Absolutely spot on, does De Marco think he’ll be an asset if Busuttil’s shown the door?

Busuttil happens to be an outsider who has 2.3 billion euros to his credit. He has all the established contacts in Brussels, fifteen years of experience and expertise in all matters EU.

When Labour’s agenda is a double-dealing EU hostile business strategy, Busuttil will remain the only thing between us and their unpublished commitments.

Busuttil challenged the party to understand its moral obligation and natural duty to govern this place.

Something Louis Grech knows, calling it the stamperija’s arrogance to believe the PN has a natural right to govern.

Indeed minister, the PN has a moral duty to lead this country, something you won’t engage, being a fake set of professionally styled lingo and inorganic blurb.

The PN has the best possible opportunity to rebuild itself, constellate currents and crystallise contrasts, rendering these complementary. If being conservative ever made sense, it’s a vocation to a sense of order.

Only Malta’s most voted representative can make that work.

Ilqatt il-liks Belti.

Kulhadd ghandu jiehu responsabilita’ ghalfejn il-partit nesa’ sia l-lingwa Ngliza sia l-ohra li hadd ma jrid isemmi.

Basta Liberali. Kieku mqar jitniffsu u jikxfu dak li ghandhom f’qalbhom. Forsi jibda’ jitrawwem il-hsieb, mhux spiccajna nippretendu dak li m’ahniex, nigru wara Muscat u nhallu l-kap jaqla’ l-hama ta’ haddieor.

anna caruana, I hope you realise your agenda has been predicted since Busuttil’s election to leadership.

And you’ll still have Massimo Borg ranting the same. Unless all that matters is to keep this liberal/conservative match going, just for fun.

Busuttil meantime chose the job everyone keeps pushing onto each other. I’m a Busuttil puppet if you ask me.

What are you.

There is. He started to show it on Dissett.

If that’s what it takes, it will work, especially within the party itself.

Il-lejalta ghandha tkun assoluta.

Imma kultant nahseb, avvolja minn 1977 ‘l hawn ghaddew 37 sena certu nies ghadhom ma nsewx.

There’s no question about the contrast in style.

Unfortunately, it’s not you and I that need convincing.

And if others aren’t convinced, then there must be something other than style that is lacking, surely.

If there’s tough in Busuttil, he must have been keeping it under wraps.

“Those who are asking for his resignation or removal are not true Nationalist supporters. If they are so keen to have a PN that’s like Labour, why aren’t they voting Labour?”

I suppose I’m one “not true” Nationalist supporter.

I’m not keen to have a PN that’s like Labour. I’m keen, however, to have a leader capable of taking on Muscat and of convincing people without much effort.

I’m keen to have a leader who’s himself convinced and capable of convincing the rest of the leadership and the party’s current support base that personal religious beliefs have absolutely no place in modern politics.

Why am I not voting Labour? Because I’m true to the PN, and because I recognise how valuable the PN has been to our country and want it to evolve and continue to be even more valuable.

Are you telling me and others that if we’re not happy with the leader’s performance, we should vote Labour? So, given recent polls showing leaders’ approval rating margins roughly double the parties’ support margins, would you have been happier with a more devastating defeat and consequently even greater pressure for a change in leadership?

What party? The last I heard was that the MLP was finished and what they have now is a movement.

The MLP changed its name.

The MLP changed its logo.

The MLP changed itsr flag.

The MLP changed its full identity because it is ashamed to show its past.

The MLP had a member who split the party to become leader.

The MLP had a leader who never won an election.

The MLP had a leader who won an election once and then was unable to hold onto power for more than 22 months.

The MLP had a leader who called a former MLP leader ‘traditur’ not once, not twice, but three times.

The MLP had a leader who has been demoted to an MEP.

The MLP has a leader who wants to hide its past leadership because it is an embarrassment.

Labour Party functionaries have said they are pleased Simon Busuttil is staying on.

Well, we are finally in agreement on something.

I too am pleased that Simon Busuttil is staying on, because in one short year he has managed to win that third seat for the PN that has been elusive for the past ten years.

Oh, and speaking of assets, I think Kurt Sansone’s lack of credibility is an asset to The Malta Independent.
