If you think it’s just the idiots, how very much mistaken you all are. Those who plunder in greed and corruption just love a goverment of this sort.

They had even thrown a closing down party on the day they were supposed to open the new power station two years ago.

In reply to Mac Taylor. No, it's not. That narrow band of non idiots have had no alternative but to vote PN every time since independence.

Stick to being yourself.

A good number of us have had our complete fill of politically correct.

I would far prefer a party made up of a decent skeleton representation of politically incorrect new faces – and there are some pretty cool ones, if only there was someone with an eye and ear for them – than the politically (in)correct nonsense we appear to be obliged to.

This “least messy of a messy situation” crap, or “it’s too late to change now” equally depressive strategy is no answer

He’s not an idiot; he’s dangerously cuckoo.

Well said. So much for the electoral campaign adverts of ‘fabbrika tal kancer’. Which is actually even worse on their part, since they ‘know’ thst it’s a cancer cause.

Yet another accountability, meritocracy and transparency lie.

Some of us aren’t. And it’s that narrow band of non-idiots who sway elections.

That’s one of the many shortcomings of Maltese. It doesn’t have a literal translation for “fuck [something]”. The closest is “f’ghoxx”.

We all remember that embarrassing (for linguistic reasons) video of a fight in Paceville where the stout Maltese patriot says to the nasty foreigner, “Fuck your mother”.

But really, if you translate “f’ghoxx” properly, it’s not so shockingly vulgar. I mean today’s righteous all brandish slogans like #FuckTrump, #FuckPutin, #FuckNazis, and, lately, #FuckBrexit, so what’s so crude about #FghoxxIlHaxxejja?

Oh and yes, we’re doomed.
