He&#039;s been joined by Grixti, this &#039;maggioranza taghna naghmlu li rridu&#039; got viral. 

These people need to make up their minds whether they&#039;re ready to grind this place to a halt to forcefully reset everything or admit plain inadequacy. (It is never good for an economy, on which they vouched their Damascene conversion, to stoke pure ideological division.) 

When they moan about the PN&#039;s 25 years in government that becomes a tall order, the country having established systems and a mindset geared towards concerted changes, in a style which won&#039;t be given up easily by the public, notwithstanding the defeat.  

If they really mean what they say, it should be the Opposition in parliament first, followed by all stakeholders and collective voting agendas. Unless, of course, they do NOT have a problem with the last being out of their control. 

Don&#039;t want to sound arrogant, it is, in fact, rather the opposite, but power isn&#039;t something people used to authority and its exercise will ever lack. Not when these built themselves and all they do under successive PN administrative environments. Even building on top of achievements can be a tricky proposal, most players prefer evolution to some signature move to make a statement. 

Or better, we don&#039;t want a government to revolutionise the country&#039;s multiple routes Arriva style now do we? Hafna incertezza, the Labour big no-no. 

Seeing the controversy surrounding the contents of this citizenship scheme, how the polemic already stunted any possible potential and given the Commission&#039;s decision to proceed against Malta, it&#039;s neither long nor short term by any strategic standard. 

Just ask the players whether that&#039;s the way to go. Fine, we&#039;ll just shut up then, why Muscat said he won&#039;t discuss the matter any further, so there.]]></description>
