I&#039;ve thought hard about how to vote in May. The thing is I&#039;m sick of the old, Maltese way of doing politics.

To these people, it&#039;s a bloody hobby. If you&#039;re a candidate, you go on TV, you have a bit of fun, smile at everyone, &#039;ave a larf, and then wake up for a debate on the morrow.

It&#039;s all wrong. Politics is dead serious. 

And if it means I have to strike off almost all of the PN contingent off my voting list, and if that means Labour will elect five MEPs, then so be it. Things have to change. 

What else am I to do? What else CAN I do? They won&#039;t listen. The only tool at my disposal is my vote. Anyone who indulges in hamallagni and idiotification gets left out. It&#039;s only fair.]]></description>

This is quite a rash and unorthodox way of eliminating a candidate from your choice, Baxxter. To me she is one of the most valid ones. Granted, this is subjective, however her cool, calm and collected style, her knowledge of many subjects and her oratory style are not to be discounted, in my opinion.]]></description>

Norman Vella should never been a candidate in the first place. Haven&#039;t we learned anything from our past mistakes.

With regards to the candidates&#039; participation in that utterly insipid show, well, it shows how pathetic Maltese politics are. On the other-hand I would not strike Comodini Cachia from my ballot just for that. That is the way things have always been in this &#039;paese di nani&#039;.]]></description>
