Hi, fellow 59-er!

You&#039;re only halfway though the story, Ray. Mintoff then went on to wreck University for us, demolish healthcare, gerrymander the 1981 election (hence the housing skulduggery you referrred to), close MCAST, attack private schools . . . 

All the while there was no investment in our infrastructure, just second-hand/scrapped &#039;imbarazz&#039;. The drydocks/Shipbuilding made us taxpayers cough-up for thousands of jobsworths and any sort of freedom was ruthlessly attacked vide The Times being burnt down/attack on Eddie&#039;s house, Zebbug 1981, PN Clubs ransacked ad nauseam, the SAG, the Zejtun fracas, the murder of Raymond Caruana . . .

They say today&#039;s Young People aren&#039;t interested. They should be.]]></description>

Oh, it was obvious he was following instructions. But what instructions exactly? Watch the talk.

And the scary thing is that (because of human nature) if the PN don&#039;t follow those same instructions too, they could very well continue losing elections for a while.]]></description>

Do you mean to tell me that you did not understand it right from the start? It was so blatantly obvious that he was following &quot;instructions&quot; right through. 

I actually called it play-acting.

Now perhaps I can say that it is I who is understanding why he won the election. Silly me, I thought it was very evident.]]></description>
