Comments on: Well, that’s interesting: the prime minister is more popular with the old and the middle-aged than with the young https://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2014/05/well-thats-interesting-the-prime-minister-is-more-popular-with-the-old-and-the-middle-aged-than-with-the-young/ Daphne Caruana Galizia is a journalist working in Malta.

It is precisely for that reason that people who have experienced the Mintoff years should be running diametrically opposite to little Joey’s muvument.

I fail to grasp the reason for his popularity, unless it’s some sort of unconscious comparison with Simon Busuttil.

The forgotten generation (and the finest).

His future beckons.

Muscat has been trusted with that responsibility for the past year. He is defaulting by the hour seeking applause for what he had promised, what he is still promising and what he is still failing to deliver.

This one is at someone’s doorstep, take note.

He’ll know full well who he is.

I suspect that Gozitans generally reply to questions of this sort in a way that they perceive is the required response. They then do what they really believe, in the privacy of the election booth.

Trustworthy. Is 25 to 34 the lowest age bracket tested?

Those in the 45+ age bracket were brought up within the Labour Mintoff years, so for them a certain style of doing politics is all they knew as children.

I still believe that once my generation and that after me reach middle age there might be a shift in attitudes. Although I sometimes doubt it.
