A vote for AD means a vote for Labour – if you have an idea of how our electoral system works.

If you know then you should know that a vote for AD, yes, indeed, worries the PN. If you do not know, thwn shut up and try and learn from those who KNOW.

“This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end”

And your fridge magnet hero (poor Laurie) will be consigned to the dustbin of history…. yipeeeeee

The bottom line is that AD cannot win the election so their electoral manifesto cannot be implemented. It’s as simple as that.

It is all very well to want AD to have a seat in Parliament but surely that should not take priority over who you want to lead the country. The choice to be made is between Gonzi and Muscat and their respective teams. Voting for anyone else is wasting your vote. With the system we have, the mould is not going to be broken. The system needs to be changed for that.

Having a seat in parliament when the Government of the day has a strong majority means precious little other than having your voice heard. If this is so important to you, it doesn’t need to be at the expense of choosing who should lead the country. One could give their no.2 to them after voting for a strong or a weak candidate whose votes are more than likely to be inherited.

Having said that, Briguglio has turned out to be a fraud. He is a Communist, no less. How could he vote for Sant who was so anti EU when the AD were actively in favour? What was the reaction of his colleagues like Cassola?

Bloody socialists they are – nothing less.

Ghaliex iridu jaharbu minn Kuba n-nies Kubani? U jigi dal-pacluq u jfahhar ir-regim dittatorjali ta’ Kuba. Jew tal-Venezuela. Hallina pinnur u buffun.

It’s inverted snobbery mixed with a strong dose of conceited bigotry.

I’ve had a couple of instances where an argument would be met with uncalled for bouts of rage.

They have a major issue with their personal limits resorting to condescendence or colonial spite.

They also make extremely boring and uncouth dinner guests, just their little world and what they can manage in conversation.

No self-deprecating irony, no self-awareness, just upholding the alibi for the persona.

The common factor is a lacklustre professional competence.

However there are those who trust him. I heard about someone who is voting for him because he wants gay marriage.

Don’t these people realise that no matter how much they wish for something to happen there is simply no way it will materialise? Even if elected, AD will be powerless in most cases.
