Good assessment in your comment. It explains why there is no pride or remorse in bandying around her surname in a party that utterly destroyed her grandfather - a politician and a doctor who was loved and admired by the population for his integrity, dedication and sense of altruism.

This is the impression I formed from my father&#039;s recollections of the man and his party. After the devastation of the War and the new consciousness of the Maltese, Pawlu Boffa was extremely popular which explains his record 60% record vote in the successive election.]]></description>

Is it true that she&#039;s related to Dr Pawlu Boffa, leader of the Malta Workers&#039; Party?

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - You have a lot of catching up to do. Yes, she is his granddaughter, but there is a &#039;gap&#039; in the generations because she was born when her father was in his 50s.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Observing how she misread what you wrote about the generation gap between herself and her &#039;dear&#039; father (and consequently her so-called grandfather), one can easily conclude that she is THAT stupid. 

No wonder she fits in so perfectly with the MLP.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[She should be ashamed not proud, especially considering who her grandfather was.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Lara Boffa is her mother&#039;s (a Labour hairdresser from Zejtun) daughter, a situation exacerbated by the fact that her father was old enough to be her grandfather, and so would have had next to no influence on his children, as always happens in these situations.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>
