    Do they add the “No” votes with the abstentions in the EU Parliament to determine the result of a voting session?

    They had better make the rules clear before Alfred Sant starts pressing the “No” and “Abstain” buttons simultaneously.

  2. Stacey says:

    This is the man who people have so much to thank him for, and now they want a change. I ask again, a change to what exactly? From what I know.

  3. Grezz says:

    Of course he has no regrets! With hindsight, he can trot off to live off an MEP’s salary, whilst leaving us saddled with the ginger poodle as prime minister. As he once infamously said, the proof of the pudding …

  4. Grezz says:

    Can anyone dig out a video of that infamous TVM debate, where Joseph Muscat rudely heckled Fenech Adami to the end, in what was the last televised pre-EU referendum debate?

  5. Harry Purdie says:

    Just what we need, another Labour weirdo to represent us in Brussels.

    Oh well, his expense account should cover his booze and ‘hair’ stylist.

  6. ciccio says:

    I can’t wait to see Alfred Sant teaching the MEPs a lesson on how to “inbazwru ftit ‘l hawn u nbazwru ftit ‘l hemm” in drawing up EU Directives. Without any regrets, of course.

  7. Zelig says:

    What Dr Lawrence Gonzi said then still stands today. That is why people with half a brain will still vote PN.

    People tend to forget

    You know what they say folks: If you can’t beat them……

  11. Issiccu says:

    This Alfred Sant stunt reminds me of the Putin – Medvedev swap.

    It is simply unbelievable how a JM with such big aspirations of becoming the PM of Malta, can project such an idea to the public in general! They both think we are all makku!

    Alfred Sant should take up fishing or some other hobby other then represent us in the European Parliament!

  12. Hibernating in Malta says:

    I’ve gone through this and a view other 2008 PN vids on youtube and realised how nothing from that ‘misprint’ manifesto has changed, except for the excuses. I’ve noted a few comparisons on my blog if anyone would like to read about them.

  13. Dr Francis Saliba says:

    Dr Franco Debono has now admitted that he “is the only one to have the GALL to stand up to Austin Gatt”. Someone should kindly explain to him what “having the gall” means, to make better user of any ghost writer he may have or to engage a new one if he hasen’t any. To “have the gall” means to be impudent” – not that FD has not already given many examples of impudence.

  14. Aunt Hetty says:

    Is there a limit to how much money a potential candidate is supposed to spend to promote himself?

    Plenty of letterboxes in several electoral districts seem to have received of late, promotional material in the form of small glossy pamphlets with a list of Edward Scicluna’s achievements.

    Kif tissaporti tara lil Gonzi jitkellem b’dik it-tbissima u dak il-lehen, and you don’t see through it? Beats me.

  16. Tinnat says:

    Been ‘out of circulation’ for a while, so I’m not sure this comment has been made before. It looks to me that Joseph is giving Sant a golden handshake – Brussels is the only place where Sant will not be a threat to Muscat as PM. Memories of Mintoff’s last coup over Sant – which cost him the government – come to mind.

    • Tinnat: Inzetta li Dr. Sant RAGEL FUQ L-IRGIEL ! Xi haga li rari ssib f’GonziPN !

      • tinnat says:

        Your point being, Eddy Privitera?

      • Angus Black says:

