If she had back bone she wouldn’t have voted in favour of selling Maltese citizenship.

Words are to be backed by actions in the same direction. It is useless acting out the opposite when the result remains the same.

So far, until she proves otherwise, she is still just another player in this sham – with a specific role to garner sympathy from those sliding outwards towards the Nationalist Party’s values.

Lucky you, Mr Borg Fiteni.

For those who experienced government my Mintoff and KMB this is only a deja vu experience.

In reply to david farrugia. He is holding these sham discussions in an attempt to get enough time to issue those important promised passports...even before the secrecy-removal amendment has been made.Unfortunately it seems that he is succeeding.

I think the ones that voted for him, underestimated him more than those that didn’t.

I’ve had hands on experience with his glib talk when he was a MEP. All promises and no delivery.

For those of us who lived through the terrible 70s and early 80s, we know exactly what it means to live in fear of your country’s own government.

We had sworn never again, but were eventually let down by our own who got much too comfortable and complacent. History has a nasty habit of repeating itself.

There are however notable differences between Mintoff and Muscat. The latter is turning out to be a worse nightmare.

However, he has encountered a major stumbling block in the EU, and we only have that formidable Eddie Fenech Adami and the Nationalist Party to really thank for that hedging policy against a Labour return to power.

I just hope there are more Labour MPs with some back bone like Marlene Farrugia who are willing to save our country from this bully. At least they will not go down in history shamefully with the likes of Lorry Sant, KMB, Mintoff and now JM.

Is there a link were one can here Dr.Muscat’s speech in parliament? I think that it should be published; the more people hear it the better since it shows the real character of Dr. Muscat.

I did not vote Labour, but believe me I did not underestimate him for one minute. In fact I was looked at as quite a fanatic when I tried to make people understand that he is exactly what he is proving to be.

I do not consider myself a super intelligent person, but the signs were so clear, that I am still surprised that so many people did not read them.

I must say, I do find some pleasure in telling those same people who thought I was exaggerating “I told you so”.

In reply to david farrugia. Actually, if I were David Curmi I would be ashamed to be seen anywhere at this stage.

Just like a cat, so easygoing and nice when cuddled and pampered but turns into a ferocious, frightening animal, when it is cornered with its back against the wall.
