Surely you mean Cosa Nostra.

At least the camorra never had designs to take over the state.

Exactly, he’s been promising a scandal in his video rants for years now, ‘fil-mument propizju’, you just wait and see.

Is this it?

Baxxter, are you serious?

This legislature has been riddled with those who won’t take no for an answer. It trickled down to mould Muscat’s basics.

Or even worse, those who think an alternative is still a no simply because they won’t change their mindset.

Have Joseph will expect.

This is where the paradigm shift you mention has to come into the equation. Even if it hurts.

Saying No means saying yes to contemporary thinking.

Remember when the mayor of Paola mumbled something about the whirring noise made by the automatic doors on buses?

Or the notorious revised salaries? It turns out this cabinet was the cheapest ever. Lot of grumbling then, backbenchers, ex-ministers and their established entourage of businessmen, contractors and whatnots.

I mean, if politics is also how short the electorate’s memory is, you’re right. Still, that won’t take us anywhere.

Very well said

Please, do tell us when Sammut stopped being a member of the oil procuring board.

[Daphne – Get with the story, Silvio. HE NEVER WAS A MEMBER OF THE OIL PROCUREMENT BOARD.]

Who told you that the tax is going to be removed completely?

Was it Gonzi or Fenech?

She’s been a pain in the arse for so long now, it’s only fair that she gets a sore butt herself.

Call me a grizzled old cynic, but I think you’ve a touch too much faith in politics and its power to to create universal well-being.

No one, no matter how competent or honest, can “improve Malta for everyone”.

There are a million things that can go wrong in any person’s life, and if we all have our place on the bell curve, then some of us will end up as losers.

Just about the only thing that politicians can do is to manage the world’s limited resources in the most efficient way.

Visions just won’t do.

PN’s vision is, in the grand Christian Democratic tradition, “to put every single person at the centre of our politics”. Yeah, right.

Four hundred and twenty thousand conflicting interests all at the centre. Impossible.

Politics is not the art of the possible. It’s the art of saying No. That’s one lesson which PN has forgotten.

As for MLP, I won’t dignify them with a comment.
