Pero&#039; imbaghad nahseb u nghid, kemm kien hemm nies validi fil-legislatura l-ohra li thallew l-art ghaliex ma kienux ta&#039; gewwa.

Jien nittama li l-partit Nazzjonalista jitghallem minn dak li gara f&#039;din l-elezzjoni u la jitla fil-gvern, u milli qed nara ma nahsibx li l-PL ha jdum wisq, ma jirrepetiex l-istess zbalji li ghamel u verament jiehu hsieb niesu.]]></description>
