It looks like Labour is going to have a nine-week celebration, not a nine-week campaign

Labour will not have a campaign. It is clear that all they are planning is a long celebration that will end (in their mind) on the 12th of March. Of course they don’t have real plans. Every proposal will just be a carefully stage-managed gimmick. Just the extra fizz in a wrongly poured soft-drink that soon fizzles away and leaves your glass three quarters empty. Be wise people. 5 Years can be a big part of your child’s future.

At last, they’re going to get their long-awaited election time. Issa huma jmisshom jirbhu u hadd mhu se jcahhdilhom ic-cans!
Welcome back, Daphne. I hope you had a good rest. You look radiant in this photo.
This morning I woke up with a little trepidation because I was labouring under the illusion that after so many years in Opposition and a few mediocre electoral campaigns, the MLP would have finally got their act together and come up with a strong logo, punchy slogan and captivating billboards.
But no, they have been shown up for what they are: a group of incompetent people with not one original idea in their brains.
We are all having a good laugh on the social networks about their penchant for gimmicks and hot air but I stop laughing when I think that these fools might be running the country in a couple of months’ time.
Not only of their child’s future, but also of the individual voter’s own.
David Thake has described Labour’s plans to a T.
“Malta tagħna lkoll” – signed, Joseph Muscat.
And it is. Not because The Great Leader has declared it so. Which is the “partit tal-gimmicks” now, Dr Sant?
And precisely because Malta belongs to all of us, we are all duty bound to help prevent it being run by this bunch of charlatans.
Exactly, rest assured anyone with half a brain feels offended at the latest statement of fact.
When it comes from someone who openly declared on keeping his plans to himself, lest they’re taken up and implemented, if they’re any good ie, it becomes vile.
I’m not suprised he’s terrified at the prospect of being in charge of the preparations for 2018. He can’t do it alone he said.
Not such a waste of money then this Piano project, is it Joseph?
Unfortunately, the way I initially understood “Malta taghna lkoll” was in the Labour sense, i.e. ‘Gvern Laburista ghall-Laburisti biss’ – because literally translated, it means Malta is ours too.
And I fear that that will indeed be the case. I find it hard to believe otherwise when Joseph continues to do his best to reassure us that Malta will become ‘the people’s’ again. There should be no need to reassure us in this sense, yet he always makes it a point to do so.
More like a nine-week gestation…
David, why are you so worried?
Why are you trying to terrify people? Deep in your heart you are sure that Labour will win. So what?
You are still young and it is wise to experience a different type of politics.
Maybe this will result to be the best type of politics. Give the man a chance. Be a sport.
[Daphne – ‘Give the man a chance.’ My God, what a bad attitude. Being a sport is for sports, Mr Pace, not for decisions which affect the life of the nation for five long years and with consequences beyond that. I always wonder about adults who treat politics like some kind of game. Were they born with half a brain, or what?]
‘Maybe this will result in the best type of politics’.
Written by someone who couldn’t care less if it goes belly up, presumably.
Blame Joseph, Mr.Pace, as speculation is what you’ve been reduced to.
Mr Pace’s comments are proof positive of the shallowness and naivety the Labour Party relies on in its quest for power.
It has always thrived on the misinformed and semiliterate supporters to get votes which by any measure it does not deserve.
One cannot trust an administration which has repeatedly failed in its former flings at managing the country. It cannot keep harping about ‘forgetting the past’ when in its present form it has major ingredients of its horrific past.
No, Mr Pace, one doesn’t surgically remove a cancer then purposely reintroduce it by carelessness or by taking stupid ‘chances’.
If you really want to be a sport, you should vote for AD. After all, they’ve never been in power. Go on, give them a chance. Be a sport.
When Maltatoday launches another Sargas proposal dovetailing neatly with Labour’s press release on The Times, one can see where it’s going.
The catch is that as per their only proven application in Sweden(some things can’t be changed), the existing plant will have to be substituted with high pressure turbines.
And then they have the cheek to tell us it’s an open choice between Sargas and ‘other options’.
The problem here is Labour can abuse technical jargon to fool the public.
Daphne, you took the word ‘sport’ litirally. You should know better. I do not treat politics as sports. And I do not have ‘half a brain’ as you insinuated. When people are narrow minded and are afraid of a change, they can have ‘half a brain’. I did not insult anyone in my first comment.
John, I’m not in the habit of giving folks “a chance” at running the country.
If a politician wants my vote, then he/she has to convince me that the country will be better off with him/her at the helm than with someone else.
Muscat has not even attempted to do this. He expects to win by default “because it is the PL’s turn” or because as you put it “give him a chance”.
Chance is something I leave to lotteries and games. When it comes to decisions that affect my life and the lives of my kids I always think things through very, very carefully.
David, but, on the other hand, GonziPN left a havoc behind him. His party is shattered (and he was not wise enough to keep it united __ I am sure you agree, as otherwise we are living in different countries. He has a track record of making ‘foolish’ statements (The Brazil company; the fact that the price of a barrel of oil was 150 euros; The smart city sage, i.e. that more than 7000 people were supposed to be working there already, etc.). I seriously do not believe that he was trying to ‘pull his supporter’s leg’ in order to make a point.
This is why I cannot trust him. Sorry.
By the was, Happy New Year.
[Daphne – Unbelievable, so I won’t even bother.]
