Eddie Privitera, the polls are plummeting for the wrong reasons. Last January PN had managed to close the gap to just 7%. March 2011 PL had a lead of 14%. When Franco abstained, PL regained that lead. The people are against PN because it is a divided party and not because PL have the better policies. In fact PL have no policies.

PL is saying that it does not want to announce its policies before the campaign kicks off because otherwise the PN will implement the policies itself.

PL thinks that it is important to wear a blue tie to get elected.

PL thinks that it is important to change the name of the Party from MLP to PL.

PL thinks that by removing the old flags it can get elected.

Do you remember when Mintoff used to call Eddie Vavu tal-harqa? Thank God we do not have the same style as Mintoff’s!

We do not agree on politics but I still have the utmost respect for you and I do read your contributions everywhere.

It is good for democracy.

He is a parliamentary assistant who is being paid as such and who hasn’t gone to his office in the ministry since January. He didn’t even have the decency to resign.

Joseph Vassallo: If I am not mistaken, you also wrote that the polls are plumetting for GonziPn because of Franco. That is the best compliment you could make !

I asked why he contested on the PN ticket in the first place. I also said that he should not have been accepted by the Nationalist Party at all and that he should be expelled.

‘They try to slow the political rythm to then try and sprint to gain momentum, with eyes fixed at all times on the plummeting polls….’

Edward Clemmer could be right, whoever it is, has a knack for polls and campaigns.

Now let’s see, campaigns, the police, criminal procedure, Marsaxlokk and Birzebbugia, an ultra nationalistic fetish for institutional supremacy, autonomy of same, the justice ministry (that would be Herrera) and media spotlight, preferably TV.

Sharon.

There we go again – the creme de la creme. The only thing such people are capable of is insulting those who do not agree with them.

A year ago his message was that he deserved being one of them, this week he’s decided they’re all utter crooks, failures, freemasons, anything to justify why he wasn’t chosen.

If this is what he was after, we’ve been spared an unimaginable potential embarrassment to the party. If the other two have a couple of scandals to look back on, Franco preempted his.
