Ghadni ma nistax nifhem ghala Dr. Busuttil mar jitkarrab ghand id-dentist meta id-dentist lanqas vot ma ghandu fil-kunsill genrali tal-PN ghax telaq mill-partit.

Allura dan, possibbli ma jafux Dr. Busuttil? Jien hemm nithawwad ghal Dr Busuttil ghax qisu hemm xi haga izjed fonda minn hekk.

In reply to Bob. I fully agree with your assertion.

In reply to maryanne. Maybe Simon is offering his services as a replacement father confessor to the newly orphaned.

In reply to Aston. I don t think she s underestimating his intelligence at all. she s just playing the game. So will he or won t he contest the Deputy post? the unnamed person that JPO supports. Why don t you ever mention DeMarco by name?

Simon has already shown weakness and that he will be led and not lead. He will make a good minister but not a good leader.

Simon is being incredibly naive. His well intentioned but hopeless attempt to achieve a rapprochement with characters like Debono, Pullicino Orlando and Mugliett will soon turn out to be their offer of a poisoned chalice full of hemlock to the brim.

More is the pity if he allows them, and their Labour co-conspirators, to succeed in their nefarious plot.

Not only will that be the end of his hopes for deputy leader but it would write “finis” to more remote prospects of leadership of a rejuvenated post-election Nationalist Party.

What is enticing our MEPs to contest the general elections? Is there something which I’m missing?

Ok they will have a pension from the EU?

But what else would they have if people are against the “raise”, and these MP’s will probably work more with no office help and get a pittance in return?

And today in The Malta Independent on Sunday he shows utter and complete amnesia of what he did to the Nationalist campaign in 2008 with Mistragate.

And what about Franco Debono who approved Simon Busuttil like Jeffrey did, and still is in the PN? They are seeing Simon as the only hope for the PN for reconciliation.

Remember Labour had the same problem with Mintoff supporters who despised Sant. Sant always ignored this and had a problem to be elected. I think that the PN should learn from Labour’s past problems, and present itself to the electorate as a united force.

Can I kindly ask you a question? Why are you so supportive of the British system of parliament, where there is a near system of democracy and here in Malta it is wrong to have a government MP not voting in line of the government?

[Daphne – We HAVE the ‘British system’, Luigi. It’s called the Westminster model. What we don’t have is the British sense of fair play. It is not a vote against one’s own team that makes for approval or disapproval, but the motivation and malice in that vote. Jeffrey, Franco and Jesmond did not vote (or abstain) as they did to further the interests of their constituents or because of their conscience, or for the good of the country. They are and were motivated by sheer malice, and nobody decent could possibly approve of that. You are wrong to approve of overtures to the unbalanced and the sociopathic, whichever politician makes them. It’s called amoral pragmatism, and embedded within any such action is the petard by which practitioners of this line of thinking are eventually hoist. As, indeed, was Sant himself.]
