Mistra is still pending and Joseph lately stated that he would consider development within ODZones.

Mere coincidence? Methinks not.

What I could not understand was why the government MPs let George Vella lie and twist and insult without even a whimper. Now I have to admit that I heard him on my computer tuned to 106.6 FM but I could not pick up any protests from the government side.

Even worse was when JPO’s name was called and he voted with the Opposition. I just could not believe that a few on the Govt. side did not interrupt the count by calling JPO some colourful names he deserves.

The ‘appeasing’, the civil behaviour towards the Opposition and its pawns sitting on the government side, clearly do not work and Dr. Gonzi & Co. better toughen up and soon.

It is only a meaningless courtesy title when applied to such people.

JPO is a dick in whatever capacity.

Only if Daphne allows them to which she sometimes doesn’t if she doesn’t like the point they are making.

Democracy did not win at all – it was raped. Democracy is the least imperfect form of government but it can be abused and it is currently being grossly abused in Malta.

Both Richard Cachia Caruana and Carm Mifsud Bonnici are innocent victims of rival politicians choosing to share the same bed in order to satisfy personal vendettas and political ambitions neither of which are in the national interest at a time of international economic turmoil.

It is a typical case of politics making very strange bedfellows indeed. One has only to recall JPO’s involvement in the Mistra illegal development exposed by the leader of the MLP and the associated tearful farce on TV.

Malta gained so much thanks to this man’s thoroughbred genius.

Mr Cachia Caruana will be able to have a well deserved rest from public office and hopefully will still consult government as his train of thought is possibly the finest Malta has ever seen.

This man helped pull through Eddie Fenech Adami’s European dream and now some fool who knows little or nothing about international politics votes him out.

Of course Labour look all the more silly once again and cannot help but shoot themselves in the foot so soon after their Carmelo Mifsud Bonnici blunder. Labour will never change and rather then being smart in these delicate matters they continue to show their true colours.

Keep it up, Joseph.

Chapeau, Richard Cachia Caruana. Ad multos annos.

The public can respond right here, like you have just done.
