You are wrong!  Debono is being paid for &quot;work done&quot;. Incidentally, we will be reading of  more 30 pieces of silver this week. 

I really hope that the PN will wake up, stop their stupid in-fighting, get together and under no circumstances accept anything (even if positive if this is possible) coming from the chap Franco Debono.  

I sincerely hope that the PN will not be duped this time.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Labour have found a way to keep the pressure on the PN even whilst in power.

Do you not think that the above reaction is exactly the one they were hoping for?  

Maybe Joseph will not have his reform but he will sure have a field day explaining to the people exactly how good the reforms would have been and how evil the PN is for letting pride come before the good of the nation.  

I shudder to think of the talk shows.

I have no solutions to this but the Franco Debono battle was lost with the image of the prime minister turning up at Franco&#039;s mum&#039;s  home at night, trying to reason with him.]]></description>

Very convenient to forget that the Nationalists are not those 17000-odd people who decided to vote Labour instead of PN this time, but the 131000 who actually did vote PN.

To quote Franco, he must accept criticism with humility and apologise where deemed fit.

Franco, you are a good for nothing who should be apologising to the 131,000 Maltese who are disgusted with you behaviour over the last 4 months. 

You have lost any credibility that you might have had, and we are not going to trust any suggestion that you might make in terms of changes to the constitution. 

We know you are a liar and any change you suggest is only going to be made because it is in your interest and not in the interest of the Nation.

Do not expect any support from the PN because our mandate when we voted Nationalist was to ensure as far as possible that continue to be irrelevant, something that in our eyes will never change.

You are as irrelevant to us 131,000 now as you were on the 9th March, and nothing short of hara kiri on your part is going to change that.

Message to Muscat. PN might have started learning their lesson. Treating you with respect was the biggest mistake they made. Hopefully they will now start treating you with what you deserve. Disdain and distrust. Two weeks into government and you have already created a klikka like no other. 

If your appointment were based on merit, god help us, a bigger group of inappropriate people I have yet to come across]]></description>
