Baxxter, I rate you with a keen sense of observation.

Why do you think that Franco Debono said he would support Chris Said for PN leadership two years ago if it wasn&#039;t already on the cards at that time?

http://www.maltatoday.com.mt/news/national/20127/franco-debono-would-support-chris-said-for-pn-leader-20120806#.U7cs-0BWo_c

The undercurrents that have been working for a number of years certainly didn&#039;t help Lawrence Gonzi but then the man was too stubborn to understand his predicament. It is thanks to him we are now in such a mess as a country.

With Gonzi gone, the problem for Said is now called Simon Busuttil.]]></description>

I thought I&#039;d use some unspoken words for commentary here, but to hell with it - this country needs clarity and forthrightness. 

So here it is: Are you saying that Chris Said is a liability to the Nationalist Party because he is trying to undermine Simon Busuttil, just like Mario Demarco? Or are you saying that Chris Said is a liability because he is corrupt? Or is he both?

At the moment I think the biggest problem for the Nationalist Party is not Labour, or the elections, or even the disastrous finances. It&#039;s Mario Demarco. What does he really want? What is he playing at? Is he trying to engineer an electoral defeat for Simon Busuttil so he can be party leader? 

(What then? Demarco as Prime Minister in 2023, in his fifties?)]]></description>

You&#039;ll be surprised if you take a closer look, Baxxter. Very surprised. Indeed extremely surprised.

Dalli too was also seen in very good light for a long long time because he always delivered but then ambition kicked in.]]></description>

Me too, until I heard him speak (in not too good English, I recall) in Toronto when he was Minister of Finance.
From that day on, my opinion of him headed South!]]></description>

The more time passes , the more we are realizing how right and prophetic Gonzi was, and that he was a man of great integrity and vision. 

Even the most idiotic of switchers must have realized that by now.]]></description>
