Imagine if he were a minister of state, and his driver had shot at somebody

And here in Malta, MPs at committee hearings openly go on Facebook (and read this website) while at House Privileges Committee or Public Accounts Committee hearings.

You see Daphne, we are not mature. If we were, in light of this Malliagate scandal the people including Labour supporters would demand also Muscat’s resignation.
Oh wow, and some kohlrabi was writing lovey dovey, too much information posts on his wife’s Facebook wall during parliament not so long ago.
If you allow me: I suggest you use the term “cabinet minister” in the case of Maltese ministers. As far as I know, the term “minister of state” is found nowhere in our constitution or any other law or even in conventional usage and it may mean something different from cabinet minister in other countries e.g. the UK.
[Daphne – There can’t possibly by any confusion, because our ‘junior ministers’ (non-cabinet members) are called parliamentary secretaries. So it follows that our ministers of state are cabinet ministers. There is no other non-cabinet position.]
