It’s very interesting to note that the PL has asked JPO to stand as a candidate. It shows that the PL approve of the Mistra project. What a bloody farce! Igri tghaddi l-elezzjoni ha nehilsu minn dan ir-ragel.

In reply to Adrian.

Sant’s position on this and on other issues is: Santa huwa konxju.

That is how Muscat answered Reno Bugeja on Dissett (tomorrow’s programme). The subject being discussed was the collusion of Cachia Caruana with Labour.

Alla hares Sant mhux konxju la darba qed jghix u wkoll deputat. Dik twegiba ta kap tal-oppozizzjoni.

We musn’t believe all that Jeffrey says, so Muscat might or might not have asked him to contest the elections and Jeffrey might have accepted or refused.

Just because Jeffrey says something doesn’t mean it’s true. On the contrary.

Did the Labour Party confirm what JPO said? I have a hard time believing anything this guy says. Didn’t he cry when he was (rightly accused) of trying to build a disco in a green area?

In reply to maryanne.

And Joseph should very well feel insecure.

1 Even his own supporters are realizing that the Party had made a grave mistake electing him as Leader.

2 The more time goes by, the more Joseph proves that he is incapable of developing policies which may make the difference this time.

3 He is now perceived as being the puppet of the string pullers from the 70s and 80s (and 90s).

4. The more underhanded tactics he uses in luring NP dissident MPs, the more evident it becomes that if elected he would wage open war on anyone with Nationalist sympathies.

5. The more he succeeds in manipulating JPOS and FD and to a lesser extent JM, the more resolute true Nationalists become, even the fence sitters or the ones who in the past chose to stay home and not cast their vote.

Maybe Joseph is reading the faint writing on the wall. Fail this once, and he will become history after the shortest leadership tenure in Labour Party’s history.

Far from becoming Malta’s youngest prime minister. Screw up this chance and he will not get a second one.

What’s Alfred Sant’s position on this?

Mark, ilkoll nafu li jasal iz-zmien tal-hlas, imma ma bzajniex fil-passat u mhux sejrin nibzaw issa.

Drajnikom u ma nippretendux ahjar minn nies li ghandu fl-iskip il-bahbuh Joseph.

Perhaps the more relevant political questions this story raises is when this offer, made to JPOS by none other than the leader of the opposition himself, was put forward to him and whether he informed the whip or the Prime minister about it. If not, given his refusal of the proposal, why not?
