In reply to Mila. Do not delude yourself that such sentiment did not exist previously. I'm sure that there were PN elections which were won because of such sentiment. Of such stock is the Maltese nation made.

In reply to Charles Mizzi. Time will tell. The implications of a victory by the hunters will be very serious.

It might be a bad idea for all the reason it was intended to happen, but it certainly gives a clearer picture of the real state of affairs in this country.

Regrettably, the ”what’s in it for me” sentiment has never shone through, as it is doing now.

In reply to canon. That conclusion is just as silly as those who think that if the No votes wins then this will lead to other hobbies being put to a referendum vote.

The worst factor in my opinion is that we’ve ended up with MPs and all other politicians either sticking with their leader’s opinion or not saying anything at all.

If the balance between Yes and No amongst the politicians was more realistic then maybe people would feel more at liberty to come to their own conclusions based on the facts.

Instead, many are starting at the conclusion of their political leader and then skewing their reasoning to arrive at the same conclusion.

Toni Abela is the perfect example of this. Against hunting, but voting Yes based on the most absurd premise.

The hunters won’t stop there if they win the referendum. Eventually they’ll force a referendum to leave the European Union.

Jiena ha nivvota iva ghal-kacca fir-rebbiegha wkoll! Ha nibghat lit-tfal tieghi l-skola ta’ San Anton u ha nixtri Alfa bhal tal-leader taghna! Li jaghmel il-leader BRAVUUU taghna naghmel jien. Viva GOWZEFF!

Mohh ta’ pizella.

Look at these two nice gentlemen in the video and tell me honestly if you really think that if Joseph Muscat said he was voting NO for spring hunting that they would do the same.

This is a pleasant diversion from more relevant issues like the relatively high price of petrol and electricity, the current disastrous state of Mater Dei Hospital, and various current issues related to national security. These, and current government’s blatant lack of accountability, are the sort of issues most people I encounter on a daily basis are concerned about.
