By next election we can all have a billboard (300,000 or so) then we can really have a taghna lkoll and bankrupt the coffers as well. At least we shall all be lkoll in the shit together.

In reply to matt. Both political parties are bankrupt. The PN has got a lot of properties(clubs) around Malta while Labour has got fewer assets. They’re at par.

In reply to Snoopy. Yes it has mysteriously reappeared with a different title.

In spite of all, the public is nonchalant. Sadly, only a handful people are worried.

The PN is bankrupt so is their media. Muscat is following Mintoff’s manual.

In reply to Jozef. Early this morning, timesofmalta.com ran a story about an interview with Mario Galea, chair of the gaming authority and his conflict of interest as a consultant to another competing gamin authority as well as his directorship in a gaming-related company. Interestingly, this story has disappeared along with a couple of comments that had already been accepted by the moderator.

Wonder if the little boy and the dog are still waiting for their iced bun? Or maybe a nice big meaty bone.

I agree with the overview presented in the article although the writer almost lost me with the first few words – ‘Young and fresh-faced Opposition Leader…’. Let me not comment about that.

It seems to me that Joseph Muscat is paving the way to ensure that he remains in power for more than one legislature.

This to me is one reason for him appointing one of the largest Cabinets in Maltese political history. Not only is he rewarding as many MPs as possible (also ensuring that no-one feels left out), he is also ensuring that the workload is distributed as much as possible allowing the incumbents to have the time to remain ‘close to the people’.

The other appointments – to boards, committees etc. – are too much to bear. I recall Joseph Muscat clearly stating that appointments to Boards will be made following public consultation/voting. At the same time he was preaching meritocracy, clearly showing that he was playing for votes. When he came to action, he did neither, but in true Labour fashion simply rewarded those who openly supported him.

A clearer example of deceiving the electorate there cannot be.

He is even creating new unneeded positions to accomodate these people.

At this rate we will soon end up with an inflated public service.

I wonder where he plans to get the money to finance all these extras.

In reply to Jozef.

Bit of a whitewash putting it up as a quote, the gist still to think in terms of equivalence. I suppose it provides for ‘balance’ which perversely creates chance, read ‘cens’.

Let’s put it this way, RCC was evil incarnate when in reality Muscat was overheard lamenting how he wished he could use his services.

How pathetic is that? Are we to reduce our standards, exclusive by definition, to allow them into the range?
