In reply to Wilson. Very valid point. And which part of the budget is dealing with the setting up of that giant tent?

That was interesting, Ciccio. Thank you.

This is where the PN went wrong I’m afraid. They worked hard and had so many projects going, but unfortunately, most of them went unnoticed because they lacked the proper public relations.

Let’s hope they learned their lesson and start showing us common people what their aims are for the future. Simon Busuttil’s speech in parliament regarding the sale of citizenship was a good start.

If a local actor is their idea of a film star, think of what influence Joseph must wield.

The aura is fake, but that’s their reality.

“Perception is real even when this is not reality.”

The “six values medals” of a system have as their quality focus in top-down pyramid structure: Silver, representing the organisation; Gold, representing People (employees and party members/electorate); Steel, representing quality; Glass, representing Creativity and Innovation; Wood: representing politics and environment; and lastly on the bottom left of the pyramid: Brass, representing perceived image.

Typically, in most organisations, perceived image is the weakest.

Knowing this, the focus here has been to destroy the perceived image of the opponent and in any which way possible, strengthen their own.

A value is anything that creates an impact. This can have a negative or positive weighting. Lists can be made under each medal. A gut feeling assessment (not calculation) will reveal whether values new or as yet unnamed have not been identified on your list. The weighting given to each value and then the whole list under each medal should be on a scale from 1 to 4 and /or -1 to -4.

Now don’t tell me that the Labour clowns will have to find more positions on government boards, commissions, conventions, agencies, for those faces in the fresh wave of billboards?

In reply to R Camilleri. Ah, but that's not good for the sheep. They wouldn't understand anything by reading. It is far easier for them to understand if they see a picture. Typical Labour, they thrive on ignorance.

It seems that the government has enough money to erect stupid and meaningless billboards but then it did not find any resources to build a website explaining the new measures and taxes introduced in the budget, like the Nationalist government used to do.

PL is and will remain in election mode. There are the EP elections next May and that’s one election PL do not want to lose.

The current Italian President, who was one of the leaders of the dissolved Partito Comunista Italiano (PCI) in the 70s and 80s was involved in the (at that time) illegal financing from the Soviet Union, KGB and the STASI, the criminal secret service of the German Demo-comunist republic. That financing was illegal because in Italy it was a crime, heavily punished.

What about Malta? Is it a crime also here that a party receive unofficially financial contribution from foreign countries or enterpreneurs? Clearly that would alter the political competition and would not be fair and would allow “an election campaign every year”.

PS please note that Malta should NOT take example from the Italian neighbours because they, in order to save PCI and their “compagnucci”, the italian parliament decided to change the criminal code and eliminate the crime of illegal financing to the political parties :-)
