I have to follow the Independent online as I’m more often outside Malta than in. I can’t fail to see comments on your opinion pieces by one James Alexander Tyrell. Apart from coming across as a pompous bombastic hick (and venomous to boot) I would like to know whether he’s a resident of Malta, pays his full taxes, or whether he sits abroad making ridiculous and inane comments. That’s all. Thanks.

e.g. part of the original posting:
For the paranoid, there is another way they could track you – By keeping the list of ID’s being checked, reverse look-up the IPs to see if the domains are out of Malta, build a list of names which seem to be checking their eligibility from abroad, and then try their luck with a court order to strike them off from the register. However that period has closed coz it was till the end of October (the PL already submitted their list) so you’re safe for the upcoming election.

Possibly the OP was wrong regarding the end of October thing, the OP is not a lawyer and only got that information from the The Times and the EC website.

Not at all, I’m saying that the original message contained that the original site is hosted by Maltastar :))

[Daphne – I’ve lost you now, sorry. Even if the original email message contained the information that the site is hosted by Maltastar, the current email message does not, and it is being passed around to people who are being hoodwinked into using it.]

The technical information was never challenged, that’s the most amusing part – the original message contained that information as part of the message!! :)))

[Daphne – You’re a bit confused. That’s a screen shot I took of the technical information.]

Mrs Caruna Galizia, at the moment you are like the last kid passing the message to the original creator and the group – and you’d be extremely amused at how the message changed!! This was never started by the Labour Party in disguise but by someone disgusted that this service is not provided by the Electoral Commission themselves!

[Daphne – The technical information cannot be challenged. The site is hosted by Maltastar.]

[Daphne – If you were on the electoral roll already, and have not received legal papers for your removal, then you are on it and there’s no need to check. You can’t be removed without your knowledge and without action in court. So basically, there is no need to check. That’s why this is an exercise in collecting information about people who might be living and working abroad.]

The first highlighted area shows that there would have been some text saying “for further information please call the Electoral office on 2124 9900 or send an email to myvote@maltastar.com

The second highlighted area shows that they are using google analytics to track anyone who is using the site.

PN would do well to emulate their adversaries. If 1500 votes tipped the balance last time round, then every Maltin ta’ barra vote (NOT the Australians) counts.
