In fact, we have so many unemployed that our restaurants, quarries and building sites are full of immigrant and expat workers.

Muscat, once in Castille, will put up his feet and say “I’ve arrived”, leaving the country to be run by ministers accountable to no one. It will be KMB all over again, but KMB was weak. Joe is just crass.

I am hoping that Joseph actually invested in a teleprompter because he will now read out Labour’s plans from it.
Like this, he can always blame the teleprompter for mistakes in the policy.

The promise of reduced water and electricity bills without a compensatory increase in taxation is evidently another mission impossible promised by Joseph Muscat on the same scale as the abolition of VAT promised by Alfred Sant.

It is incredible that intelligent electors would fall for that unattainable dream and hope for another deus ex machina miracle to extricate the nation from the mess after less than two years!
