Don’t get me started Antoine, it seems Raphael Vassallo thinks it should be a PL-PN battle. Otherwise he wouldn’t be thrilled.

I give up.

Last week he said politics should be left out of it.That people have the right to a referendum.

Muscat changed tack, from blocking it to ‘ultimately it’s the people’s choice’.

Busuttil said politics should be kept out of it last Sunday, Muscat challenged him to take a stand on Monday.

The moment Muscat challenges and a bunch of idiots kick off with the catcalls he retreats alongside.

So bloody what if he was in the midst of a derogation over a decade ago?

Malcolm, not voting when you would usually vote PN means indirect support for Labour in this case.

There you go:

Dr Busuttil has just handed over victory to the hunters. By any yardstick, the only option open to genuine environmentalists is to vote AD.

Totally agree. The PN should not fall in Muscat’s trap again.

The PN has not taken a stand. I have just heard Dr. Busuttil say the referendum issue is in the hands of the people and not politicians.

Totally agree with your line of thought. Unfortunately PN just took a stand and I just decided not to vote PN for the first time.
