In reply to tinnat.

I just can’t understand why they can’t wrap their heads around the fact that gender can just be inconsequential at times when voting.

I voted for people who I thought would do a good job; it just turned happens that three of them were women.

That is how the emancipation of women should be achieved, by a merit that is there indubitably, not by any “positive discrimination” that actually demeans womanhood.

In reply to U Le!.

I gave my number 1 to Helga Ellul, and she’s a woman.

Alas, she’s also a “barranija”. But we can still have her as finance minister in 2018. Or perhaps as foreign minister, with Ray Bugeja as finance minister. A bit of rapprochement with Germany won’t hurt.

It wouldn’t hurt as much as rapprochement with China, at any rate.

In reply to Spock.

Let’s cut this crap about negativity. The audience wants a position statement from the candidate it votes for.

It doesn’t want to hear a wishywashy answer.

It wants a cleara and outright position.

Each audience group looks for this. That is the future for the PN strategy to win the next election.

The MLP always win! Remember the ‘partnership’ referendum?

But who cares – PN have won three seats and that is enough to start the ball rolling. It’s even on seats so it’s a draw BUT PN increased a seat and there is no denying that.

I voted no1 for Stefano Mallia, 2 for Roberta Metsola, 3 for Therese Comodini Cachia etc. No disrespect to the others but in my humble opinion they were the best 3 in the list. Women do not need positive discrimination. When voting you should look at the abilities and track record of the candidate not what genital organs they possess.

In reply to Mike. Having ANY degree doesn't necessarily make you suitable for the EP. (Especially with all the rubbish that graduates from the University of Malta.)

I agree with Edgar. Stop grumbling about the leadership and let us work with them to strengthen the party and prepare for the next general election.

And please people should stop complaining that they haven’t been visited by a single PN candidate during the past years. Exactly why do you want so much to be visited by politicians? Aren’t you getting attention anywhere else?
