Read Daphne’s article in the Malta Independent, today.

Richard Cachia Caruana doesn’t need my advice but if I were him I would sue the Clerk of the House for accepting the motion. It doesn;t mean he will go back to being an ambassador but I would fight it legally and clear matters.

Labour has just presented a list of names to be struck off the electoral register. After having proposed Yana Bland as a prospective candidate.

They’re willing to exclude people, in the name of a movement which refuses partisan politics, how absurd is that?

Yes, you are so right. I did think that the motion should not have been accepted for discussion by the Speaker in the first place.

Could this have been done or was Dr. Gonzi cornered in some way? Parliament has set a precedent – now Ambassadors and civil servants can he hauled up before Parliament at the whim of a political party who feels threatened by them or does not agree with their policies.

It makes this all the more depressing when one considers that one the parliamentarians does not even have a vote to his name as he replaced another MP who was duly elected.

In my mind only 33 Labour MPs represent the electorate – the other is just a second zero.

In reply to Harry Purdie. Franco Debono is probably on his list. He can fill ANY position.

I still insist and I hope someone will clarify: the Cachia Caruana motion should not have been accepted for discussion by the Speaker. Ambassadors are answerable to the Minister, not to Parliament – perhaps someone can clarify this.
