I think the feeble-mindedness is yours, Floater.

My logic is simple. I’ll use your own sentence construction, so I make sure you understand:

Since Labour wanted to keep us out of the EU, they should never govern.

A party that opposes EU membership is not fit to govern. It is a matter of principle and it’s got nothing to do with membership conditions. For Malta, the EU is Europe. Without the EU, we are not in Europe. I WANT a higher authority to set standards for my national government. Labour doesn’t, because they like to do as they please. It is a question so vital to the national interest that hindsight can never be a substitute for good judgement in the first place.

Nor even a national apology, which was never forthcoming in any case. The only decent thing Labour could have done after 2003 was to disband the party. But they didn’t.

So why should I vote for them?

There. Without emotions. And I never once mentioned the other party.

So in Floater’s opinion “the people preferred one Party to get us in, but then another Party to govern us through, exposing real mettle…. however cynical…. A majority cannot be wrong….”

I believe judgement on a government’s performance is not passed by majorities which, in the nature of things, are conditioned by the short-term peculiarities of space and time.

The real judge is history and to those who are intellectually honest and objective, history has proven time and again that, despite its deficiencies and omissions, the Nationalist Party has consistently been the better option in terms of governance, human rights, economic development and social stability, and the long-term vision for our country.

True, Baxxter. And yes, it is unbelievable what laser eye surgery can do: in the case of Joseph Muscat, it improved his hindsight.

A majority cannot be wrong? lol, how wrong you are. Galileo was alone with tens of peer scientists egging the Pope to have him burned at the stake for his heresy. But Galileo was right.

When Einstein escaped to the United States during the Nazi take over of Germany, 100 Nazi scientists wrote a letter denouncing him and his ‘corrupt’ science. When a journalist showed this news to Einstein – ‘100 NAZI SCIENTISTS AGAINST EINSTEIN – his famous reply was: “If I am wrong, one scientist would have been enough”

So, false Floater, read some history, find the truth and you will be set free from your political bondage.

Bollocks.

Persil and Floater, you’re both idiots who should never be trusted with a vote.

The only valid reason that you had to vote against joining the EU was because Alfred Sant (and of course Tony Zarb) ordered you so.

Tony Zarb does not count, and Alfred Sant is now being presented as if he was always very much in favour of our joining.

If you don’t believe me, listen to Simone Cini on the TV programme, Biografija ta’ Alfred Sant.

Because of the yes/no divide, the PN at that time was forced to accommodate as much as possible that other sorry lot, our hunters and trappers.

The whole point is that the Labour Party got it all wrong in such a simple yes/no decision, and for its own selfish reasons, and against our common good, put up such a fierce battle against joining.

Gharu kaza Daphne kemm inti giddieba, tal-Labour kolla ivvutaw IVA ghas-shubuja mal-Ewropa! Dan kollu gideb u ngan.

Kemm kien nerd, ciccio. Inkredibbli x’tista’ taghmel b’laser eye surgery u makeover.
