One of his more chilling statements.

This is one calculating individual.

I haven’t been out quite a while, what I have been told is that people who went by his spiel have turned silent lately.

He’d be horrified at Muscat’s idea of society.

Pasolini, eh?

Hope is not enough. Britain was one of the founding members of the coal and steel union, a forerunner to today’s EU. and now see what happened.

A spare prime minister, jekk Joseph jasal tard, jkunu jistghu jibdew minghajru.

Yes, if that isn’t puzzling.

Not to mention that constitutional reforms aren’t electoral campaign material.

If Joseph becomes PM and with him his obvious dictatorial powers, the ‘somebody else’ will be you and me and nobody else.

We are at a crossroads again as invariably we always are as long as some form of a Labour Party or ‘Moviment’, camouflaged as they are, still exist.

Yes, the sun still rises the day after they climb the steps of Castille, but it will be brighter for the few and covered by black clouds for the many who need sunshine the most.

The Maltese saying: “Ahseb hazin biex it-tajjeb ma jonqosx” can never be truer than the lead to the March 9 election.

One look at the Muscat Labour Party as aptly described by the contributor of the article, should strike fear in many a heart and especially for those who feel betrayed by the Nationalist Party because they were not given ‘special considerations’, plainly described as ‘favours,’ while they were in government.

This clearly demonstrates how the practices of the past are hard to erase and the expectation from those in power still is that they should be doling out favours to their supporters but not to ‘the others’.

Some within the NP realm are still stuck there as well and unfortunately the key to another NP victory is firmly clasped by their hands!

The elimination of opposition by abolishig political parties has always been one of the early steps taken by the great dictators Think of Hitler, Mugabe and Gaddafi as a few examples.

In the political model where the Movement of the People leads the country, the political parties are seen as a danger – enemies of the people. Because they criticise the system and expose its corruption and incompetence.

In the Movement system, those in power cannot be held accountable, because they are not coming from one of the parties, but from the party. And the Movement becomes the government.

And because the Movement is the People, then it must be protected at all costs – at the expense of fundamental human rights.
It is the way they lead in North Korea and China, for instance.

Maybe this is what Joseph Muscat has in mind when he says that he will change the Constitution and create the Second Republic.
