Yes perhaps so.

The PN shed too many decent people along the way.

Too many newbies infiltrated it seeking fortune none of them having rolled up their sleeves in the MLP Golden Years.

Gonzi took them on because it suited him to have rookies around him and the disastrous electoral result was the outcome.

Roger De Giorgio was one of those young people who helped build the PN in the eighties. I am sure he would do it again given half a chance.

					<description><![CDATA[Saviour Balzan comes across as a man stuck in the past, in some stories that happened and for which he still feels he wants to take revenge or to &#039;seek justice.&#039;  

He gives the impression that after having been beaten some years ago, he is still on the ground, full of dust, complaining about his wounds, fuming at his adversaries and plotting revenge.

As you say, he comes across as obsessive and fixated.

He is not the only one - a number of politicians here in Malta seem to be in the same situation, including JDalliBA and Frankie Tabone.

Incidentally, they seem to flock together.

They need to deal with it.  They have to learn to deal with failures, and to rise every time they fall and stop wanting us to live in their past.]]></description>
