Next election they’ll come up with the same pathetic we-didn’t-have-our-ears-to-the ground excuses that they’ve been using since ’96. The pity is that they’ll still be there five years on.

And please note that many of these people, the type who’d turn voters away “ghax ahna subghajna dritti”, got themselves very cushy government positions just before the 2013 general election even though they were already there on loan from other government departments.

I am willing to help when I feel they are really listening to the people they promised to start listening to and not doing completely the opposite.

They didn’t, as far as I know.

I did not offer an opinion as to what I would like to see. I merely stated facts about funding the TV station. I actually agree with your point of view.

Exactly. You spelt it out. You couldn’t be clearer. Count me in as one of those who holds his nose and votes PN. I can already foresee post-election ezami tal-kuxjenza by party bigwigs to see who to blame for another electoral defeat. And I can see your name figuring on top instead of the Nationalists looking around them.

And believe you me – if the Labour Party wins again with all this muck, which muck we didn’t have in such proportions not even during Mintoff or KMB, I suggest that the Nationalist Party winds down its operations and sells its headquarters and donates proceeds to the Maltese population as a gesture of good will. Period.
