Eddie (Eddy) Privitera has been busting a gut all over timesofmalta.com, doing his best to ward people off voting for Dr. Busuttil. What a ridiculous figure the old boy has become.
The anti-logic he spews out really beggars belief. He quite obviously knows that with said candidate assisting Dr. Gonzi, then the chances of a PN election victory would seem terrifyingly less unlikely! I think the guy is just worried that he may never see another MLP government in his lifetime.
Eddie (Eddy), I know you’re reading this. Don’t you realise that your nonsense, you of all people, would only strengthen the resolve of the PN councillors voting for Dr. Busuttil today? It may even grab him a few votes that would otherwise have gone to Dr. Fenech.
Privitera is a one-man circus.
Watch him running after his own tail on the capon’s blog.

Can’t understand why all this fuss. Busuttil was slated for a major role in the PN’s electoral effort anyway.
That he will win the contest is beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Because, had he to lose, his prominent role in the electoral campaign would be in danger. You cannot parade a losing candidate, can you? This election is as much exciting as those elections in Communist times, always ending with a grand victory for the ruling party!
And I noticed that Busuttil this morning said that with this process the PN has managed to rekindle enthusiasm within its ranks. Oh, then the Dalli affair was really very, very convenient? The PN’s good luck never seems to run out, now, does it?
You’d know about elections in communist times. They were our buddies then, teaching us interrogation techniques.
At least in the PN the one with the most votes wins, unlike in Malta under a Labour government.
You can call it good luck if it makes you happy, but just wait for the election result Albert. As to predictability I’ll venture to say that Tusk Force will then tell us the Nationalists bought votes, the result is not valid and that the new PN government won’t last eighteen months.
“The PN’s good luck never seems to run out, now, does it?”
Thank goodness for that.
Actually, it’s more than ‘good luck’. It’s the power to change within change itself. The world outside is changing fast and while tal-lejber are stuck with dinasours from the Mintoff era the PN has seen 25 years of change and remained young and full of vigour.
Compare that with those locked within the glass tower at Mile End and you’ll soon see if ‘luck’ has anything to do with it.
It’s not good luck, Albert, it’s simply being sharp and rigorous.
Dalli was a consequence not a convenient cause.
It is very nice to remind us of the communists’ times when your party strove to emulate them.
I have just had enough of Mr Shameless Eddy Privitera. can anyone PLEASE PLEASE run some research about his role in the Golden Years. The Bulk Buying System was one of them.
Seems Simon has made it. Don’t know about the two thirds though.
Simon elected – Next stop – General Elections
There is still some common sense left in the PN. Simon won the deputy leader election (615 votes from 885).
72 – 28 isn’t what one can reasonably call close, now, is it? And it couldn’t ever have been close till as late as 7:30 pm unless around 44% of the councillors voted at the last minute or perhaps even after the counting started.
Please tell me that Simon will not give in to Franco’s cry that the councillors want reconciliation.
Debono deserves a polite but firm NO. Anything else will be an insult to the rest of us who have patiently stood by while we watched a maniac try to destroy a government and were disgusted.
It would be surreal if Simon were to revoke the ban allowing Franco to contest in a district alongside candidates he so openly attacks.
Let’s piss off Franco and take over ‘his’ ideas instead shall we?
Those districts deserve feedback, not Franco’s blackmail. The first thing Simon could do is to visit all the clubs Franco refuses to enter.
Simon Busuttil qabel is-sena 2004, qalilna li jekk noqodu fuqu u nivvutaw favur li Malta tkun parti mill Unjoni Ewropeja, pajjizna jigwadanja hafna. Rizultat bla dubju 100 %, imnalla hadna il- parir tieghu.
Joe Muscat, Alfred Sant etc, qalulna li shubija shiha fl-Unjoni Ewropeja mhiex l-aqwa ghazla. Rizultat 0 % biex wara Joseph Muscat kien min ta l-ewwel li ghazel li jmur MP fi Brussels u issa Alfred Sant se jiprova jmur hu wkoll. Ghalihom biss l-aqwa ghazla.
Mela Maltin u ghawdxin. Issa Simon sar il- Vici tal- mahbub Prim Ministru ta Malta Gonzi. Simon se jaghmel min kollox biex naghtu rigal lil Prim Ministru u lil Malta ta dak kollu li ghaddejna minnu f`dawn il-Hames snin u li xorta wahda, hdejn pajiizi ohra xorta bqajna Ekonomikament mexjin tajjeb.
Simon bhal ma fdajnih f`dak li weghdna fit 2004, li Malta se tiehu l- frott malajr mill-Unjoni Ewropeja il-bierah weghdna li se jghin lil Lawrence Gonzi bla waqfin biex fil hames snin li gejjin jahdmu izjed min qatt qabel, mill qrib mal poplu Malti. kULLHADD JAF MIN JGHID IL-VERITA BEJN IL-PN U PL.
5 snin bi tfixkiel min kullimkien, dan il- gvern xorta wahda mexxiena ahjar milli qedin pajjizi ohra. Allura 5 snin ohra, zgur li ma jistax jinqalaw problemi aktar milli nqalaw ghal dan il-gvern, araw x`kisbiet kapaci jaghmel Dr Gonzi bl-ghajnuna ta Dr Busuttil u il- kabinett il gdid li se jkolna fil legislatura li gejja. Ninvestu ghal l-edukazjoni ta` uliedna, f`sahhitna u biex ikompli jinholoq ix-xoghol. NIVVUTAW PN BI HGARNA.
The problem of Labour is that they always insist on continually promoting the same people.
Self promotions are the order of the day under Labour whether it is the drydocks, their party or any other public institution – it just doesn’t ever change. They have no notion of the term change.
