If the lie is big enough, people will believe it – just look at that slogan

Published: July 5, 2013 at 5:21pm

And you can tell what sort of people the Labour Party thinks will most strongly identify with it from the kind of individuals they put on their propaganda posters and leaflets.

The target demographic has become so, so specific.

    What does Franco Debono think of the present situation?

  3. Wistin Schembri says:

    Why is Labour using blue (politika nadifa) rather than red?

  4. bob-a-job says:

    Slow puncture? Not likely. This government is suffering from a burst Tyre.

  5. Wistin Schembri says:

    Politika nadifa….sakem m’intix iswed. Shame on you, Labour.

    What’s with the blue?

    That guy is gay. Not that I have anything against gays but why not portray the truth. Why not picture him with another guy?

    Trasparenza: they are not lying. We are seeing through all their moves. All they do is aimed at pleasing their inner circle and the persons who supported them .

    But that happens to be one tiny detail the Nationalist strategists failed to pick up on – PL carried out a campaign based on perception, they won by perception, and the Nationalists are simply not doing anything to fight that perception off and expose reality for what it is … it is all incredible.

    They’re doing what it takes to attract especially the younger generation!

    There is no doubt whatsoever that the PL propaganda machine is in top form.

    In comparison Saatchi&Saatchi pale into insignificance.

    The talk of the town is currently politika mahmuga, nuqqas ta’ demokrazija u kollox isir minn taht.

    Hence the poster and the slogan.

    It is becoming evidently clear that this government is afraid of taking bold decisions. It is trying to involve everyone, but decisions always leave victims.

    Can you imagine the “Cabinet meeting on Tuesday will be held at Marsaxlokk, and will include the participation of the Marsaxlokk council and the mayors of the surrounding areas.”

    So now we have the absurd situation where the village mayors will be attending cabinet meetings while the Labour Party MP’s (back benchers) are not invited.

    What a bunch of clowns.

    The PN besides keeping mum about this John Dalli affair has not reacted to the 37.9 million paid by the Transport Ministry in “consultancy fees” in 9 years.

    I’m quite sure this includes architects fees, project management fees for construction projects, etc . Such fees are often bundled as “consultancy fees”.

    I’m not impressed by the PN’s slumber.

    I think you, single handedly, are doing a far better job than Simon Busittil and “teamPN” put together.

    I wish there was a Muscatmeter. Just like the Obameter.

    But no. Maltese Journalists are only mere reporters nowadays.

    Is that an illustration of a near death experience in the background? A bloodied person walking into a bright light?

    …and the beige suits are back! Why is it that the PS for the elderly involved in this, is he promoting diving for senior citizens?

    By clean politics I suppose they mean John Dalli and his odd trips to the Bahams, Franco Mercieca and his waivers to stock up his bank account, a drug trafficker’s defence lawyer meddling with the Secret Service as Police Minister, that “blokka bajda” and Toni Abela, and Tony Zarb and his ‘we’ll give you a hand.’
