For God’s sake, they’d better find some clear thinking political strategists to lead this campaign, because at this rate, Labour will win by 30 points. Here’s a tip for the Dar Centrali:

“Thus the expert in battle moves the enemy, and is not moved by him.”

This person is very dangerous and God forbid he gains power. He is already saying these things from the opposition, so imagine what he would be able to do if he is voted to govern our Island.

We will surely lose all that we have gained with the brains of Dr. Fenech Adami and Dr. Laurence Gonzi and it will be a pity for all Maltese both Nationalist and Labour of good faith.

My thoughts exactly. I was thinking exactly the same thing yesterday and this morning.

I try to see things from other people’s point of view. Perhaps they find it difficult to change residence.

Perhaps they are tied to Comino for a living. I don’t know.

However, I would move if my life depended on it, literally.

I’ve moved house with my family for less serious reasons. I really don’t know. Perhaps I see things differently.

Joseph Muscat will be doing a Mintoff – ‘jien nigi nit****ek mill-kostituzzjoni’?

“competitive dialogue” means a procedure in which any economic operator may request to participate and whereby the contracting authority conducts a dialogue with the candidates admitted to that procedure, with the aim of developing one or more suitable alternatives capable of meeting its requirements, and on the basis of which the candidates chosen are invited to tender.

Joe S, of course they know what an expression of interest is all about.

They have all the arrangements in place and when in government they will ride roughshod over all the institutions, the MEPA, HSE, etc.

Already, all the Labour mayors of the area are very comfortable with all the plans, even though they were were never consulted.

Maybe the only obstacle would be Astrid Vella with her protest walks in the countryside, demonstrations in Valletta, and sit-ins in Marsaxlokk and thereabouts during construction.

That’s not a war on bureaucracy, that would be a war on democracy as respected in the EU.

And it is EU laws that require complicated tendering requirements after the more important investors are selected through the expressions of interest.

And as far as I know, it would be only those who make it through the first phase that can tender in the second.
