Sometimes one thinks that a bully can be contained, that life will not spring such ridiculous results, that the electorate would have more sense, or that the bully will have more honour.  

When you are in that position, there is a process to go through, of first overcoming the disbelief that the threat was made in the first place.

When then there is further evidence that the bully knows no honour, the whole picture changes. Not everybody has an innate sense of cunning.  Humour is one thing and mob mentality is another.]]></description>

It is precisely because of who he was at the time that I expected him to do something about it. For crying out loud! He had his own TV program and could have made the threat public himself - its not like his program did not lend itself to similar revelations!

Would it have made a difference then? Not in terms of electoral votes. But I would feel more sympathetic to a person who had stood up to this bully at a time when he had everything to lose, rather than once he lost it all.]]></description>

Osservatore please note: that when you are just a minuscule person sitting in the head of the opposition, you are just that ... a non entity even if you represent  49%  of the electorate. But once you turn the tables on and become the PM of the country then that&#039;s another thing. And when you discriminate for political reasons just as Joe Muscat did with this person, then that&#039;s obscene and not fit for a PM of a country.]]></description>

The Prime Minister says this company was selected after a call for expression of interest. 

If this process was conducted as it should have been, this plan of selling citizenship would have been on for quite some time. So how come it is only announced now? 

And shouldn&#039;t something like this be discussed in Parliament first? I also don&#039;t recall this being mentioned in the PL manifesto either.
