This comes as no surprise. Just history repeating itself. Remember 1971 to 1987?

The MLP deprived the Maltese of the right of access to the European courts of justce as long as they were in power.

Cynically they conceded that right only on the eve of being rejected by the electorate convincingly for the second time. (After their rejection at the previous general election they did not count the votes cast by the majority of voters. They counted the seats obtained by deceitful gerrymandering.)

When the MLP finally granted access to the European courts of justice they made doubly sure that the facility would not be availed of as long as they governed, by hook or by crook.

If the voters were to elect the LP at the next general election the facility of recourse to the international courts of justice could very well be suppressed again.

The Labour Party artificers who made sure that the Maltese public would not be able to take its case against the MLP to international courts of justice during their previous reign are stll there.

In reply to canon. Hoping? They're taking it as a given.

If these persons are stupid, then those who accept them as candidates for parliament are equally stupid, and this applies also to those who vote for them.

What is involved is not stupidity but perversity, and this is not eradicated through instruction in any institution.

Only an educated vote which marginalises such persons can improve the standards in parliament.

“No, not really insane. That is what they truly believe.”

They ARE insane.

Control freaks – they’re typically Labour. That’s where they belong. I think that one of the best decisions by Dr Gonzi was that of relegating Mugliett to the back bench. Pity he was allowed to contest in 2008.

In reply to Omega. We should not expect the EU to keep our rights of expression - we have to grow up once and for all and be capable of making sure ourselves that we keep our rights of expression, etc.

In reply to Mister. They're *unable* to think. How do they imagine they can keep control of the media as they did in the good old, bad old days?

It is this lack of human rights concept that made such people so compatible with authoritarian regimes such as Ghaddafi, Chairman Mao, the old Soviet Union and North Korea. I hope that during a future Labour government, the EU will be able to ensure that we keep our rights of expression.

The University of Malta is more like a glorified primary school if we had to go by this mentality.

Free press, freedom of expression, freedom to form an opinion and freedom of choice are seen as threats by the Malta Labour Party.

They do not want people to think.
