Let me see wether I understand the reasoning behind all this:

There is no space for more offices for the ministers in the new parliament, we’re told.

But there’s enough space for a Mintoff Museum!

Where are the offices which the ministers have in the present parliament.

Are we going to spend €85million for a museum dedicated to a politician, instead of filling up the present parliamentary chamber and offices with another tourist attraction of the knights’ period ?

How many tourists would a Mintoff museum attract and how many would a better showcase of the knight’s period attract?

I hope this is some misquotation and that the public library gets its transfer to the floor level of this magnificent building instead of having a political museum.

The speaker will chair a committee on how this building will be used, I hope this won’t be like when the delegates voted for PL’s new emblem.

Follow the money.

No, Marlene did it on purpose so that Daphne will not be jealous of her.

The changes in the Piano building plans are a big ‘hekk, hu go fik’. If this is not neo-Mintoffianism than I don’t know what is.

I expect them to start consider dismantling the chamber’s roof to replace it with a lightweight glass vault.

Our own Venus Victrix. Make that the falling warrior.

This is not about disdain for art (though that too). This is not about contempt for democracy (though that also).

This is about spite. Spite for anything created by Lawrence Gonzi.

Economic crises, and most other problems, come and go but grand buildings tend to stand. The new parliament would have been Lawrence Gonzi’s lasting monument. Joseph Muscat couldn’t have that, could he? He could never bring himself to inaugurate Lawrence Gonzi’s brainchild.

Joseph Muscat’s idea of winning is destroying anything that came before. It is about, literally, rewriting the rulebook, hence the rewriting of the constitution.

Like all dictators, he thinks of himself as a revolutionary. Joseph Muscat is Gaddafi all over again changing the flag and writing his Green Book.

The only difference is that Joseph Muscat is wily enough to use elements of democracy, like elections and referenda, to get his changes through. Joseph Muscat knows which elements of democracy are useful for his wicked designs and which elements are to be ignored or discarded. For Joseph Muscat, democracy is not an end in itself but one of the ways which he can use to manipulate people and outcomes.

The Nationalist Party needs to be as strong and united as ever in order to keep this government in check.

Yep, did she object.
