Good question.  I think that the 2nd Republic would give the President more powers, pomp and ceremony, and then Joseph, Michelle, Etoile and Soleil will reappear as Presidential family with the Marion Mizzi brigade (After all, his and AST&#039;s hero Gaddafi had female bodyguard outriders?) to lead and cheer whilst Jason, Manwel the stasher etc tackle the rest of the &#039;business&#039;. Joseph will then plan for the dominance of Red China and outer space.  Ooh we&#039;re in for some international scorn and ridicule IF this happens. I&#039;m imagining some worse name than Belgrade&#039;s Silicon Valley applied to the whole of Malta, and Gozo. Tal-Biki that he&#039;s even given the time of day.]]></description>

Daniel, ghaliex tahseb Muscat uriena kemm hu relaxed jara l-cartoons u ma jarax ahbarijiet u jmur il-gym biex jibqa fit?

Daniel, as a voter you have a right to know everything about your candidates.

Just look at the fifth district where Franco was elected; his supporters were PN and he misrepresented them.

Look at JPO - we never new he was a land speculator. Everyone thought he was a dentist.

If a candidate has a serious illness he should make it public and then you can vote on that fact with your eyes wide open.

Airline pilots are medically tested so that they don’t put your life in danger and  similarly candidates should tell us about their problems and conflicts of interest. 

The main concern of people at the top who are terminally ill is their survival not your bread and butter issues.]]></description>
