No. We’d need someone who’s financially and maritally stable to lead it, or it would look like campus politicking. I want a real electable alternative, not a protest party. I’ll be the chief strategist and write its policies. But someone else must lead it.

Oh and in answer to Angus Black’s comment, which I shall write in block capitals: THE QUALITY OF THE ELECTORS MATTERS NOT ONE JOT.

A number on a ballot sheet is just that. All votes are equal, and I am happy with anyone’s vote, be it that of thieves, crooks and scoundrels, bird-shooters, screaming harridans, hamalli or snobs, Kenneth’s, Astrid’s, Norman Lowell’s or even Kevin Ellul Bonici’s.

Technically, you could use it to promote yourself as an honest broker when resolving inter-state conflicts, like Switzerland has been doing for years.

Then again, I hardly imagine someone like Muscat or Vella being able to convince anyone that they can be honest.

Will you lead it? Women would vote in droves.

Indeed Bax, but the new Liberal Republican Party will be made up mostly from supporters of party 1a and party 1b, the same dimwits, opportunists and why not, corrupt elements.

So, we will end up with Parties 1a, 1b and 1c. Remember it’s the same pie the parties will share.

When forming a Party, it is not only the quality of candidates which counts, it is also the quality of party members/supporters who vote for it.

Ironic, isn’t it?

“In order to do so we believe that we should treasure and actively use our Constitutional neutrality”.

“Actively use neutrality”?

How can one be active when ‘neutrality’ prevents one from doing something?

Why not, miskina.

We are the ones who voted PN so this country could drag itself into Europe and modernity, only to find that nothing really changed after 2003, except for a flood of EU funds.

We are the ones who voted PN because we thought they wanted to change the paradigm, only to find they wanted more of the same: lucre and feathered nests, more concrete and high-rises, kacca fir-rebbiegha and a massive nanny state.

We are the ones who voted PN in 2013 despite the malpractice and corruption and the sclerotic thought processes of the administration and the ignorance, stupidity, cupidity and pig-headedness of most of its candidates, because they were the better option.

Only to be told, once the votes were counted, that the Nationalist Party is now in sync with Labour and won’t oppose anything. Because it’s good to be “positive”. And nothing in Maltese society is to be changed, no matter how rotten, because it’s good to be patriotic, and these are all traditions, right?

We’ve had enough of this crap. Malta needs a second party. Not a third party, but a second one, given that Labour and the Nationalist Party are option 1a and 1b. We need Option 2. Call it the Liberal Republican Party.

First he makes us pay the salaries of scores of party hacks and bear the burden of hundreds more useless public sector jobs like an extra ambassador in the form of Mrs Konrad Mizzi.

He sells off our national energy infrastructure to Communist China, he kicks out Arriva for a more expensive and less efficient option, plonks an enormous LNG tanker in the middle of our bay, and then he says he worries about the terrible cost of elections. Give us a break.
