This is the meaning of transparency according to Prime Minister Muscat.

In reply to ben. It can hold a government in breach if EU directives are broken

In reply to La Redoute. I wish people could vote for him as an MEP.

Interesting to think of Mario Vella and Chris Cardona as paperweights until the direct negotiation can seal it.

Because though he speaks of good governance he does not know a “hack” or a “dock” about public policy and separation of powers.

He really believes that ‘what the Prime Minister says, should get done’.

Because the majority of people believe that it’s the blazer which makes the man and that a bullying attitude signifies assertiveness. Because we Maltese ‘think’ we are something but are a bunch of bigots.

And because we accept mediocrity as the order of the day without knowing. Pajjiz tad-dilettanti and we elected the crème de la crème to represent us on the international fora because we fail to understand that being true to one’s nation is not about patronage but through long-term vision with a basis of morality.

Replace the George Cross on the Maltese flag with the caption ‘Bazwar L’hawn u Bazwar L’hemm’ , at least for the duration of Lejber’s stint in office.

Later on during that interview, Muscat was asked about the ongoing talks with Arriva.

It was clear all he cared for was shifting the onus onto Arriva who happens to have a contract, but which our dearest leader couldn’t care less about.

Not once was it mentioned, nor was Transport Malta. The message out there is that a signed contract with these individuals counts for nothing.

It’s also clear this is a government which will be the first to break away from any commercial commitment. Couldn’t care less for good practice or any business method.

In reply to ben. Bookmark Mark Anthony Sammut's blog. You'll find more sense there than in the entire Labour government.

Typical Maltese peasant mentality. “I have something you want. What can I get from you? Let’s ‘discuss.'”

If there’s no Daphne we wouldn’t know these things. Keep up the good work. May I ask a question because I’m so confused. Everyday we hear from you such unbelievable behaviour from the government etc.

The opposition is or can’t do anything, but we are in EU – the EU which can control countries to do things right but can the EU control governments (sorry about my English).
