Government by “Berga principle” applies in both cases you cite:

Goedel’s Theorem too. From inside the triangle it is very difficult to prove the starting point.

It is very difficult for people who are not seeing “it” to see things otherwise.

You are correct. The balance on the one hand is overly for form and on the other overly for lack of it.

It is no small wonder then, that a good healthy dose of boody mindedness, sheer determination and negotiating skills / sales technique – when one has the prerequisites – is an excellent thing.

When that bloody mindedness is illogical and instable, it is anything but healthy. It is crazy.

So it points to four main factors, simply put: selection process, drive, value identification and impact.

Some of them were/are in the public service too. John Paul Grech could have been made EU Commissioner instead of Tonio Borg, and he’d have been brilliant.

But here in Malta we seem to think that executive power of any sort should lie with people who’ve gone through the election process. Government by plebiscite.

Then you get Labour, who are light years ahead in thinking skills (of the evil sort, to be sure, but still ahead) who make Cyrus Engerer, who never got elected to anything, the PM’s special envoy with the rank of ambassador.

Can we at least rejoice on one thing? Lawrence Gonzi is gone. Big sigh of relief.

There was no legal obligation. He rushed the resignation with an alacrity that astonished me at the time. As if he was waiting for an excuse to get rid of him.

Thinking, no doubt, that it would appease Pullicino Orlando and prevent the hemorrhage of votes. It didn’t work.

Result: Cachia Caruana disappeared from god’s earth. The government lost one of its best men, and the Nationalist Party lost the only functioning brain. Then it lost the election. Rather a poor show.

It was Gonzi’s biggest mistake because in removing RCC he did a disservice to Malta which will be impossible to reverse. Ever.

Nepal’s greatest was Sherpa Ten-Sing.
Ours is Sherpa Sing-Sing.

Look into using a VPN on all your mobile devices internet connections. VPN will encrypt all info. Quite cheap and definitely worth it.

I was expecting something on these lines :)

The British Prime Minister’s comment was that it is not illegal, but they have to go.

Three were fired; one resigned.

Our PM should phone the British PM and give him some advice on how he should have made them special envoys or sherpas.
