[Daphne – Unbelievable, so I won’t even bother.]

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.

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.

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.

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’.

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?

‘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.

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.

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?]
