What the PN needs is a Marlene Farrugia. The way she beat the PN strongmen in the 10th district is proof enough. No wonder she said the candidates there were short of what men needs down there.

IN MY OPINION BOTH OF THEM WERE IN DUTY BOUND TO DIVULGE TRUTH. BUT UNFORTUNATELY BOTH FAILED IN THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES TOWARDS THE SEARCH FOR JUSTICE. CONSEQUENTLY THEY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR WILLFUL OMISSION TOWARDS THE SEARCH FOR JUSTICE.

You’re wrong. Maltese institutions are completely different to those of other EU member states. Everyone is appointed by the Prime Minister, or on the advise of the Prime Minister, and even the Commissioner of Police survives at the Prime Minister’s mercy. Also there are no independent prosecuting authorities. Where else in Europe does that happen?

That’s the Opposition’s job – or a fully staffed newsroom’s.

Chris Said has absolutely no charisma. You need someone with smarts, strategy and charisma. In the current circumstances, you also need someone who is in it for the long haul and does not mind losing elections.

Well it’s not like there is a political party that represents small business owners and both parties ran on who is damaging the country more.

If he had to weight any pros and cons, he was not going to find one better than the other, so, I wouldn’t blame him. I would blame the parties and candidates who didn’t reach out or run on a platform that engages him (I’m presuming it’s a him).

And anyway, it’s not like PN cares about the allegations, the party is too busy licking its own wounds rather than call for justice at the moment – where’s the fire, where’s the outrage? Does the call for justice end when the election is lost?

Where are the street demonstrations? Where are the protests? It’s not a resounding undemocratic defeat – there are only 15,000 more of them and most likely most of the moderates – so you can easily voice your outrage by taking to the streets.

I think that would be credibility, because the effort is now not solely self-serving.

Apocalyptic much on a fairly fought election?
