Franco, I do admire you to a certain extent.  In the long run your contribution to politics will be more noticeable.  I think Malta needs more people like you (with less self flattery).  I am suspicious of &#039;yes&#039; men in politics and we get too much of this in the LP.

Voting against the budget will not earn you anything but spite from the PN.  Once elected, the LP will treat you with contempt and brush you aside.]]></description>

I do hope Franco will read this: 

Franco, I think you may possibly spring a surprise on us all – and heap coals of fire on our head in doing so – if you vote in favour of the budget and then resign from Parliament and from the PN (whilst please refraining from saying ‘Ha, hudu go fikom’). 

In this way, you will show us all that some of your diatribes and bitter criticism were (possibly) based on principle and idealism and the final verdict will be : ‘ Franco wasn`t a bad sort after all - ma kienx mill-aghar sa l-ahhar -  and that ‘in fondo in fondo’  he is a Nationalist at heart’.

If you do so, we will forever suffer pangs of guilt for having lampooned you for so long after every outburst of yours.

 If, on the contrary, you intend to vote against the budget and against the Government, you will forever go down in the annals of history as a despised turncoat.]]></description>

You&#039;re not very far away from what i think is the truth. 

His ghost writers are probably people from within Labour structures.
