Oh good. Now I can vote Labour.
Hilarious – just read the first paragraph of this Labour Party statement to the press if you don’t feel like reading it all.
“L-ewwel Kungress tal-Partit Laburista se jservi biex inħabbtu l-ideat tagħna mal-ideat tal-membri …”
As if their ‘membri’ are a different body from the MLP’s administration.
So whose ideas will prevail when it comes to the crunch: those of party member and friend of Jason, Ronnie Pellegrini, or those of AST and Il-Guy in the party administration?

Imniedi l-ewwel Kungress tal-Partit Laburista
L-ewwel Kungress tal-Partit Laburista se jservi biex inħabbtu l-ideat tagħna mal-ideat tal-membri, fi djalogu sħiħ biex flimkien infasslu r-roadmap ta’ fejn irridu naraw lil pajjiżna għaxar snin oħra.
Sostna dan il-Mexxej tal-Partit Laburista Dr Joseph Muscat f’konferenza tal-aħbarijiet li matulha nieda l-Ewwel Kungress tal-Partit Laburista li se jinżamm bejn l-14 u t-23 ta’ Settembru.
Dr Muscat saħaq li din hija l-ewwel darba li partit politiku qiegħed jiftaħ id-diskussjoni dwar il-manifest elettorali, mal-membri tiegħu u mhux biss mad-delegati.
“Din hija d-differenza bejn partit politiku u moviment. Filwaqt li manifest ta’ partit politiku jkun imfassal minn kumitat bejn erba’ min-nies, dan il-moviment ħa l-pass kuraġġjuż li jiftaħ id-diskussjoni mal-membri kollha,” qal Dr Muscat.
Il-Mexxej Laburista spjega ż-żewġ funzjonijiet ewlenin li għandu l-Kungress. Dik li jeleġġi l-Mexxej tal-Partit Laburista, u li japprova l-linji gwida tal-manifest elettorali.
Manifest li x-xogħol fuqu ilu għaddej tliet snin, b’diversi laqgħat ma’ NGOs u mas-soċjeta’ ċivili. Dwar dawn il-laqgħat, saħaq Dr Muscat, ma ndaqqewx trombi, għaliex kienu laqgħat ta’ ħidma dwar fejn irridu naraw lil pajjiżna fiż-żmien li ġej.
“Il-programm elettorali tal-Partit Laburista mhux se jkun xi wishlist, iżda se jkun roadmap professjonali ta’ fejn irridu nwasslu lil pajjiżna, u li se jkun jinkludi fih dawk l-oqsma li Gvern Ġdid irid jitfa’ l-enerġija tiegħu fuqhom,” qal Joseph Muscat. Min-naħa l-oħra GonziPN għaddej f’ferneżija ta’ skemi u wegħdi li huma kontradittorji għaliex m’għandux pjan koerenti.
Għalhekk, temm jgħid il-Mexxej Laburista, il-Kungress se jiddiskuti temi kruċjali, li jolqtu lill-familji Maltin u Għawdxin b’mod dirett.
Il-President tal-Partit Laburista Dr Stefan Zrinzo Azzopardi spjega kif ir-riforma fl-istatut tal-Partit Laburista, li saret fl-2008 ħasbet għal struttura ġdida li tagħti vuċi lill-membri, struttura li hija unika għal partit politiku.
Dr Zrinzo Azzopardi spjega kif is-suġġetti li se jkunu diskussi waqt il-Kungress jinkludu l-Qasam Soċjali, is-Saħħa, il-Libertajiet Ċivili, l-Ekonomija, ix-Xogħol, il-Kultura, l-Edukazzjoni, l-Ambjent, il-Familja u ż-Żgħażagħ fost l-oħrajn.
Il-Kungress se jmur ukoll f’Għawdex, b’attivita’ apposta dwar il-prijoritajiet ta’ Gvern Ġdid. Dr Zrinzo Azzopardi spjega wkoll kif il-Partit Laburista organizza sensiela ta’ laqgħat għall-membri minn Mejju li għadda, biex jispjega aħjar il-kunċett wara l-Kungress.
Min-naħa tagħha s-Segretarja tal-Eżekuttiv, Dr Lydia Abela qalet li l-Kungress se jagħti spazju lill-membri biex jagħtu sehemhom fuq dak li jolqothom, hekk kif se jservi ta’ pjattaforma biex jitfasslu l-linji gwida tal-manifest elettorali.
“Għall-Partit Laburista, il-membri mhumiex qegħdin hemm biex iħallsu t-tessera darba fis-sena, iżda biex il-fhemiet tagħhom jiġu mwieżna,” temmet tgħid Dr Abela.

