How one stands is personal.

The Leader of the Opposition is not responsible for your personal decisions.

He is responsible for being vigilant as to the shortcomings of Government and for steering the Government onto the right track.

For defending the rights of each citizen and the collective potential.

The Leader of the Opposition represents a collective voice.

The citizen is (still) free to form his own political party if he is of the opinion that none of the existing parties represent him best.

The onus to perform ethically and transparently is principally with Government.

Why does the Opposition Leader need to suffer the brunt of responsibility for the Government’s bad planning, decisions and actions?

________

Where the Opposition’s action in representing the citizens’ rights has been insufficient, it is reasonable to point this out repeatedly.

I will continue, for example, to state that the EU Commissioner for Competition should be asked for a statement as to whether the Passport sale scam, which has seen the Passport switch to an additional designed role of convenience as a Financial Services product, is operating under fair market conditions.

This, recognising that the passport scam is operating under the distorted EU overview that accepted this aberration, in direct contrast to the vote of the EU parliament, and in the absence of any clarity offered to the electorate, to the Opposition and to the Financial Services market.

________

It is up to the citizen to push forward its views, where these are not immediately taken up by the Opposition.

Lack of restraint imposed and of controls mechanisms recognised in one area will create an excuse for further elasticity in other areas.

It is important that the Opposition be extra vigilant as to each degree of excess under this Government, and set in motion the necessary corrective or restraining measure/ s immediately.
________

It is also up to each citizen to acquire an awareness of what is happening and an indisputed stand as to how, as an individual, he is able to personally contribute to guaranteeing that his rights, not his immediate needs, are best served and protected.

Oh really? And who shall the people then? The Opposition leader? I don’t think so.

What the heck?! Tiftakarha, u kulhadd icapcaplu fuq Youtube ghax qabez ghall-lingwa Maltija?

Ghax inkella jirbhu ta’ kontrina. L-istess in-naha tal-Kottonera. Kulhadd mdejjaq bit-tmexxija u jiftahru kemm kienu ahjar fil-Ministeru tal-Gvern taht Gonzi. Fl-ahhar mil-ahhar xorta lil PL jivvutaw.

Hi żegget
Ahna żeggigna

huma żeggu

With hindsight, it’s been “in” since 1997, amongst a certain crowd.

When the Government itself is breaking the law on a daily basis and the Police aiding and abetting with no clarity offered, the law of the land is in suspension.

Do you mean just like a sewer rat?
