You’re sure it was La Thatcher and not our very own Franco Debono who uttered those subliminal words?

According to Prof Edward (get one right) Scicluna, a Labour government does not promise a balanced budget during the coming mandate.

Now, Fitch and Standard and Poor’s lowered Malta’s rating to BBB+ because the Budget did not pass, so by staying in a deficit position without any plans to correct it for the next five years, would they maintain this rating or lower it further?

If they take into consideration a 600 million new debt, would they look favourably at Malta’s rating?
These are questions which should be asked although it is highly doubtful that Joseph and Edward would have a clue nor the will to answer.

Elect us first, then we’ll see! We’re telling them, we already see what kind of disaster awaits Malta if the gamblers give you a chance.

I think I’ll put on my black tie. If we’re going to sink they I might as well look my best. You know, like first class on the Titanic.

Firstly, my friend, most of my contacts do not have the danger on their radar as yet. (EU member and all that) As we say, ‘small potatoes’. However, I have advised them to dial in and follow the scary proceedings.

Secondly, most of my investment friends cannot believe that the people would change a government that has kept an even keel. (used to be in sea cadets.) Again, I advised them about the polls. They were surprised and upset.

Thirdly, have some buddies in the rating agencies in NYC. Ready to push the ‘unlike’ button if Labour is elected.

No. He’s so proud of his manhood that he thinks it’s a centre-strip.

It would be easy to add a little “email” tab on your home page.

Since our journalists are bloody useless, Harry, may I assume the role of a Stephen Sackur here, and get your expert opinion?

How do foreign investors view the impending Labour victory?

How will it affect investment patterns, if at all? What about the financial services sector? Are they making plans for The Day After?

And what are the rating agencies saying in their boardrooms, outside their published reports?
