Was abroad and am looking for the debate between Simon and the now deposed deputy leader Anglu Farrugia and Debono TV Hemm presence but cannot find them. Can you upload them on your blog?

[Daphne – Not possible. Go to tvm.com.mt, select Live and then choose the date and time of the show.]

In reply to Gbow. We know how Labour will handle these guys. People will be asking (literally): "Where's everybody?"

I had an inkling of what was going on, and that is why I am full of admiration for Lawrence Gonzi.

The man swallowed his pride and remained focused on the real issues.

His self belief was channelled in the right direction whereas Franco’s led him to destruction.

Lino Spiteri and co interpret such a virtue as a weakness and a loss of dignity. To me they are the hallmark of a great man.

Baxxter, Labour will give Franco a plum job at its own peril.

I too agree with you. Last Monday’s TVM programme did indeed harm our political class and to some extent that section of the electorate that preferred this rebellion and irrational bloke instead of a distinguished politician whose professional abilities, as a consequence of that wrong choice,are being benefited in Luxembourg.

Well said. Debono’s mental state should be the sole focus of the media’s attention. He is ill, and badgering him for his behaviour is akin to badgering a paraplegic for their inability to walk. On a separate, rather disconcerting note, it is a sad reflection on the state of our politics that it has taken someone in his mental state to draw national attention to some genuine gaping holes in the fabric of our democracy.

In reply to observer.

Not all floating voters called his buff and if he ever manages to form a Franco Dee political party, he will siphon off votes that would have naturally gone to the PN.

Labourites are brainwashed enough to keep voting Labour from cradle to grave as the PL is like a badly drawn tattoo to them and just as permanent.

Malta is like the USA of today in the fact that it is always a two party system when it comes to politics and there is no room for a real third contender, just the flakey political parties that don’t really matter and only help to give a veneer of real democracy taking place but they do take away votes from the Democrats mostly.

Franco can become the Ralph Nader of Malta if he can ever get the financial backing to actually form a political party.. something I seriously doubt that he can pull off but you never know as he could become a useful idiot for some well heeled group or the PL itself while supporting him incognito for their own interest.
