Comment of the day
Posted by Alfred Bugeja:
Everyone, not least Saviour Balzan, seems to forget that the MLP had meticulously prepared the Mistra campaign against JPOS ahead of the election.
They had even written, produced and had printed a book called “L-iskandlu tal-Mistra”. That kind of thing takes time.
The book had gone on sale during Labour’s mass meeting the day after Sant revealed all in his press conference, complete with adverts on Labour’s television and radio stations.
The existence of that book has now been Stalinised: wiped off the record.
Seriously, would you go through all that trouble without having the hard facts, like a contract, in hand?
So this business that the MLP was surprised when it was handed the contract is hogwash. The only thing it wasn’t expecting was that the Nationalist Party knew exactly what Sant would be coming up with.
And we all know who was behind that.

To the average Laburist, blind loyalty to the party is a given.
I wonder how they are living with the suspicion that one of their own, Joseph Muscat, who was safely ensconced in Brussels at that time, willingly derailed the party’s chances of election so that he would succeed Alfred Sant as Leader.
Has any journalist asked Alfred Sant his comments?
No wonder relations between the “young prophet” and his teacher seem to be so strained lately.
There’s no winning is there? Damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

That is Joseph Muscat’s only battle cry… no wonder Maltastar is pissed off.
I don’t know about a meticulously prepared Mistra campaign.
What I know for sure is that it was disastrously executed.
It was meticulously planned, but Joseph Muscat screwed it up for them. Since the PN was forewarned, it could act preemptively and send Labour’s plans haywire and punch holes in the story.
But I doubt the PN would have acted in the same manner, had it known that JPOS was lying.
To confirm re: l-iskandlu tal-mistra book. here’s a link to a youtube video dated 01.03.2008

Saviour missed this on his favourite ex minister.
