Issa jindunaw li l-bidla tkun ghal-ghar kif kien jghidilna Gonzi.

Naf li hafna min dawk is 36,000 ma jafux jew ma jiftakrux jew ma ridux jiftakru ghax webbsu rashom. Issa niehdu dak li jixirqilna allavolja hafna minna mhux tort taghna.

Harsu ftit!! Joseph irnexxilu jghaqqad il-laburisti KOLLA – ank dawk tad-traditur. Harsu ftit ukoll lejn il PN li abbanduna GHAL KOLLOX il popolin. Tmur titkellem u hlief dahqa ma tarax. Harsu ftit ukoll li il PN dejjem qeda fil pront it-talbiet ta niex tal PN bl-isperanza li jakkwistaw il vot taghhon. Kif tippretendi li il PN qatt seta jirbah l-lezzjoni!!

There is consolation in others finding this situation equally disturbing.

It is not the fact that that elections took place and that the Labour Party won. To me there is something very disturbing about this whole business of promises to all instead of policy for all, presenting themselves as believers of a European system and arrangement that they were so vehemently against, promising change and youth and presenting a cabinet with the same dreaded old faces, the very disconcerting way the media has been hijacked and silenced, the way we were told point blank that “the end justifies the means.”

There is something lying just beneath the surface that doesn’t quite click.

Why is it that when I hear the term Special Prosecutor I feel that there is an intention to institute, directly or indirectly, an eventual silencing of Daphne? Under civil liberties? Can such a thing happen? Or be attempted? Does a Special Prosecutor work under Constitutional oath?

Pero ftakart meta rebhu l-elezzjoni l-PN l-ewwel darba war 15 il-sena taht gvern Mintoffian, li ghaffeg in-nies, il-pajjiz, id-demokrazija u l-identita taghna u sa anke qatlu nies li ma kienux jaqblu fil-politika maghhom.

Kull hadd ta’ l-eta’ taghna jiftakar ir-renju tat-terrur, it-tkissir tal-kurja, tal-qrati u l-attak fuq il-Kazinijiet kollha tal-PN id-dar centrali, u d-dar ta’ Fenech Adami. Nahseb kull hadd jiftakar il-hruq tat-Times of Malta u s-swat.

Dak iz-zmien l-elezzjoni Alla jbirek l-intelligenza u is-sens ta’ proporzjon tal-poplu kien ta’ xi 4,000 voti. Spjegali naqra x’paragun ghamlu din id-darba biex in-nies taw vantag lil-LP ta’ l-fuq min 30,000 vot?

Ma nahsibx li kien jixraq dan ir-rizultat issa.

Nahseb li l-poplu zbalja bil-kbir u ser ibati l-konsegwenzi fix-xhur u snin li gejjin. Dan il-gvern ma jistax izomm il-promessi li ghamel ghax jekk jaghmel dan l-ekonomija tal-pajjiz titkisser.

Jekk izzomm ikl-promessi li ghamel mal-kaccaturi ser iddahhal il-pajjizna f-inkwiet kbir mal-UE u ser nehhlu multi li jammontaw ghal miljuni. Birdlife ga qallulu dan id-diskors, imma bhas-soltu l-LP lest jghid dak kollu li hemm bzonn basta jerbah l-elezzjoni.

Apparti dan Muscat m’ghandux la l-esperjenza u l-anqas in-nies biex immexxu l-pajjiz.

L-izbalji ser jissarfu f’danni kbar li Alla biss jaf x’ser jiswew u kemm ser ikolhom jogholu t-taxxi.

Kien ikun akta facli kieku ma konniex fl-UE. Imma la qeghdin hemm naf fic-cert li ser ikollhom problemi kbar ghax m’ghandhomx ideja la tal-procedura u l-anqas nies kwalifikati. Nofshom hadu l-ministeri ghax kien obligat lejhom u mhux ghax l-esperjenza taghhom tiswa ghal xi haga.

Kennedy kien jghid li kull poplu jkollu l-gvern li jixxraqlu, u b’dispjacir nghid li l-LP jixxirqilna bhal gvern.

Nahseb li veru ser ikollnha bzonn it-talb ta’ Francesku.

Issa l-izball sar. U dan l-izball ma thassrux bil-gomma. Il quddiem taraw kemm kien zbaljat il-poplu. Ghal bidu kollox jidher li gej sewwa.

Hekk tghidilna l-istorja. Imbaghad wara jibda gej is-saram. Jibda r-rimors. Imbaghad ikun tard wisq.

That’s exactly the reason that induced me to vote for the EU.

And stealing someone else’s thunder… by hook or by …

What happened was simply “ghazlu r-rih flok is-shih” as we say in Maltese! Other supposed explanations do not hold water beside this truth.
