As he seeks to recover the lost support of the extremists in his party, Muscat is scaring the moderates away from the party.
I do not think so. My options are still open. I barely vote on what politicians say and rhetoric.
The least – and the proper – thing you could do is to vote on what politicians do. If, that is, you are observant enough to follow the course of politics.
The term ‘floater’, incidentally, always reminds me of very unsavoury objects occasionally seen on the surface of the sea.
And the sixteen years before those twenty five are what then?
I’m more worried by the potential 25 years that might follow the PN’s 25.
I would sleep well at night. From the attitude I am seeing, the odds dictate otherwise.
Flagell
By any chance,was Joseph facing Alfred Sant when he said this without looking embarrassed?
What cheek – 25 years with a brief interruption of two years which if you are positive you must forget.
The irony of life. Who thought that we would live to see Muscat scaring those electors who will not be voting?
Such abstentions are likely to include a lot of disappointed Labour voters.
But this is not what Joseph Muscat told voters to do in the EU membership referendum. Then he told voters to vote No, ABSTAIN, or put their vote in a frame, like him.
Why should they heed his advice now?

U bhala kastig dahhalna fl-EU
Brilliant.
Konna aħjar meta konna agħar.
So, by extension, becoming a member of the EU was also punishment. Showing his true colours again, I see.
Joseph Muscat’s entire life, education and career is the result of those 25 years of PN government policy, including the EU membership he exploited to his own ends. Hardly a ‘kastig’.
Judging by the level of obesity in Malta, ranking as it does in first place, that is out of a total of 28 Member States, yes, one can deduce that the 25 years of PN government were indeed years of hardship and starvation.
The prime minister thinks he can say whatever he likes. I wonder what those switchers are saying.
The next four years are going to be a punishment for Malta.
Bring ‘punishment’ back.
Malta deserved a twenty-five year punishment in 1987 for having voted a revolting and obnoxious monster into power in three consecutive elections.
It deserved much worse than a PN government.
I would say it got away lightly.
Punishment for Malta indeed. It was during the PN-led governments that Muscat was give a certain assurance that his studies will not be interrupted.
It was under the PN that he got his Masters and his PhD (?). His great admirer Aaron-Six-Degrees managed to move up the Intellectual Ladder (being ironic here, mind you) under consecutive PN governments, as many of the other Pl Elves did. The younger generation within the PL itself are better off now thanks to the PN, including their Leader. Punishment indeed.
Just over a year under Joey ta’ Kastilja and we got only 2cents worth of nothing while the authentic Evil Klikk got thousands of euros paid the taxes of us hardworking mortals.
Daphne, kif ma nistax nara progett wiehed biss li ma nbediex minn Gvern Nazzjonalista bis-sahha ta’ fondi mill-Ewropa – dik l-Ewropa li JM&Co ma ridux li nkunu parti minnha?
In trying to audibly please the few, he is losing the game. Self destruction at its best.
Some punishment indeed. Over the last 25 years:
I learned what the right of free speech was, when once I could walk freely in our streets holding the “In-Nazjon” without anyone hurling insults at me.
I discovered given the right of free assembly and I could join my father at meetings and other party events without fear of repression by the police or other MLP thugs.
I was given the right to education. My school was never closed down again and I could get into university on my own merits rather than through the assistance of a “parrinu” or other political connections.
Most importantly, I was finally recognised as a European citizen, with all the rights (and obligations) that this entails. I was treated by my European peers as an equal and I could freely enjoy my rights, knowing that never again, would any government, be able to deprive me of them.
All this and more, much more.
Admittedly, Malta was not heaven on earth. Yet it is a far cry from what Malta used to be before 1987. Towards the end of the last 25 years of “punishment”, I could openly critisise my own democratically elected government, without fear of being singled out for retribution by uniformed thugs, being locked up in the police depot, and being found a few days later shot dead in a ditch.
No, these last 25 years were not years of punishment. But if this is what punishment entails, then please, bring it on.
Hafna ma jaqblux mal-PM meta jghid li 25 sena ta’ gvern Nazzjonlista kienu kastig.
Bl-istess argument tieghu, min jahseb li n-Nazzjonalisti gabu hafna gid, u mhux kastig, ghal Maltin kollha ghandu jivvota lil PN biex jirringrazzjahom.
U dan il-bozza tal-elf, jghid li jrid jaghmel kampanja posittiva.U li in-Nazzjonalisti huma negattivi. Donnu diehel il-paniku!
If the 25 years of PN government were a punishment, I just realised that I must be a masochist.
