This is the third time in its history that Labour is voting itself out of power. It was Mintoff who was longest in power as Labour Prime Minister. Alfred Sant was the Prime Minister who spent the shortest time as Labour Prime Minister.

Now the youngest Labour Prime Minister is eligible to gap the bridge between those two extremes. Even though the never endeavoured to bridge the rift between Mintoff and Sant.

On the contrary he simply jumped over the fence to the other side of it and called Mintoff a traitor. What would Mintoff be calling Joseph now? It is time he got paid with his own coin.

In reply to Be-witched. One of the benefits of democracy is that it gives the opportunity to all and sundry to improve their intelligence and better their position, including the possibility of choosing the proper people as their legislators. It is obviously up to each individual to grasp such opportunity and raise his standing. Should the individual fail to do that, it is all society which ultimately stands to lose.

Prime Minister Joseph Muscat should have already taken the decision to sack Manuel Mallia.
That interview with the Prime Minister last week on PBS’s Dissett may have well ended after the first five minutes. In his opening volley, journalist Reno Bugeja asked Joseph Muscat what he had to say about the controversies over his Home Affairs Minister, his Equal Opportunities Minister, his Economy Minister and his MP Luciano Busuttil. Muscat mumbled something to the effect that the issues are different and then said: “What people care about is what affects their pockets.”. . . . . . . . . . . . . ,

Muscat measures others by his own yardstick, that is, for him it is only money that counts.

That’s democracy for you. People are not given a vote according to their intelligence.

In reply to Watcher of lies and traitors. Watcher of lies and traitors, the problem is the Maltese voter because if the majority of voters don't vote for them they will be kicked out automatically according to our constitution.

In reply to Peritocracy. Nonsense … if anything, a more accurate way of saying it would be "Screw the idiots who believed the propaganda and voted the PL to power "

Let us see who or what they will blame this time…

”Malta had the worse retail trade figures in the EU in October when compared to October 2013, according to data issued by Eurostat this morning.” TOM

It might be a good idea if the Maltese government manages to sack whoever does the Eurostat statistics. (sarcasm intended)

In reply to H.P. Baxxter. Don't deceive yourself Baxxter. You're as incompetent as they come. Your hubris will not conceal your insular mentality.

I cannot sleep whilst my country is raped.

I’ll have no peace until they are jailed for life with no amnesty.

What they did to me is nothing compared to what they are now doing to all Maltese.

We need to fight for our essential and basic rights, together, as a people united.

This is larger than colour or language.

We each have our strengths.

Let that be the focus.
