That also helps explain why many who voted Lowell also voted Labour. Seems they’re pretty much two sides of the same coin in the eyes of many.

Simon, those who think that any of Lowell’s arguments is valid have something wrong with the way their minds work. Formal education does not come into it.

Simon, voting for someone means that you want him/her elected irrespective of what one’s intentions are. Only non-thinking people use their votes to ‘protest.’ If you disagree with all the candidates then just don’t vote.

Then a referendum is done to decided if we need to go ahead with the process in the first place. In doing so reminding people why people really need to vote.

That’s your biased opinion . Many well educated people voted for him not necessarily because they wanted him in Brussels but to show the main parties that many of his arguments are valid and that the electorate want to see these issues addressed.

Well spotted J Vella. There’s your negative symbol.

Busuttil to understand loyalty was commitment to the country’s membership of the EU. No-one will blame him if he adopts a personal opinion, one positive for the birds.
