A good piece about how, as he himself said, Muscat sometimes has no choice but to tell the truth

Mark Sammut

Mark Anthony Sammut’s blog-post on the subject of the prime minister and Shiv Nair. If there’s a next time, I hope that Sammut, who was a PN candidate, is elected.

    Pimps, thieves and scoundrels – Joseph and the Forty Thieves are beginning to see everything unravelling thanks to their leader’s compulsive lying – they can hear the clock ticking – their actions will become increasingly desperate.

    Nassumi li background checks fuq Mrs. Mizzi ma sarux lanqas. Il-kelma tar-ragel taghha li hi mara mill-ahjar hi bizzejjed.

    Daqxejn background cheks fuq Sai Liang, ovvjament, lanqas biss jghaddilhom mill-kantunieri ta’ mohhom biex jghamlu.

    U anke kieku stess. L-informazzjoni fuqha minghand is-secret service ciniz trid iggibha.

    It’s about time that Malta’s general elections cease to be based on constituency districts. This damaging system has led to the creation of mini fiefdoms, and the exacerbation of our ‘patron saint’ mentality.

    Like that, we would be able to vote for good people like Mark Anthony Sammut rather than having to choose from what is available on our own limited district list.

    Sammut distinguished himself with his writing and his reasoning prior to the last election and should have made it. That he didn’t is a poor show on the electorate not himself.

    There is no sense to dividing the country into districts other than a not-so-veiled attempt to protect the two major parties. We have local councils, and issues pertaining to localities should be handled by them.

    If our parliamentarians were to be elected on a nationwide basis perhaps they would start thinking more about the interests of the nation rather than the parochial way most think: “id – distrett tieghi”. Perhaps it will also serve to stop the politics of patronage.

    So forget districts, raise the quota and reduce parliament to a number which is more proportionate to the size of the electorate. With the savings made, better salaries can be paid hopefully attracting persons of a higher calibre than what we are lumped with today.

      Exactly.

    • D. Borg says:

      The PN and Labour are against of such national quota, because it will enable AD The Greens to dent their duopoly.

      The PN’s stalwarts, notwithstanding what they say, prefer to live under a Labour government, waiting their turn for absolute power, rather than ‘letting’ the Greens spoil their booty.

      Obviously Labour are no different, as they are shamelessly proving to all and sundry.

      Unfortunately, the people who did not elect Mark Sammut are the same people who dumped Louis Galea for Franco Debono.

    Il-body language ta’ Muscat neta jkun qed jigdeb tikxfu mill-ewwel, specjalment il-movimenti ta’ ghajnejh.

    Mark Anthony Sammut is one of the finest, most honest and unassuming politicians I have ever met.

    He is an asset to the PN and I hope that power struggles do not hinder this young man from being a parliamentarian in our fifth district next time.

  7. How can the Maltese public be assured that Joseph Muscat will be more efficient when it comes to awarding Maltese passports for cash?

    I remember the first time I heard Mark Sammut giving a speech, at the PN headquarters when the election campaign officially opened, and I was pleasantly surprised at how well he spoke and at his determination. I really hope he will be elected next time.
