In reply to Conservative. I know. It is you who mentioned Sicily. I just pointed out that in Italy (where Sicily happens to be situated) Sicily is not a province.

In reply to H.P. Baxxter. I know, I know. What can we do - it's a pathetic situation all round.

I live in a European region with 6 million people. It is broken into three provinces with around 1 to 3 million people each.
I didn’t say that Sicily was a province – I said that most provinces in Europe are usually roughly the size of Sicily. Europe isn’t just Italy, you know.

In reply to Conservative. The average constituency in Europe is around 40,000 voters. The fifth district is what? Work it out.

In reply to lgatt. Half the size of most European provinces? Malta? It is the size of most rural municipal village boundaries in Europe. A province is usually roughly the size of Sicily, or larger, often 70 times the size of Malta, or more.

Baxxter, yesterday I read Daphne’s post and Debono’s ridiculous comments while watching a Discovery Channel documentary about NASA and CERN experimentation and training of astronauts and physicists. My thoughts were exactly the same as yours.

While a man of 30 is studying rocket science (literally), a man of 42 is gloating about his form 2 results and trying to elbow his way to getting elected on the fifth district of an island half the size of most European provinces. Miskin.

I like his photo and what he said. That’s probably the closest Franco can get to mating, unless he manages to woo one of the Super One girls who are always open for politicians.

Your taste in ladies must have deteriorated over the years, Chic.

In reply to Daphne Caruana Galizia. I bet the brother is the elder.
