I’m quite certain Scotland and the UK don’t have the corruption issues Malta has either; or its mentality. One simply cannot start to compare the UK with our island. Had you compared any other Mediterranean country with Malta it would have been more plausible.

And the what of the administrative and executive councils?

The party lacks a clear structure and separation of competences. There’s far too much overlap, which is bound to lead to paralysis or infighting and/or shirking of responsibility.

That man’s life is all about roadmaps and trajectories. He’s going to let another leader face the possibility of a reduced majority or even a defeat, while he moves on to the important business of his real goal now: replacing Donald Tusk in 2020.

And no, of course you can’t have two women bookending one man. It looks bad, like Gaddafi with his guards.

I would never dream of jeering two defenceless people walking through a crowd.
