Yes, you are right, William’s father used to canvass for Patrick Holland.

But this was until 1979 when socialists broke into Dr Eddie Fenech Adami’s home in Birkirkara and beat up his wife and wrecked the place.

At that point, Wilfred Mangion tore up his Labour Party membership card and started canvassing for Dr Michael Refalo.

Mr Mangion continued to support the Nationalist Party until his death.

Quoting Daphne

“To make a convert, two things must be present: psychological weakness of one kind or another, and low or medium intelligence. It is these factors which make for vulnerability” and I add “sheer blatant opportunism”.

Touche.

I can see Eldarion’s point. I don’t support the Nationalist party but still vote for it, because its views and way of doing things is closer to what I think is right, compared to Labour’s. But they’re still too far off to really get my support.

Funny you should say so, because Stephen Farrugia and the ridiculous Letty Baldacchino are telling everyone to vote Labour over at Vivamalta.

Fancy calling yourself a Europid and voting for the anti-European Third-worldist party.

[Daphne – Arlette Baldacchino is the daughter of a Mintoff man, Alfred Baldacchino. He crossed the floor from the Opposition PN to the governing Mintoff party some time in the 1970s when we were at St Dorothy’s (in the same class) as I recall.]

As long as you’re not voting Labour, you’re fine.

Switch and be damned. Ghax jisputtanawk f’sekonda. Typical.

Eldarion before you comment about SmartCity, tell me something.

Late 2008, did you have the slightest idea that a financial collapse was just around the corner which would cause a world-wide recession?

Did you know that the investors who are financing SmartCity were hit hard and lost mountains of cash holdings? Do you know that major construction projects in that part of the world were put on hold?

Do you know that in the USA alone some 10 million are unemployed? Do you know that Canada has an unemployment rate of above 9% and ditto or worse in Britain? I will not quote numbers for Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece as I am sure you are quite familiar with their plight.

The point is that unforeseen circumstances change plans and one has to adapt to circumstances, like it or not.

Much ado is made of Dr Gonzi’s broken promise to cut income tax rates to 25% during the past legislature. How wise would that have been? Instead of losing millions in revenue, the PM chose to use those millions to shore up factories which were about to dismiss their employees and possibly close down permanently. It is estimated that a few million spent saved some 5000 jobs.

What would Labour have done, I wonder! I hesitate to even think. Joseph was lamenting not too long ago that had SmartCity been on stream it would have employed some 3000 by now, This week a software company planning to employ 15 new employees stated that in today’s market, it is finding it difficult to hire fifteen workers.
Maybe it is a blessing in disguise that SmartCity does not need to hire hundreds of workers or it would probably have had to import foreign workers.

Is it all right if I SUPPORT Imperium Europa and VOTE PN, Eldarion?
