In reply to H.P. Baxxter. I meant divergence. I'm slipping.

In reply to P Shaw. It's completely apt. The only point of diversions is the invasion of Poland and the organised killings. But the rest is all there, including the slogans, the national interest, and the election through ostensibly democratic means.

The comparison of Muscat with Hitler is not too far off the mark, even if not PC. Reading about Hitler’s rise after he was released from prison during the Great Depression, one cannot help but notice Hitler’s use of the terms ‘Nazi movement’ rather than political party or ideology, and enticing Germans with ‘positive energy’ during those times.

In reply to Neil. In 2003 after the general election defeat, Sant resigned but they begged him to come back. Go figure.

Brava – this is an excellent piece, Daphne. People forget, or sweep this kind of thing under the carpet while Labour in power. Why? Because Labour are in power and we ALWAYS expect less of Labour. Anything goes.

[Daphne – It’s a guest post, not mine.]

When was Alfred Sant ever ‘positive’? Simon Busuttil has been in charge at the PN for a little over a year, and the Labour rabble are beying for his resignation having lost out in the general election, and again in the EP election. After just over a year.

What on Earth should they have said about Sant, who lost in 1998 after his 20-odd month debacle. lost in 2003, then lost AGAIN in 2003, but still then waited a full five years, while suffering a dreadful illness, to only lose again in 2008 before his ONLY route was resignation.

The Prime Minister of Malta is accountable only to the electorate, which can show its approval or otherwise with its vote at a general election.

Until then, the PM can do what he wants. Not happy about that? Then blame the previous government who had 25 years to put checks and balances in place but instead decided to take advantage themselves.

Gonzi ‘looked after’ Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando and Franco Debono to keep them quiet. Muscat looks after Mizzi’s wife. What’s the difference? Will the next PM change anything?
