The only thing that sold was the promise of corruption, with the Blokka “Silg” to prove it.

You think he’d be hob-nobbed with if it wasn’t for that?

That would encompass the “vizjoni tal-maggoranza” at the 2013 elections.

Muscat’s over-riding quality which put him in prime position, is the negative one of being able to lie through his teeth, stall, and poke childish jibes with nowt but a furrow.

And to organise the underworld in circular direct-loop formation.

Nothing to do with looks. It could have been any dogsbody, even Kurt Farrugia.

The best description was given by DCG herself…. TAD-DAQQIET TA’ HARTA :)

His looks sell well. The Maltese, and indeed any people, sit up and take notice when something different comes along. Muscat sold himself as that something different. Unlike every other prime minister we’ve had, he’s a ginger.

The Maltese are closet Nordicists, whatever they, or their priests, may say. Blonde works. Ginger works too. Tall and blonde works even better.

I know it’s a taboo but I no longer give a fcvk.

[Daphne – You’re wrong. Tall and good-looking, seriously posh (for want of another word) and well-spoken is what works. It’s the British/American model. And he can he be dark, blonde, red-haired or mousy, and he’ll win hands down. Muscat’s physical appearance actually works against, not for, him.]

Not that direction of genetic aberration, Baxxter.

“What a person looks like” gives a good number of indicators for the rest, as long as one is both well-seasoned in recognising the indicators and confident enough to act independently on this input.

Imma ginger, Tabatha. Busuttil mhux. Viva n-Nordicizmu Taghna Lkoll!

My generation has struggled to bring Malta forward and we managed. Let us hope and pray that whoever governs will continue to do so for the good of all Maltese.

I call that sexist, very much in keeping with his process of evolution from school nerd to the “now I’m powerful” persona. In his chauvinist mind, women have no power, so he can ignore them.
