In reply to math. The political situation is such that should Muscat resign but seek another mandate at the polls, he would be re-elected perhaps with a strong margin too. The chances of the Nationalist Party has never been so bad. [Daphne - When the prime minister resigns, he is succeeded by another member of his cabinet. Fresh elections are held when the government resigns, and not when the prime minister resigns.]

Why not start a petition asking for Joseph Muscat's resignation? [Daphne - Oh, please.]

In reply to Antoine Vella. Backtracking and renegging are the areas of expertise of the charlatan. That's the roadmap in two words.

At this rate, it is but a matter of time before the few Nationalist supporters who are not totally upset at the party’s lack of presence and action will start referring to its flag as “it-tapit” rather than “il-maduma”!

The honourable way forward is for Joseph to submit his resignation. Then the President will not accept given his sterling job so far.

Konrad will feel guilty for the embarrassment and offer his resignation. Joseph will not accept his resignation, of course given Konrad’s sterling job.

And the people will be happy.

My take is that the project will be finished some time in 2017. It will be very useful for PL to ramp their campaign for the 2018 election – even if they can deliver it before, now that the promise is broken, nothing in it for them to deliver it earlier.

And by then everyone will have forgotten of the 2-year promise.

And the people will be happy.

In reply to math. No he won't. He would never dare the risk of being ousted from power.

In reply to Antoine Vella. Spot on, Antoine. The moment Muscat is observed in that perspective, he's painful to watch.

In reply to charlie.

charlie, nahseb anke Muscat stess nduna li f’hames xhur ma’ kellux cans ilesti. Jekk Muscat ghandu xi haga, hija li jxomm kif jizloq.

Il-possibilitajiet huma tnejn, jekk behsiebu jaghmilha, ghadu lanqas biss beda’, qatt ma’ kienet; jien pero’ ghandi dubji kbar kemm din il-weghda qatt kienet tezisti.

Anke ghax dak li kienu pprezentaw kien bluha u teknikament bla sens. Malta m’ghandiex domanda interna biex infrastruttura kapitali minn dik l-ghamla taghmel sens kummercjali.

Spicca ntrabat li jibniha meta seta’ tkellem mod iehor fuq il-kontijiet. Beza’ li n-Nazzjonalisti kellhom informazzjoni ahjar u fettillu jiskappricca progett biex jevita il-gideb tieghu stess.

Li tuza kwart ta’ kemm jiflah jaghti l-interconnector u tgiddeb xjenzati fuq il-BWSC konsegwenzi tas-sahna tal-mument. U x’ala biebu.

Il-fatt li l-gideb jiehdu mal-kafe’ flok iz-zokkor pero’ ghandha tkun il-punt kardinali tal-opposizzjoni.

Anke ghax tehles dawk li vvutawlu.
