&quot;There are other Nationalist, like me, who this time around are voting for Labour! “ 

Marley , I know one whose line of thinking is precisely like yours. His name is Franco Debono and we saw him getting hot under the collar because he could not convince Norman who was “interrupting” him because no answers for genuine questions were forthcoming.

In plain street talk, Marley wants to buy this new car which is being advertised by an ill-reputed dubious company which in the past manufactured various dangerous car models. 

He prefers risking life and limb with this prototype car rather than buying the same brand which by and large served his requirements but had several punctures. 

He wants to convince us that  changing the tyres won&#039;t solve this problem.

He wants the prototype car which will be marketed on the 7th of January 2013, no matter how much it will cost him.

He’s more than sure that it’s a better car even though the vice chairman of the ill-reputed car company doesn’t have an idea what the features of this new car are.

Hallina, Marley! Aghzel ir-rigali tal-Milied b’aktar ghaqal mill-ghazla li se taghmel ghal-gvern.

Nixtieqlek Milied hieni u snin mimlija rizq iktar milli kellek dawn l-ahhar snin.]]></description>

&quot;SWEETHEART&quot; ... you are so DEAD WRONG! ... BUT if it consoles YOU to think that of me, so be it! ... YES, Nationalists, as well as Laburisti,  with an OPEN MIND who have had ENOUGH of their government, will at times TURN, unless they were so BRAINWASHED for so many years, that they can not bring themselves to think on their own.

I know that the majority of voters who do not want to vote for &#039;their&#039; party will at times WASTE their vote, by voting for the &#039;third party&#039; or &#039;independent individual&#039; ... BUT let&#039;s face it, Malta only has TWO parties, and I would rather abstain from voting than WASTE my vote! 

Before I close, I&#039;d have you know that there are other Nationalist, like me, who this time around are voting for Labour! ... IF you consider us to be Laburisti, in order to console yourself, so be it.  IF you want to call us FLOATERS, again, no problem! ... AFTER ALL, its people who think like I do, that determines who gets elected at the very end.  IF Labour does get elected this time around, I&#039;ll see how their 5 year term goes, but in any event, I will have no regrets for TURNING this coming election, and you, my DEAR &quot;SWEETHEART&quot;, can count YOURSELF one of my reasons for TURNING.

Wishing you and yours a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - &lt;em&gt;&#039;There are other Nationalist, like me, who this time around are voting for Labour!,,,IF you consider us to be Laburisti, in order to console yourself, so be it. IF you want to call us FLOATERS, again, no problem!&quot;&lt;/em&gt;One is what one votes, Marley, not what one calls oneself. In the same way that what makes you a billionaire is having a billion euros at least, and not calling yourself a billionaire or thinking of yourself as one, so what makes you a Nationalist or a Laburist is the way you vote. If you support Labour, then you are a Labour supporter. Obviously - but then I shouldn&#039;t expect somebody with your IQ level to work this out. Oh, and people who switch are switchers not floaters.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

&#039;Yes, I believe the PN has done a lot of good things, these past 25 years.

Any government that rules for such a long period of time, needs to be CHANGED!

I believe our current government and its people have EXTENDED their stay, and it is time for a CHANGE!&#039; 

Where do I start?]]></description>

&quot;The PN keeps bringing up the 1970′s and 1980′s”.

Marley, if you really were a Nationalist you would not have forgotten 1996-1998 and if you are a true Laburist (which you are) you would try to dismiss those Alfred Sant years. 

From my experience, I can tell you that if you are in middle management you shouldn’t be living from hand to mouth. As for your pity towards low income earners, I would tell you to stop worrying because as soon as one&#039;s income goes down, income tax/NI contributions will go down while social services shoot up.

If the “basic wage” earners start scraping the bottom they will be entitled to more help: if they have children studying they will have extra financial help and subsidies on their water and electricity bills.

Yours are crocodile tears for the &quot;basic wage&quot; earner.

I love these Damascene letters; one can spot their lack of authenticity from a mile away.]]></description>
