Good idea,
It might give time to the P.N. to come back to life again

Not a bad idea.

It might give the P.N.enough time to stand on its feet again.

Tiftakru kemm kien jixxalaw il-Labour ma kull elezzjoni tal-Kunsilli Lokali li kienu jirbhu?

U kemm kienu jghidu li n-Nazzjonalisti qed jitilfu l-maggoranza ecc ecc?

Mela issa Joseph issospenda l-elezzjonijiet tal-Kunsilli Lokali sas-sena 2019 biex:

1. ibieghed kull kritika jew ‘backlash’ li jista’ jkollu jekk jibda jitlef l-elezzjonijiet tal-Kunsilli Lokali

2. U fuq kollox ukoll l-elezzjoni li jmiss ma tkunx imtapma b’xi disfatti elettorali

3. Elezzjoni tal-EU fadalla hames snin u l-elezzjoni ta’ wara tkun tal-anqas 4 snin ‘il boghod.

Nispera li n-Nazzjonalisti jindunaw minn issa li mal-Labour Party f’dawn l-affarijiet ma jezistux ideat li tkun fair jew timxi kif suppost ghax lanqas bi tromba ma jarawh il-gvern

Demokrazija ilha bye bye minn dak il hin li hadu l-gurament

That’s all we need, more people chosen by the government and paid for by us. The direct link between the administration and the people are the members of parliament who are voted for in order to act as they were asked to by the people based on their electoral programme.

Hitler suppressed elections and established his dictatorship and his short-lived “thousand year Reich” by declaring an indefinite state of emergency.

What’s next mr. Mugabe.

Is this just an indirect way of postponing the referendum to appease the hunters yet again?
