Baxxter I’m on your side.

If we choose to make demi-gods of politicians (of any Party) then we should not complain when it creates arrogance and gives them a right to believe they are.

A spade should always be called a spade; whatever the circumstance.

I feel I must add a little explanatory note here.

I believe that the most fundamental principle of a well-organised society is justice. Good government must be founded on justice. Good governance too.

If you make the laws, then you must apply them. That is justice. You can debate the merits of a law, but if you believe in justice then you abhor two weighs, two measures.

Failure to prosecute Engerer Sr. for nonpayment of rent is therefore an injustice. It is contrary to everything I yearned for when I voted to join the EU.

That’s all there is to it. It’s not a question of which party is in government, but of me holding my government to account.

For the sake of the general peace on this blog, here’s a positive spin on this: let the Nationalist Party learn its lessons. If you make a rule, you must apply it. Always. On everyone. If something is worth doing, it’s worth doing well.

This is not the time to kid-glove the PN if we want a strong party to spring out of the ashes.

I’m for telling the PN where I feel they are going wrong come rain or shine. It may not make me popular but who gives a damn.

Unless that is done the PN will once again think it is superior among men, the elected members will become arrogant once again (some still are notwithstanding) and we shall rightfully suffer yet another defeat, we or the PN do not deserve.

Always keep in mind that the PN is NOT the Members of Parliament, the kunsilliera or even the party employees. The PN is us, me, Baxxter and all those who voted PN and we have a bloody right to say it how we feel it.

Lawrence Gonzi is gone, so we needn’t go there anymore. Let’s just ensure Simon Busuttil remains on the right track and let him know where we agree or don’t agree because that’s the only way that the PN will develop sufficient strength to beat Labour.

[Daphne – Your criticism is constructive and can’t be compared to the grinding negativity (not much different from the sort of moaning you hear from women on buses which helps you understand why their husbands are already at the village bar at 5am) which others favour. I can walk into a room and say ‘That cupboard doesn’t really fit with the space. If you do this, it will be better’ or I can say ‘Maaa, you’re always like that. You never get one thing right. That cupboard is horrible. Your taste is really bad. For God’s sake, what were you thinking? Sandra’s cupboard is so much nicer. Sandra has a better attitude. Why are you not more like Sandra?’ Which is better and more effective?]

A.Cremona, I’m afraid support doesn’t imply deluding ourselves this wasn’t the whole point of that defeat.

Or better, why bother if the principles we were to uphold were suspended for those who played their game?

One thing Labour realised, the PN was out of touch with the electorate. The question to ask is, does anyone expect Labour to define right and wrong without causing major collateral?

I see the planets align. Does Times of Malta really want to be seen doing this?

Call it as you see it, Baxxter. My voting PN does not preclude me from criticising them.

The bottom line is that it is not reasonable for a person with such a history and police record to be granted the title to a lease on a beach tenement.

So is nonpayment of rent.

Baxxter, stop persecuting the PN.

Not if you are well connected.
