Well damme, I&#039;ll do the PN&#039;s job for them if they can&#039;t do it:

-------------

F&#039;dawn l-aħħar ġranet saru ħatriet diplomatiċi li qed isiru biex jiġu aġevolati nies li ħadmu biex il-Partit Laburista jirbah l-elezzjoni.

Il-Partit Nazzjonalista jemmen li l-Korp Diplomatiku Malti kien strumentali biex Malta tigbor giehha fix-xena internazzjonali. Il-

Minhabba n-nominii li qed jigu rapurtati mill-gazzetti, li l-Gvern baqa&#039; ma ċahadx, il-Partit Nazzjonalista jappella biex kull ħatra ta&#039; Ambaxxatur issir fuq l-abilita’ u l-mertu tal-persuna li tokkupa din il-pożizzjoni, u mhux sempliċiment għax persuna kienet attiva waqt il-kampanja elettorali tal-Partit Laburista. 

L-Oppożizzjoni kienet qed tistenna wara d-diskors kollu li sar matul l-kampanja elettorali li kull ħatra futura f’dawn l-pożizzjonijiet titressaq quddiem il-Kumitat Parlamentari għall-Affarijiet Barranin u Ewropej għall-iskrutinju u l-approvazzjoni tiegħu. Imma l-Gvern mar lura minn kelmtu.

Il-Partit Nazzjonalista jemmen li dawn il-ħatriet m’għandhomx isiru unilateralment minn Kastilja, imma għandhom isiru bi proċess miftuħ u trasparenti u mhux skont il-kriterju l-ġdid ta’ Malta Tagħna Lkoll.

Il-Partit Nazzjonalista jieħu l-opportunita’ biex juri l-apprezzament tiegħu u jirringrazzja lil dawk kollha, li sa llum servew fil-Korp Diplomatiku u wettqu ħidma kontinwa favur Malta.

					<description><![CDATA[The PN&#039;s Uffiċċju Informazzjoni needs an urgent crash course in down-to-earth Maltese, first of all to get rid of all that legalese, then to avoid constructing long-winded sentences that take up a whole paragraph (but then maybe this is yet another aspect of legal-speak, or simply a reflection of a pompous writer). 

Such pompous expression of thought is also quite common in speeches among many PN politicians.

And from the above statement, it also seems that proof-reading is a luxury down at Dar Ċentrali.]]></description>

Yes, but look at Joseph. Nothing deterred him from shooting for (and succeeding) at becoming prime minister.

He cannot even learn on the job as evident from the number of U-turns on decisions taken by him in the first 100 days.

Some people don&#039;t mind at all making an ass of themselves as long as the job they land pays well and are able to turn a private car into a revenue producing vehicle at public expense.

No wonder he is now willing to change the &#039;Code of Ethics&#039; in order to enable ministers and PS&#039;s earn more from private practices and turn the position they were elected for, into a part-time job.]]></description>

So it seems there are competent Labour-supporting career diplomats. So why the hell did they choose three Labour-supporting crackpots over competent Labour-supporting diplomats when they were considering filling three ambassadorial posts in three of the most strategic countries?

What do you expect from bloody lawyers? 

That statement, with its Italianate terms and clunky archaic style, looks like something written in a 1930s attorney&#039;s office, not the headquarters of a political party. I despair. I truly do.]]></description>
