Yes, hmmm. Mintoff begged and got a lot of money for – supposedly – Malta. But what the people gain? Korpi tax-xoghol, issikkar tac-cinturin, less vacation leave for all workers, very poor quality of imported products, the list is endless.

Any improvement in our standard of living is all due to successive P.N. governments.

Thank you Dr. Borg Olivier, Eddie and Lawrence you made us proud to be Maltese.

In these last weeks to the election and “let’s go for it” and do our bit to ensure the peace and prosperity we’ve enjoyed up to now.

Yes. Prepare for the worst.

My preferred alternatives would be either non-universal suffrage where the hillbillies and hamalli aren’t allowed to vote (that includes me, but so be it) or universal suffrage where the politicians ignore the wishes of the hillbillies and hamalli.

What we have is a system where political programmes are tailored to the chavs, who are invariably the loudest voting segment, with the greatest lobbying power. The rest of us don’t even feature on the politicians’ radar screens, be they PN or MLP.

Oh and if no one else will do it, and to pre-empt your barb, I will define quality. Suit you?

so H.P. Baxxter what’s your preferred alternative to democracy and who defines “quality” ?

Hold it right there Joseph…if it were for you we wouldn’t have had those funds. How can I trust you to spend those funds in the best possible way when Gonzi showed that he can USE that money EFFICIENTLY.

That amount is not the result of a five minute walk-around some carnival float with the hands in the pocket of a dark black coat; that is the result of years of hard preparation work done by Richard Cachia Caruana, Marlene Bonnici and Lawrence Gonzi with the professional teams they lead.

It’s pertinent to recall that Joseph voted in favour of the removal of the highly experienced diplomat Richard Cachia Caruana from Permanent Representative to the EU:

Joseph’s party billboard was “Miljun lira fi flus kontanti”.

And Karmenu Vella boasts about the millions Mintoff brought to Malta.

Gonzi is now on record that under his leadership we are benefitting from the efficient use of a BILJUN Lira (€2.243 Billion).

On a sad note: We are on the path of dumping €63 million from these hard earned funds if we elect Joseph and his ship of fools .He prefers spending an extra €250 million on an LNG plant to run an unneeded power station which will put us some €600 million in the red, apart the danger it will create in Marsaxlokk Bay.

How fitting is the Maltese saying for this sad ending: “Hobz il-biezel kielu l-ghazzien”.

He said that Malta’s economy remained resilient in spite of Gonzi.

Smart City project is now a good project he says to the Dubai owners , while back in Malta he attacks Gonzi on the 7,000 jobs in IT which this project promised.

Dawk il-miljuni issa huma taghna, u ghalhekk hemm bzonn li jkollna gvern serju.

Labour is not claiming that it will cost 600m. so you can’t include that amount in their own calculations.
