Muscat & Mallia should take note.

Out of curiosity… If I check your site 3 times in a day, would that count as 3 hits? Or is the data intelligent enough to recognise same “source”?

[Daphne – That 305,000 figure is literally views, nothing to do with ‘hits’ or unique visitors. It means that pages got looked at 305,000 times, by whoever, within the space of 24 hours.]

There is no one single journalist in the media today with as much clarity of thought, value and purpose across the political scene.

So clear, direct and fitting, that the appropriate response and direction is at your fingertips. Never meddled or muddled.

Then we had, at least, a fearless giant of a politician as a reference point in Fenech Adami.

This time round the only ray of hope that Maltese people of goodwill have is Daphne’s inimitable style of journalism, her consistency, her perseverance and her courage.

This is the reason for the phenomenal hit rate.

Well said.

I’m sick of this unwritten rule which gives Times of Malta some arbitrary right over public opinion.

Times of Malta belongs to established interests. No space for controversy.

I’m actually tired of people saying the Opposition’s dormant.

Hanging on to civilised behaviour and its ethical restrictions on discourse yes, by all means. But I prefer that to some Muscat clone spiting everyone with told you so’s.

Then there’s the idea of opposition which has to evolve,

The Independent has what it takes to criticise, who gives a toss what Sansone’s up to. His days are numbered if he’ll just copy and paste.

Even Maltatoday won’t give up on its focus, MEPA, environmental issues and the rights of human beings saved from sinking boats.

Things will come to a head when this government clashes with the EU. Rest assured it will. The opposition requires everyone.

Jason, Beppe, Marco, Chris, Claudette, there’s so many valid people, Simon does well to push them. If Jason can expound perfectly well the issue, let him to it.

Personally I think Tonio should round up Konrad’s scam and tear it pieces.

The PN’s undergoing a major mindshift, so we miss Lawrence Gonzi, doesn’t mean his style and fast paced rhetoric should be imposed on his successor.

What matters is to follow closely public opinion and set about building around it. To date Labour’s avoided politics whatsoever, even this passport business is being rushed through parliament.

What’s certain is that five years of snide bullying isn’t sustainable. Either they degenerate or they back off.

They don’t have good governance at heart, simply too compromised.
