Mario Mallia of AD is on TV now, telling people to vote for them (and elect Joseph Muscat)
Vote AD, get this.
Perhaps it’s time for me to remind everyone what happened in the MEP elections of 2004, when around 20,000 people who usually vote PN decided it was OK in an EP election to vote for the AD candidate (Arnold Cassola).
The result? Labour – who had been fighting tooth and claw against EU membership until just the previous year – got THREE SEATS WHILE THE NATIONALISTS WHO TOOK US INTO EUROPE GOT JUST TWO.
And bloody Arnold buggered off to Italy and got a safe seat there.
Allura tajjeb, nivvota AD minflok PN biex imbaghad jitla sparat Joseph Muscat. Ma tarax. The situation is bad enough as it is without AD hacking away at the fringes and working to make this the Labour government with the most parliamentary seats in decades.

Luciano Busuttil is back on, talking about how the Labour Party DOESN’T BELIEVE IN PERSONAL ATTACKS AND NEVER DOES ANYTHING OF THE SORT. The dissonance between what they say with such conviction, and what really happens, is enough to make you think you’ve wandered into somebody else’s surreal dream.
The Labour Party is all about hideous slander and character assassination. It has a huge media machine for the purpose, an evil machine. Jozef Stalin would have been proud if he’d been alive today.

Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.

Daphne, why is Joseph Muscat urging his supporters to vote early in the day?
[Daphne – So that they won’t have all day to change their minds.]
Daphne,
You are being downright dishonest, and doing a disservice to the PN.
You may censor this comment as you did to the previous ones.
[Daphne – I haven’t censored any comments. There are 258 queued up.]
D. Borg – how so? You can’t just make such a statement and not qualify it.
Most likely scenario:
Distrett PN MLP

how nice!
Yes, after being undecided, I now am going to vote Alternattiva. The two parties are both corrupt. Proof is in what they are saying about each other.
No it is not arrogance that Alternattiva MP will hold a parliament to ransom. These corrupt parties needs someone to check their arrogance and corruption.
[Daphne – Ah, I see. And who will hold AD, with its single ‘Franco and Jeffrey’ seat, in check? Nobody. We saw, precisely with Franco and Jeffrey, how that is impossible. It is hugely undemocratic to say that you want a party with a single seat to control the entire parliament. Disgraceful.]
By the way Daphne ,the height of arrogance in Malta was reached when the PN awarded it self 600Euro a week secretly while everybody got 1.16 Euro
[Daphne – It wasn’t like that and you know it. ‘The PN’ awarded itself nothing. If it’s taxes you’re worried about, rather than simple annoyance at people earning money for a job done, then you should have worked out by now that Joseph’s cabinet is going to cost far more, with or without the salary adjustment, simply because it is going to be much larger.]
The two parties are both corrupt? How? Proof is in what they SAY to each other?
So far, the only known culprits hauled before the courts have been all from the Labour side. Not to mention the amateurish frame-up concocted against Austin Gatt which was disproved almost immediately.
And not to mention the scandal of Joseph Muscat and Toni Abela not reporting the drug trafficking being carried out in their own back yard.
Voting for AD is like voting for Labour. They are hoping that by pressing on ths 2,000 votes scenario, they will convince disgruntled PN voters to vote for AD instead of MLP, to switch but not all the way.
The truth is, no Labour supporters are going to vote AD. Do we want or need a repetition of what happenned over the last 5 years, where we had a one seat majority?
Vote for who has proven that they can achieve, not just by ‘wishing’ and promising the world, but by hard facts….the economy, tourism, peace of mind and record employment levels. Is it that hard to see?
Would people risk all they have today just for the sake of change? The grass is always greener on the other side, but wake up from this dream. This is OUR country we are talking about.
Make sure you won’t be living a nightmare. Hopefully all those who where contemplating voting Labour or voting AD will realise that Labour haven’t changed and just want this election too badly.
They are spending hundreds of thousands of euros and promising the world to everyone, as long as they win the election.
God only knows if they don’t, what the repercussions would be.
Lastly, a great American Presdent JF Kennedy once said ” ask what you can do for your country and not what your country can do for you”.
Exactly. Repercussions will be great so the PL just cannot afford to lose out, not this time. They are well supported financially by what we call the richest families on this tiny island and some nouveau riche ones too. God knows what business these people run ! But we should keep all this in mind for the future, whenever that may be.
Yes, Daphne I agree that ministers should get much more then they do, as that way we can attract a wider and more intelligent politicians. But not getting the money secretly and deciding themselves how much.
Even Dr Gonzi admited that it was a ‘mistake’. Recently I was hearing on the BBC about an African backward country whose president and politicians decided to increase their own salaries. I was reminded of here so much.
Sure it was a mistake. It was a mistake to trust Labour. It wasn’t quite a secret. They agreed a deal with Labour, Labour strung them along and then reneged on the deal once it happened. That’s the mistake Gonzi is referring to.
The PL will not only receive a helping hand from frustrated PN voters who will vote AD instead, but also from The Times.
It is so obvious with its articles that it wants the PL to win, whatever the arcane reason for that might be.
It is presenting itself as the newspaper of the ‘floating voters’ while it knows very well that floaters are nothing of the sort.
Reading between the lines of what its two most famous journalists write (are their articles actually read by the Editor before they go for print?), one would expect The Times to print a huge headline on its front page:
Change is good for you: vote PL.
Labour actually got 4 seats to the Nationalist 2 seats when Malta was eventually given its 6th seat.
Actually if people were not fearful of cross-voting and a few PN voters gave Arnold Cassola their no. 8 or no.9 vote in 2004 we would not have had Louis Grech as an MEP.
[Daphne – People are not fearful of cross-voting at all. Thousands of people gave Simon Busuttil their number 1 vote and then carried on with Labour. Louis Grech was not a contender in 2004. You’re confused.]
Really? Louis Grech was elected in 2004 along with Joseph Muscat and John Attard Montalto. Get your facts right.
[Daphne – I meant that Louis Grech was NOT A CONTENDER WITH THE PARTICULAR SOCIAL PROFILE WE’RE DISCUSSING, because in 2004 they voted for AD and not for him. But in 2009, they switched from AD to Louis Grech.]
