This statement makes my blood boil because it is so true. I remember that time vividly. Recently I tried to reach out to the party leadership, explaining how crucial it is that Thake is brought back and they told me the same “we have to be fair with all candidates” bull. This sabotage is beyond ridiculous.

I find Baxxter’s post realistic, but also pessimistic. I prefer to light a candle instead of cursing the darkness. I encourage others to do what I am doing, while accepting the reality of the situation we’re in.

Happy new year to Daphne, Baxxter, and all people of goodwill.

I’m sorry, but I don’t agree with you at all. Everybody knows at an intellectual level that homosexuals can’t be converted into heterosexuals, just as everybody knows that eating black rice with miso won’t cure their cancer. But when people are desperate, they are desperate. And we haven’t banned Janet the Fortune-Teller and her crystal ball.

Hmmm. I had a think about your statement: “Look at all those people trying miracle cures for cancer, including weird diets. Are we going to stop them?”

Surely ensuring that doctors, pharmacists and medicines are appropriately certified is one way. And surely quack doctors can be prosecuted for offering quack medicine. Whereas professionals can be struck off the register.

The problem with how to deal with gay conversion therapy is that it is therapy of a ‘pyschological’ nature, and therefore an area of science which still contains many grey areas which can be perfect loopholes for less ‘honest’ psychologists. The test I think is what if a doctor suggested castration as a cure, would that be acceptable or indeed legal.

The other contention I have wit your point of view is the issue of vulnerability. ‘Coming out’ is stil a huge deal in many cultures. And you don’t stop being vulnerable just because you turn 18. Should society not afford protection in this case?

Voting for the Nationalist Party is a must in the next election, but I still fail to see where their short and long-term strategy is aimed at.

There is no vision, no foresight and their game plan is non existent. They refuse to see the obvious and to engage psychologists to battle the bunch of crooks that are using psychologists in their political warfare.

They also fail to engage those who clearly have foresight but have engaged many incompetents with lack of vision and analytical skills.

Worse still I’m convinced that the next election will be lost, and they will call for Dr. Busuttil’s resignation, it is their only hope in ensuring a further electoral loss for 2023, Metsola as a replacement would be a grave mistake. She has an important part to play but that isn’t it, and it would be wrong if Dr. Busuttil is removed, this would play straight to their game plan.

Labour acolytes keep quoting a 40,000 win, I truly believe they are working towards ensuring that the number of votes will be higher than that. The electoral result will be manipulated utilizing the IIP passport holders votes. The gravest error was acceptance by the Nationalist party of this scheme, furthermore without removal of voting rights.

Whilst I believe policies are important, the Nationalist Party in past legislatures failed to address the main issue enforcement and justice. They failed to address issues within existing state agencies, authorities and the civil service, of which they were at full knowledge simply because certain Labour acolytes were untouchables. Those same untouchables are today those running this corrupt production.

Were does that leave us all? Honestly, I like you don’t know and am unsure where or how it is going to end. Nor do I have hope to seeing change in any of the institutions.
