Most of the Nationalists’ ex MPs, ex p/sects, and ex Ministers are doing their best to undermine their own party and hope for a Labour victory.

I wonder whether we shall see them celebrating with Labour supporters.

We might need to have an ambulance permanently parked behind future ministries and parliament within a few weeks. I cannot imagine these sexagenerian being able to take the pressure for long. Then they will be replaced by turips.

They also have a possibility of earning an EU MP pension of around 100K per year if they are elected or the pension and benefits of being a judge/magistrate if chosen by their Great Leader.

And to top it all, instead of going to the ‘universita tat-terza eta’ or at the ‘kazin tar-rahal’, they will be spending their mornings at the newly built Renzo Piano parliament telling us what to do, and their evenings stuffing their faces at parties.

What a life we’ve given them. Can’t they retire gracefully, hanina!
