The PN electoral programme is based on this and in fact Muscat “said” that if elected he will implement THIS budget.

Can you go any further?

Actually what the PN needs badly is a GOOD Secretary General who can move forward wilh political aggressiveness.

Vote PN and you get pension rises, increased children allowances and more peace of mind with less Debono Grech reminders.

There is a significant number of large multinational groups with similar operations in Malta, courtesy of us being in the EU and courtesy of a Nationalist government.

The problem with the PN is that they don’t blow their horn enough with the thousand real examples of the successes. For every failed Brazilian company there are hundreds of other successful ones.

It’s like a contest to find who’s more Socialist. I know Daphne will disagree, but I think PN’s message isn’t about self-reliance at all. Those of us who are self-reliant, the real Liberals that is, feel completely alienated by PN’s ideology.

Makes one wonder how comfortable his offspring and extended family feel rubbing shoulders with the average Labour supporter.

The 2013 electoral campaign is at the end of its second week and all we have witnessed so far are hawker-like yells of lower water and electricity tariffs, free healthcare, free education and now free child care.

What is worse is that the PN has been entrapped into the same mentality and is now in direct competition with tal-Labour, qiesna qedin fuq il-Monti.

What a feeble and boring electoral campaign this is developing into when the valid motivating forces should be seeking new, different and creative investment opportunities that lead to a growth in the economy with its inherent advantages.

For example, the British arm of Amazon is regarded as a “service company” rather than a retailer and as such it provides services to its European headquarters, which are based in Luxembourg, where the tax rate is lower.

In Google’s case, company accounts show that last year it raked in £2.6 billion in revenues from its UK operations, which are officially based in Ireland and this is where it pays its tax.

While chances such as these pass us by, the present promises by both political parties will likely lead to a reduction in our economic possibilities and as sources of tax dwindle because of lost work opportunities, lethargy will kick in.

Interesting comment. Please do elaborate. That’s one hell of a novel.

Is this a condomn advert?

Forsi ghax kien kapaci hafna. Meta ghamluh Chairman kien JILGHABHA TA’ NAZZJONALIST FERVENTI.

XJAH U MA TGHALLEM XEJN. Viva l-Labour, perit.
