Oh yes. He steered them so far from the Mintoffian ideology that he built his whole political programme on a crusade against EU membership.

Back to the drawing board, Joe Fenech. There’s a lot you need to learn.

He knew what he was getting into but his so-called honesty and literacy got in the way of good government and he immediately gave up.

Gonzi faced an even more difficult situation during the last legislature and could also have taken the easy way out.

I wonder where we would be if the clowns which are now in power had had to steer us through the worse of the financial crisis.

Although I agree he was probably the most literate person that came out of the Labour camp he was still wrong and puppeted around on many issues so I wouldn’t say he was the only hope.

To top it all he is now showing off his opportunistic side too (in true Labour fashion) by contesting as an MEP. Lino Spiteri could have been the only hope but still that was too far fetched.

I’ve said this many times before – Sant was Labour’s only hope. He could have been the one to steer them away from the Mintoffian ideology. But being an honest and literate person he couldn’t cope amongst them and so he pulled the plug.

Let’s see if there is the answer to Daphne’s question in it.
