If you hang around till midnight, you might see Joseph turn into a pumpkin

Published: January 6, 2013 at 10:44pm

The Labour Party has said that it will launch its campaign at the stroke of midnight.

Why?

Is Joseph Muscat going to turn into a pumpkin, like Cinderella’s carriage?

As a friend said on Facebook:

Labour is hoping that if it throws enough gimmicks and PR into the air (like midnight launches – who are we imitating? Apple?) people might forget that it is policies that are needed to run a country.

    Welcome back! We missed you terribly. We needed a bit of humour.

    Daphne, I hope you had a nice Christmas and best wishes for the new year to you and your readers.

    Is it right for Labour to serve beef at 00.01am in the morning? I don’t think my stomach can digest that, and I am working tomorrow.

    i was going to tell you that both sides work their best on the gimmicks so your political argument doesnt really make sense.. but in reality all i wanted to tell you is that that pumpkin is prettier than you :) goodnight sabiha

    So glad you’re back. Hope you had a happy Christmas and a terrific start to a new year that will see you being very pleasantly surprised with a P.N. victory.

    Oh, and it’s lovely to see your smiling face while “talking” to you.

    How nice to hear from you. For a moment I thought you turned into something else yourself… But I am sure you are now more energised than ever. Looking fwd to your updates

    Good to have you back, Daphne.

    Welcome Back Daphne

    Well Daphne welcome back. We missed you a lot. Joseph said he will launch its campaign one minute after midnight.

    Muscat always did things the wrong way.

    The prime minister to-morrow have to go to the president to tell him to dissolve the parliament, after the parliament is dissolved than both parties will launch their campaign. That’s how things should be done.

    He has no clue how things are done. Vera zatat. Gesu ehlisna minn dan is-salib.

    Thank goodness, you’re back! I hope you enjoyed Christmas and had good holidays.

    A countdown to election period; it can’t get anymore ridiculous than that. It’s not like we were being governed by Muammar Ghaddafi, and even if were, they wouldn’t have dared pull off such a charade. Countdown indeed.

    And your picture makes such a pleasant change to Anglu Farrugia’s.

    In precisely 20 minutes’ time, Joseph Muscat will lift the last veil and we will finally see his magic solution for reducing utility bills.

    But not water bills. Anglu Farrugia already gave that game away.

    OMG Super One has a count down to 12.01am.

    Guess apart from the myriad of grey billboards that sprung all over Malta, Labour also want tomorrow’s front pages for themselves. Maybe at last one will get to know the roadmap… hopefully without the need for a GPS.

    Welcome back – hope you had a great Christmas and best wishes for the New Year. Missed you.

    The pumpkin just burst at the seams, a little bit too early:

    “Labour Leader Dr Joseph Muscat has just tweeted the theme of the Partit Laburista’s electoral campaign: “Malta Tagħna Lkoll – Malta For All”.

    The official launch will be done at midnight, live on ONE TV.”

    What I would really like to know is WHAT are their plans for our country. They just want to be in power, but have not yet told us what they intend doing once they get there.

  16. just me says:

    Welcome back, Daphne. You were greatly missed. Many best wishes for the new year.

    Hope Labour is not using Apple Maps for its roadmap.
