Is this how they plan to run Malta – by asking us to click Like on Facebook?
A strange sect called Malta Taghna Lkoll has been sending out the email pictured here. If we like it, we should click Like on Facebook and help the sect reached 25,000 Likes – because, you know, setting a record for 25,000 Facebook likes is going to be a record in Maltese politics.
I’m guessing that this is how Labour plans to run Malta: instead of white papers on legislation and discussion about policy, we’re going to be directed to Facebook to click Like.
After 48 years of living in a country dominated by the most incredible crassness and stupidity of people who were still voting for Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici in 1992 and for Alfred Sant in 2008, I didn’t think it was possible to dumb things down any further.
But it is. Just look.

Oh, so it’s ‘shorter hospital waiting times’ now.
Didn’t they say they wanted to eliminate waiting lists? That is the impression we were given.
If these are the only problems facing the Maltese economy, why should we actually vote the Nationalist Party out?
They don’t even have the decency to format a mail merge well….
Dear,
Dear, who?
So unprofessional and void of online ethic.
Before Anglu Farrugia was fired from the PL he had over 5000 Facebook friends. So what is the big deal in getting 25,000 likes on Facebook if Anglu managed 5000 friends on his own?
Let’s report it 25000 times to Facebook, then. Spread the word.
Now we know how Muscat plans to hear our voice on government company boards. Just a click away on a Facebook page.
maltafootball.com has 17k+ Likes. Maybe they should contest the election.
Labour say that education is not about gadgets and giveaways.
So what’s the whole thing regarding the tablet for Year 4 students? Ensuring a form of cutting edge education is given to these children (only)?
This is Joey’s Muscat idol – http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2269938/France-totally-bankrupt-jobs-minister-admits-concerns-grow-Hollandes-tax-spend-policies.html
Obviously by ‘liking’ you also wilfully sign up to receive propaganda material from the PL. That is the real aim – to reach as wide an audience as possible.
Hints of Movimento Cinque Stelle.
Problem is, that movement materialised on Grillo’s blog. When the number of hits and contributions became unmanageable the blog was developed into virtual sections and so it started.
At one point the decision to contest local council elections was taken, the rest is history.
It was never an established political party whitewashing itself. It also refuses mainstream media, especially TV.
Democracy, according to those people, cannot be unilateral.
Envisaged to elect at least 80 newcomers to the house this February, their declared agenda is to provide an authentic opposition.
Yes, that’s it, being in opposition, according to these people, has its merit.
Remember the time when Mintoff read out his letter to George Bush (sr) at one of his mob meetings? The crowd were then asked to vote in favour of sending the letter by raising their hand. And so they did.
Now they do it on Facebook.
I am one of Anglu Farrugia’s friends. Facebook is such a marvellous invention.
I thought that was what the election was for, silly me. Why bother to vote if you can just click like on Facebook
