They say RCC is a genius. If we each chip in, we could collect a decent sum and engage him to bring down this government.

This in the context of the output – Malta as a whole benefited from RCC’s hard work as compared to Musumeci’s opaqueness.

That would be a most satisfying manifestation of poetic justice but we all know that it’s foolish to hope for such things in the real world.

Nothing is impossible but bringing down a government with a nice seat majority is as close as it gets.

RCC is worth his weight in Gold.
