Yes, she does sound thrilled at having discovered concepts and arguments relatively late, throwing undigested soundbites at any interlocutor to leave some mark. 

Then there&#039;s the obsession with capital as something to define at all costs. Define as in cage to control. In her case, it serves her well, no conflict with her personal interests whatsoever. 

That&#039;s where the confusion arises, although it could be more an intention to harness support for planned business models than mere good, naive faith. 

Complaining afterwards becomes the alibi to get what she deserves, which isn&#039;t necessarily political space, more like physical volume in every village core. 

Her game is blind, religious trust.]]></description>

1:58; 2:32-2:44 of the latter You Tube clip

Marlene Farrugia has been used as a mouthpiece for quite a long time.

This type of woman is the type that needs il-parir ta&#039; Gorg Abela biex tasal ghal-opinjoni? ghal-fehma? - not impressed in the least. Spin already at work?

The type of woman who deals with the problem created and not the vision required to prevent it.

The type of woman who feels it&#039;s ok to speak out against certain poll-sticking points whilst completely ignoring fundamentals such as the lies of this Government and the manner in which it has misrepresented its agenda before the Maltese electorate?

The body-language again speaks volumes.

The final flick-back of the hair in the current Malta Independent stream to reveal a religious symbol for an earring, coincidentally the same religion that took a bashing by Michelle Muscat who earned herself a right lashing for the latest shamble performance?

Whilst I don&#039;t discount anything and whilst internal quibbles will be exploited, whether Marlene Farrugia realises it or not she has been positioned as an instrument to be played at will from day one of this administration.

If Joseph Muscat had a modicum of respect for her, and any seriousness at all to his dealings with people as individuals, he would never have put her in the initial position he did.

If Marlene Farrugia was an authentically outspoken woman, her reactions would not wait to be shaped by the results of events (and other people, again?) that she has already actively participated in:
 
her thoughts should have gotten her there beforehand and her actions synchronised accordingly to shape that first result correctly.

No use complaining afterwards - unless that is the sole objective. In performing her allotted role she comes across as a very confused woman.

Whilst she was supposedly thinking of the social capital of the nation in the internal discussions on divorce, what was her excuse for the IIP scam? Spin by One already had her sorted. Saviour, obligingly at the ready.

This woman doesn&#039;t know the meaning of backbone. She is of the exact same ilk as those that have created &quot;Government by confusion.&quot;

She still belongs to a generation and class of woman whose opinions are second rate because - according to how she has presented herself - they have neither been tailored or shaped in time nor individually assimilated.

She is a woman.  
She has the baggage she does.  
She is a useful mouthpiece for the Labour Party.  
She is not given a position of importance.  
This is her position of importance: at the gatepost - a sentinel reporting positions.

The women Joseph Muscat really admires and rewards are 
i)  loyal to him;
ii) have a different sleaze base.

If she was really honest about wanting to do the best for the &quot;social capital of the nation&quot;, she would admit it and get rid of the &quot;false idols&quot; that interfere with this agenda.

But she won&#039;t. 

She is compromised.

Imagine Joseph Muscat on a foot-pedalled Singer:  
Marlene Farrugia &quot;the mouthpiece&quot; is stitched up.]]></description>
