You fail to realise that Muscat has delegated practically all his responsibilities to other ministers so he can concentrate on the big picture. 

He is trying to be &#039;presidential&#039;, which is not a bad idea, considering that Dr Lawrence Gonzi got trapped with too many responsibilities and day to day details - and look where that got him.]]></description>

Mizzi wants to burden us with the daily problems he has to face.

 &#039;There&#039;s more than one way to skin a cat’ it could be that Gonzi would have left such ‘problems’ to be tackled by the ministry of foreign affairs and forge an agreement on some other concession Malta would have given or already gave. 

Mizzi could have asked the permanent secretary for good advice...oh I forgot that the “Malta taghna lkoll” guys sacked them together with their experience and brought instead of them the blue-eyed boys.

I suspect that Mizzi is showing his incompetence in the field , we have extra costs amounting to €32million for a bad decision.]]></description>

Not as irrelevant as you may perceive, Mark.

He&#039;s been put in charge of &#039;Constitutional Reform&#039; by Little Joey.

Read this in today&#039;s Wall Street Journal.

&#039;Constitutional Mob Rule in Hungary&#039;. By George Koptis.
(The institutional erosion in Budapest clearly violates the spirit of fundamental European values)

The article begins with this paragraph:

&#039;A number of recent constitutional amendments by Hungary&#039;s Parliament have received well-deserved criticism from foreign governments and the European Union. Particularly troubling is the amendment granting practically unlimited power to the Parliament to overturn decisions of the constitutional court, including retroactively.&#039;

Perhaps thinking Maltese citizens should read the full article. Go to http://online.wsj.com to find the article.

This is very scary, and little Joey has started down this path, with a maniac in charge, whom little Joey knows is manipulatable.

We&#039;re on a long slide down to the pits.]]></description>

The PL government &#039;sab is-sodda lesta&#039;.

It is utterly unheard of that the head of a three-week-old government goes away on a long holiday.

The longer the holiday the better for Malta.]]></description>
