This sentence really says it all to the so called ‘switchers’.

Love it. Great title for an article.

She was told by a Labour person rather high up in government that they are grabbing all they can in these five years, because they know that they will not be there for another five.

You would think that instead of acting like greedy pigs they would be trying to come up with a roadmap that ensured that they were elected again in five years.

Instead they have drawn up a roadmap to disaster.

Looks like impossible promises made behind closed doors are already haunting them.

And I’ve been told that a couple of cabinet members are already losing it and are on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

Hadn’t they told us (a million times prior to the election) that we should look forward and focus on the future rather than talking about the past?

I can’t take it already anymore. I am seriously considering leaving this island; either that or I will just have to quit reading this blog and try to live in blissful oblivion.

Their mode if behaviour remains one of an opposition.

There certainly has been a change and it definitely was for the worse. I was going to say that the switchers would have better adopted a ‘better the devil you know’ attitude at election time but then the one that they voted for was a very well known ‘devil’ and is performing true to form.

The party was replying to the Labour Party’s reaction to a call for the Auditor General to investigate how Economic Affairs Minister Chris Cardona interfered in the Privatisation Unit during a call for expressions of interest for the provision of legal services to handle the granting of licences for two casinos.

The Labour MPs on the Public Accounts Committee said yesterday that the Auditor-General should also report how the former government issued direct orders to a few companies instead of a call for expressions of interest.

The PN said the Auditor-General reviewed all direct orders every year without being asked to do so by MPs. Labour’s call, therefore, was only an attempt to hinder the Auditor-General, the PN said.

When referring to the actions of the previous government, it is clear that the very fine message sent by the electorate has been missed – the change in Manor Farm, was not so much about whether Mr Jones or Napoleon would run the farm, but more so about HOW the farm was to be run.

With Napoleon donning Mr Jones’ clothes and walking the same walk, the very real opportunity to act differently is being squandered. The revolutionary cry that “all animals are equal” is no longer heard and now “some are more equal than others”

For the animals to run the farm in Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm’ was never really an option. Time and again, history has proved him right.
