Nice going, DebonoPL

Published: June 2, 2012 at 11:46am

There is, between Monday and Wednesday, an important meeting of the World Economic Forum in Turkey, to which the Maltese prime minister (as distinct from Lawrence Gonzi) was invited.

Sources tell me that he has just declined the invitation in view of Monday’s confidence vote in parliament and the possible fall-out.

Put simply, Malta’s involvement in an important regional initiative – all the more important given a government MP’s recent ungracious remarks in Turkey’s direction – has been sabotaged by DebonoPL’s hdura tactics and inept language skills.

Mur gibhom fil-gvern, with those priorities.

    Rest assured that the PL is going to turn the argument against the government. In their view it is Lawrence Gonzi’s fault ‘li ghandna gvern instabbli’ and not DebonoPL’s.

    The PL do not care less – all they can think of is being elected and their Leader becoming Prime Minister. The rest, to them is irrelevant.

    I have a feeling that what happened this week is going to go in favour of the PN and give a jolt to those PN who were thinking of voting PL just for a change.

    FRANCO DEBONO SAT ON A WALL
    FRANCO DEBONO HAD A GREAT FALL
    ALL THE KING’S SOLDIERS
    ALL THE KING’S MEN
    COULD NOT PUT FRANCO TOGETHER AGAIN

    BYE BYE, BIG HEAD

    With Carm Mifsud Bonnici’s forced resignation, Joseph Muscat and Franco Debono have made history, alas, for all the wrong reasons.

    I hope this will be an eye opener to the thousands of Maltese who fought for democracy in the eighties and the younger generation who have always lived within a democratic society allowed by successive PN governments.

    Joseph Muscat’s – the end justifies the means – should be a warning sign that we might have to start all over again for all the things we take forgranted today.

    Franco Debono set out to lead the PN. He ended up leading the PL to vote with him.
    Joe Muscat , better watch out.

      He actually was Prime Minister for a Day. He had a majority in Parliament. No wonder his “excitement.”

    Tajjeb ukoll. Xi dwejjaq ta’ bniedem, my god.

    Damn! Poor world economic forum depriving itself of the indepth and analytical insights of Dr Gonzi.

    The world economy and its problems can wait – tough!

    [Daphne – I have told you already – or was that your friend Mandango? – that it is a bad idea to use Bank of Valletta’s system to post these sorts of comments. I don’t think it’s allowed, and not for political reasons, either.]

      I suppose you must be one of Franco’s clients. You work at BOV, so probably you’re not a prostitute or drug dealer, but I think you would fit the low IQ group perfectly.

    • La Redoute says:

      Ah, but what about the meeting’s importance to Malta? That’s nothing, compared to Luciano Busuttil’s inability to understand the correct use punctuation, the cause of that fuss and farce about a US government cable..

  8. BC says:

    Daphne may I ask: Who called Monday’s confidence vote?

    [Daphne – The prime minister, BC. I imagine that in your world, the prime minister would say: “Hang on a minute, I’ve got to be somewhere else. We’ll do it when I come back.”]

    • BC says:

      Ermmm and what will next Monday’s confidence vote really change, apart from the fact that FD will vote in favour but he will still keep on grumbling. What if, maybe, it was never called in the first place? Maybe for this one moment we will put on a side the politics of appearances.

      [Daphne – A vote of confidence is inevitable given the apparent formation of a new party in parliament, DebonoPL.]

  9. Angus Black says:

    The prime minister should have invited Franco Debono to go instead of him, and land him with a ‘daddy or chips’ dilemma.

    Parliamentary vote, or big important world conference?