        Irgiel fuq irgiel ma jnehhux taxxa ta 18% u jaqlibuha f’wahda ta 23%, jew jintaxxa c-certifikati tat-tobba, jgholli t-tariffi tad-dawl u l-ilma m’gholha s-sema meta l-prezz taz-zejt kien $12 il-barmil.
        L-irgiel m’ghandhomx irjus taz-zonqor ghax fl-ahhar mill-ahhar isibu min ikissirilhom bhal ma ghamillu Mintoff.
        Meta jsir MEP, siehbek ‘ir-ragel fuq l-irgiel’ se jkollu hin iktar biex jikteb ir-rumanzi bhal ma Joseph (kien qal) kiteb ‘roadmep’ ta 15 il-sena waqt li kien qed jithallas ta MEP u li s’issa ghadna qatt ma rajna. L-anqas programm elettorali ma kien kapaci jfassal ghax l-ewwel ‘kien qed jinkiteb’ imbaghad ‘lest’, u wara ‘qed nircievu idejat godda’ w d-diska ghadha taghqad.
        Il-Laburisti stess ma jistghux jifhmu l-ghala ir-ragel Jowzef qed jahbi l-pjan li ghandu biex irahhas id-dawl minghajr ma jgholli t-taxxi. Imma l-imzazen xorta jivvutawlu ghax mhux kapaci jghoddu n-numri w jindunaw kemm hi haga impossibbli jekk ma jaqtax servizzi bazici fil-kamp tas-sahha kif ukoll ta l-edukazzjoni.

  17. Ara min irid jghid lil Alfred Sant li dahaq bin-nies- l-istess bniedem li ilu jghaddi passata lill-poplu Malti KEMM ILU PRIM MINISTRU 1 Pero illum Franco Debono daqqlu l-mota tal-funeral ta’ GonziPN !

    • Chris Ripard says:

      Saqsi lil dawk li rabtu il-cash register mat-trakk minn dahaq b’min, Eddy.

    • TROY says:

      Nahseb Franco Debono qieghed idoqq tieghu stess, Sur Privitera.

    • RJC says:

      Mela insejt meta l-mahbub Leader il-Kbir Mintoff daqq il-mota tal-funeral ghal Sant fl-1998 Sur Eddy?

      Kemm tisthu tal-lejber issemu dawk it-22 xahar fil-gvern? U kemm titniggzu meta xi hadd isemmughhomlkom.

    • haga mohgaga says:

      U Joseph Muscat x’inhu jaghmel – mhux jidhak bin-nies ukoll bil-kont tad-dawl u ilma?

      Tant hu hekk li qas irid jghid kemm irid innaqashom u kif! Forsi tghidilna int ed, KIF U KEMM?

    • etil says:

      Xi dwejjaq fik, Sur Privitera. Oqghod attent illi ma itikx xi attak ta’ qalb bl-ecitament jekk jitighu tal-Labour. Zomm kalm.

  18. Dr Francis Saliba says:

    If we carry on like this the Labour Party will soon change the European Parliament into a refuse skip for its rejects..

  19. silvio says:

    Why shouldn’t Sant have the right to change his mind?

    Times change and we all have to do likewise.

    Ask Dr. Tonio, who changed his mind on so many of his principles.

    [Daphne – He didn’t. Wasn’t this what all the fuss was about?]

    • Dr Francis Saliba says:

      Dr Tonio Borg spoke on TV to a very wide audience and was applauded. He called the European Socialists’ bluff by giving a signed document that confirmed what he had said in the hearing of everybody interested. And yet we stll hear from some decerebrate or blindfolded individuals the silly lie that Dr Tonio had changed his mind, that he had humiliated himself when the truth is that he humiliated and annihiliated the opposition.

  20. etil says:

    Jekk jitilghu tal-Labour fil-gvern.

  21. ciccio says:

    If Alfred Sant is keen to become a Member of the European Parliament, what is he waiting for?

    Can’t Sant ask Joseph (Hu Emanuel) Cuschieri to relinquish his seat in the EP in favour of Sant?

    ‘Hu Emanuel’ Cuschieri shouldn’t find this too hard – he’s given up a parliamentary seat before.

  22. Riya says:

    Dan Alfred Sant mhux bizzejjed waqa ghan nejk hawn Malta bhala politikant!

    Issa sejjer l-Ewropa ha jkompli iwaqqana ghan nejk.

    Pero’ nahseb ghandu cans li jaghmel xi kapolavur iehor jekk intihom xi hjil biex inehhu il-VAT u jivvinta xi froga ohra hu bhal ma’ kien ghamel f’Malta.

    Jew jispjegaljom kif meta wiehed jitlef referendum ikun rebah.
