“. ex-communist countries sometimes still elect MPs from the communist regime era..”

Democracy takes time to take hold and the process is slow. Besides people had been so used to the ‘former Communist comrades, that they think that electing them in a new ‘democratic’ system is quite all-right since the rules changed.

When Jesmond Mugliett’s pet project – the Regional Road Bridge – started being implemented, the civil engineering consultants discovered that the pylons constructed in the early 60s by the Taiwanese (or South Koreans?) were so tough and resistemt that special machinery had to be brought over at extra cost to cut through and demolish.

In fact they commented that the bridge did not need to be completely reconstructed but required maintenance at certain points. But the percentage on a total reconstruction project is so much higher than on an extended maintenance contract.

In reply to H.P. Baxxter. Marco Cremona isn't either, albeit on a tightrope. He more or less repeated AD's position.

In reply to H.P. Baxxter. Yip you're right and he's not the only one on that list who's not in favour which is why I said some will be vanishing from it over the coming weeks

In reply to bob-a-job. Ah, but they haven't listed there those businesses which have shown major interest in the project, as stated by Joseph Muscat in his public speeches or to the media. Why are they hiding them?

In reply to On the square. Evarist Bartolo should be brought in to investigate the Labour power station proposal. Maybe he can tell us if there is any hint of connections with the Freemasonry.

In reply to Jien Jien Jien.

And you think it will have any effect. I think you are epitomising the over-confidence and over-reliance the PN had on its media, rhetorical skills and propoganda. Most of the time it worked, but not this time apparently. Most people are tired of it.

If the Cyprus credibility argument, one of the strongest the PN had, did not work by now, do you think that this will work ?
The democratic world is full of Socialist Parties to begin with, and in no way the voters of today will equate this Labour Party with the one of the past, even if few faces are still around.

If people in some ex-communist countries sometimes still elect MPs from the communist regime era, and they function and abide by democratic rules, do you think that you are going to impress by throwing Alex Sciberras Trigona or Karmenu Vella?

So far, nothing worked.
