sky blue, you are reading him well.

I think that by writing certain thoughts about some MPs is not right at the moment because I haven’t heard any one accepting any positions with PL. Don’t run into certain decisions before they are made although I can understand you. BUT no good can be obtained by accusing before actions are taken. I hope I’m understood.

Hemispherical…bah, I meant semi-circular.

Actually, London and Valletta are the only two non-hemispherical parliaments in Europe. Let’s keep it that way.

There may be others outside Europe, but I’m no expert.

I fail to undestand what the shape of Parliament has to do with an Opposition.

[Daphne – Forgive me, David, but: SIGH. Government. Opposition. Two sides of the House. Oppositional politics. London. Valletta. Various other parliaments. In parliaments where there is no Oppositon, there aren’t two sides of the House. There is a sort of Greek theatre effect or variations on the same theme.]

What I said on “Malta taghna lkoll” means that this slogan was explained that persons of all political hues will collaborate with the new government. Now this does should not mean a grand coalition of sorts, without an opposition but that eg on state boards, no person should be excluded beacuse of his political views.

[Daphne – David, that no person should be excluded (or included, for that matter) because of his/her political views is exactly what we are saying here. But Opposition MPs are a different kettle of fish. It is not their political views which ‘exclude’ them, but their role in the Opposition, as distinct from their party membership.]

Oh good heavens David, get yourself a political science tutor. France and the US do not have an Opposition. That’s opposition with a capital O. The clue is in the shape of their parliament chambers – or the equivalent.

I sometimes wonder the same thing, the internet warrior.

Two-thirds seems to be the Number of the Beast, concatenated. God help us all.
