In reply to mewho. And remember that Al Fayed has invested millions and millions in the U.K. and has been residing in Britain for years on end. Still British citizenship escapes him. I would presume he possesses slightly more than 650,000 measly euros to enable him to get a European passport thanks to Malta.

Since He is God, I do not know who we’d ask whether it is possible.

Daphne your reference to the Peter Mandelson case is spot on. All through these discussions Mohammed Al Fayed keeps coming to mind. The longtime owner of Harrods has been trying to obtain British citizenship for decades and still has not been granted that privilege for one reason or another.

I wonder whether Malta’s due diligence would accept his application seeing that he fits all the requirements listed in these discussions. He has a lot of talent. And where would that put our diplomatic relations with the British?

Likewise I am sure there are similar situations with other EU brothers of ours.

Going through passport control is going to be an interesting experience again.

In reply to just me.

Probably a party in government that found a way to drop a government case against itself, can find a way to waiver a couple of insignificant prerequisites for admission to an electoral register.

Assuming the Opposition has enough time to analyse and filter out those on the register through this scheme, it will still take them ages to contest it.

The Opposition should make this one of its main points from now till next election and pull all the strings it can to find out who the individuals are. Not easy considering that PL has put its henchmen in full control.