Excuse me, but what’s so new here? The PN has been using the workshop system for the past thirty years.
As for the congress, it’s just an excuse to set up a rival week long event coinciding with the Independence meet on the fosos.
‘Se jservi ta’ pjattaforma biex jitfasslu l-linji gwida tal-manifest elettorali…’
They haven’t even got the basic concept ideas in place. So much for the bull he’s been giving us these past four years.
Then they expect to come up with a definite product in less than a week, at the national park. Please.
Coincidentally it will be done during Independence week. Just to make sure they are at par when it comes to news coverage.
Jien nahseb li meta se jhabbtu l-ideat, se jsibu il-Higgs boson.

Can they decide? Is this a “partit politiku” or is it a “moviment”?
Ghadhom ma jafux , baqghalhom jaghduha kummitat , imbaghad ihabtu ras xulxin , u liktar rass li taghmel hoss jaghmluha vici kap.
Karmenu Vella ser ikun responsabbli mil-Manifest Elettorali tal-Partit.
Zmien il-Partiti spicca. Ghalhekk Moviment.
Il-Moviment ser ikollu Roadmap mhux Manifest Elettorali.
Il-Moviment huwa iffukat fuq ir-Roadmap.
Il-Partit ser jaghmel Kungress biex jistabilixxi Guidelines ghal-Manifest Elettorali tal-Moviment.
Fejn marret ir-Roadmap?
What a curious expression: “inħabbtu l-idejat tagħna mal-ideat tal-membri”.
“We strike/crash our ideas against those of our members”.
Yawn…………..
Basically they have no fucking idea what they will do when they will be elected to govern this country.
Why not discuss it with the Maltese population at large? I wouldn’t want to have economic policy based on what those who elected Joseph Muscat as leader actually think best.
It took 4 months to explain the concept of the congress?
Ahjar imorru jhabbtu rashom mal-hajt.
I came across this the other day and thought I’d share it with you Daphne…

Habat tajjeb li Franco Debono mhux parti mil-PL, ghax ara kieku kemm kien imur jipponta fil-kungress bl-idejat tal-famuz membru li jiftahar li ghandhu, ghax s’issa l-idejat tal-Labour donnhom kollha minn z—hom hargu.
Labour has a cock-tail of stupid ideas.
Imsomma, biex il-Labour jirnexxilhom jaqaw ghan-nejk fil-kungress aktar min GonziPN fl-ahhar tellieqa f’Jannar li tellaq wahdu u li rebah bla… unuri..’……ci vuole’!
Int bhal kull gossiper tal-rahal, tahseb li ic-centru tal-galassja taghna jiddependi fuq dak li tiggosippja int: God, you have an opinion on everything, bhal tal-kumitati tal-kazini..kemm dawk nazzjonalisti u kemm dawk laburisti, taf x’jonsok tmur ghal party tal-festa, tal milied u tal-ghid biex tiekol ikla bebbux b.xejn…sintendi waqt li takkumula aktar ‘hrejjef’ biex tkompli tiggosipja! Keep it up!
[Daphne – Having an opinion on many things is actually my job, Miss Polly. I’m paid to do it, and have been since the age of 25. This may have escaped your notice.]
“Il-Mexxej Laburista spjega ż-żewġ funzjonijiet ewlenin li għandu l-Kungress. Dik li jeleġġi l-Mexxej tal-Partit Laburista, u li japprova l-linji gwida tal-manifest elettorali.”
Jigifieri Joseph Muscat ser jaqa’ ghan-nejk bhal Gonzi u jtellaq wahdu biex hu ukoll jerbah bi kbir?
I bet at Bidnia, gossip travels at the speed of boredom!
[Daphne – In fact, it does not. People either confine themselves behind the high walls of their homes, emerging only behind the wheel of a car, or they share exactly the same attitude as other Maltese rural folk: ‘see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil’. Rajt ma rajtx, smajt ma smajtx. For gossip, you need a village or the urban core. Bidnija is not a village.]
‘Rajtx ma rajtx’ ecc int? Hlief isseksekk u tissindika-kif jghidu ta common folk-ma tafx?
[Daphne – That’s bollocks, Polly. A factual discussion about politicians is not gossip. It’s a factual discussion about politicians. Learn the difference. Gossip is what people do about me – largely, I suppose, in the absence of any stars of stage or screen who would make far more interesting material than me.]
Can I help drawing up the friggin’ roadmap?
I’ll draw a road that leads straight to the North Pole and lead all the Laburisti up it. I’ll push Jeffrey, Franco and Jesmond in with the lot too.
Dear Daphne I strongly believe there is nothing better than the truth. I have been disappointed of both PN and the New LP. I write in the Times of Malta accordingly and how I see things.
Allow me to try to use your well sought sight because I have been noticing each time I write criticism on the PN it is being posted but again when I denounce New Labour it is being ignored and censored. This to me is not freedom of the press.
Inhabbtu l-ideat?
If their ideas are bollocks, it can be pretty painful.
Se jaqbdu il-Fondazzjoni Idejat u se jhabbtuha mal-hajt, forsi johrog xi haga. Ghax s’issa ghadu ma hareg xejn.
