Alas, the likelihood of Simon Busuttil being co-opted to Parliament is very minimal at the moment, Mr Privitera, considering Franco&#039;s intentions to vote against the budget irrespective of its contents.

Besides, the two situations are VERY different.

Tonio Borg is freeing up his seat in Parliament readily, on his own accord; while Cuschieri&#039;s hand was essentially forced in order to make way for Joseph Muscat.

There could also be a situation whereby someone else is elected instead of Borg from his district by means of a by-election, to fill the gap until the next election comes; with another Minister being appointed Leader of the House in the interim.]]></description>

According to Charles Mangion, taxation  in Malta is adequate and need not to be lowered. So why are you complaining?]]></description>

canon:  Just as many thousands did in 2008 to Lawrence Gonzi after hearing him say - and wrote it in the electoral manifesto - that he would be lowering the tax rate from 35% to 25%. They couldn&#039;t take their vote back then. But many will be giving him their answer in a few weeks/ months time !]]></description>
