I don’t agree, ciccio. I believe that Mallia was never really accepted by the PL voters and if they are seeing him as an obstacle they will gladly see him go. The problem is the ‘hold’ he has on Muscat.
Muscat’s reaction of this evening is partly a result of that survey and other factors.
The question should simply have been: “Do you think that Minister Mallia should resign or be sacked”. Plain and simple. Why bring Simon Busuttil into it, if not as a (failed) attempt to persuade people to disagree with him.
Under cover is what I was in the first place. Yes, I have disappeared. I’ve been around for seven years now and what have I achieved? Nothing. Evil still thrives, and stupidity still reigns. Lately, I’ve been getting a torrent of abuse from Nationalists, alongside Labour’s. So what’s the point? It was never about politics, and yet they don’t get it.
Do you think this incident and they way they are handling it along with all the other MLP cockups in the last 20 months has made most of the switchers and floating voters who voted for Labour regret their decision ?
Could it possibly have even turned some traditional Labour voters against their own party ?
L-iswitchers ngħid li hemm minn qed jibki l-iżball li għamel imma l-laburisti ħorox jibqgħu jidħkulu anke waqt li jsawwathom! Imsieken x’għamad għandhom.
Some people just need/want to be told what to think, Labour fulfills that need perfectly. Some people’s brain has been outsourced to Super One.
I have seen people form an opinion of someone, before they actually meet them, as soon as they are told ‘dak orrajt maghna/taghna’, they decide that person is great.
During a mass meeting, mainly to do with the then situation at the Malta Drydocks, in the hottest of Labour districts, Mintoff labelled the ‘tarznari’ ‘bla bajd’. His words were met with deafening rounds of applause.
I cannot imagine Mallia accepting gracefully to step down. I am more inclined to beleive he will become another Jeffrey Pullicino Orland or Franco Debono and I am sure he has more than a seat in parliament with which to blackmail Joseph Muscat.
I’ve heard rumours that some hardcore Labour supporters still think of Manuel Mallia as a “Nazzjonalist” and hate the fact he’s so powerful within their party. Could this be one of the reasons they want him out?
[Daphne – You would want him out anyway, wouldn’t you. He’s a mess.]
The OPM will dismiss this as “Statistika fazulla.”

Agree 100 %
Cannot agree more! Dejjem idaħħlu lill-PN jew lil Dr Busutill fil-kredu.
Ma jafux jammettu l-iżbalji tagħhom u dan huwa l-gwaj kbir għalina. Il-kbir għadu ġej.
Wrong. Times of Malta actually got with this question 76% supporting Simon Busuttil.
How right you are!
Has anyone else noticed that HP Baxxter has disappeared lately?
He hasn’t really, he’s just under cover.
I thought he had a twin.

Baxxter, pack your bags and leave. I hoped Malta would change over 50 years. Well, it has changed but not how I wanted it to.

That sort of mentality never changes.

Does that answer your second question?
Joseph Muscat does not have the balls to sack Mallia or discipline any of his other misbehaving ministers.
In the meantime, the switchers must be kicking their backsides for having trusted this incompetent nincompoop.
Joseph Muscat does indeed have balls but they are in Mallia’s hands.
What a silly question the Times has put to its readers. Simon Busuttil should never come into it.
