Well, Ivan, what can I say? As somebody who didn’t vote because your wife wasn’t given the job she wanted, as though it was hers by right, you are hardly in a position to speak about the unethical behaviour of others – or to complain about Labour’s behaviour when you and your wife helped put them there (that’s what not voting PN does, I’m afraid).
So spare us the crap.

No wonder that I am hooked on to this blog. Never expected Ivan Camilleri to have voted Labour. Amazing when one hears these things one changes ones impression of a person who up to now considered him to be quite normal. In fact if he voted Labour he certainly cannot be considered as normal. Yes Ivan spare us the crap and stick to your sprouts.
[Daphne – He didn’t vote Labour. He tore up his voting document in front of witnesses and didn’t vote. Same difference, pretty much.]
Mathematically, the fact that he tore up his voting document means that his vote was counted as +1 for Labour as opposed to +2 had he voted Labour.
Il-pn kellu jiehu hsieb in-nies u jsolvi ix-xewqat tan-nies individwalment u mhux nipretendu li n-nies jibqghu jivvutawlna.
Mhux bizzejjed li taghmel hafna fuq bazi nazzjonali. Hemm kazijiet fejn laburisti gew preferuti u nazzjonalisti imwarba. Jekk kien hemm min qatta l-vot tort taghna.
[Daphne – Ma naqbel mieghek xejn. Jekk kien hemm xi hadd li qatta l-vot tort TIEGHU. We are all over 18 and responsible for our choices and actions. Blaming somebody else for our decisions and choices (‘you made me do it’) is immaturity of the worst order. That’s why people shouldn’t boast about it. There’s a lot wrong with the emotional and psychological development of adults in Malta, and politics/voting brings it out on parade every election time, as does parliament. It is actually pretty disturbing.]
Twanny Borg, even by your reasoning, Ivan Camilleri had nothing to complain about.
Ivan and Nicolette Camilleri didn’t vote? But they had it all so good, those two bloody leeches. Fuckin’ hell – I want to emigrate to Venezuela.
Twanny Borg: Le!
L-Irwol tal-Gvern, ta’ kull Gvern, hu li jikkoncentra fuq il-policies tal-politika tieghu.
Il-Gvern ma jidholx fil-karita socjali. Dak mhux xoghlu. Min imexxi hekk, imexxi ghat-triq tan-nizla bhalma ghamlu il-gvernijiet ta’ Cipru u tal-Grecja.
Jekk int missier, kap ta’ familja, u kull jum, ibnek jew bintek tigi titolbok il-pjaciri, u taghtihomlha, int tkun qed tmexxi hazin – ghax dan ibnek, bintek, tkun qed tistrieh fuqek u tispicca ma tikkontribwixxi xejn ghall-pajjiz.
Hi Daphne, it’s not disturbing at all – in the US of A, it’s called pork barrel politics and it goes a long way to satisfying the demands of the populace. Take the US ambassadorial post to Malta for example, the post is usually occupied a minion in the ruling party’s machinery and , hey presto! you’re suddenly ambassador of a little island in the Med.
We had ex MInisters, P/Sects etc who did just that or worse by voting Labour for not getting what they wanted. Are they all immature?
[Daphne – Yes. Immaturity has nothing to do with age (unless you really are young). In adults, it’s the result of abnormal/arrested psychological/emotional development.]
Is it just me who can’t bear this woman’s voice?
No.
Here we go again, ‘alleged’ criminals allowed to run as a Labour MEP candidates.
Speaks volumes, No?
She has a job at the OPM, doesn’t she?
Maltese people and MLP think alike. They have to, otherwise they wouldn’t have voted for them. They naturally identify with them.
I just cannot understand how can a person put a country in jeopardy and not vote.
It is a lie that Mr Camilleri tore up his vote in front of witnesses. I know him personally and he doesn’t do these things. If he didn’t vote its also his right and rest assured he had good reasons for this which are very far from what you’re saying.
If you are to be taken seriously for once, name the witnesses you have. If not, just shut up and don’t continue to make more damage to the PN.
[Daphne – If you bother to ask Camilleri himself, you will find that he’s the very one who told me that he and his wife did not vote and why. I had it, so to speak, from the horse’s mouth. Not that it was a secret, of course: I rang him to ask whether it was true because everybody was talking about it and I didn’t believe them. “I know him personally and he doesn’t do these things” – yes, right. Well, I know him personally and I would never have believed for a moment that he would reason or behave like that. So there you go.]
I love the way every time Daphne writes about something that touches a sensitive nerve, certain people tell her to stop “making more damage” to the PN.
[Daphne – Well, wouldn’t you know, Ivan Camilleri actually thinks that by not voting he was doing the PN a favour. Because somewhere in their minds, there’s ‘the real party’ waiting to come out. And in Ivan’s case, one that is preferably not led by Mario de Marco, because if it is, he won’t vote for it, again.]
The only reason he enjoyed the good life in Brussels for years was precisely thanks to the Nationalist Government.
Ah yes, she made a fuss insisting on Wied Iz-Zurrieq being part of Qrendi.
Dan ukoll ! nirra mhux jerga` jkun hawn zmien is-sebghajn u tmeninijiet. Halli jkun jaf xi jfisser is-sur Camilleri li sab is-sodda mifruxa.
The tears of a clown.
And she might be replaced by Dr. Alfred Sant from next year.
