One can only appeal to an man’s conscience if that man has shown that he has one.

Has that ship not long sailed?

Even expert crooks have tells and that is where shades come in handy.

Why are we assuming that people back a person in spite of him being a crook rather than because he is a crook? Does anyone think that certain characters back a candidate because he is the best suited for the country and the party rather than because they stand to gain from him the most, if he is elected to power?

Il punto the partenza for our reasoning should not be our own values or morals, but, when trying to understand crookery, our assumptions should be based on the modus operandi of a crook’s mind.

Perhaps profiling should be on the national curriculum – wait, not a good idea for those whose interest it is to manipulate minds, is it?

In reply to just me.

It doesn’t make sense because you are assuming “other politicians are honest and have integrity” but too few do, if any.

You say “many Nationalists are honest people who want..” but I say too few are honest. The majority of the electorate are political fans, nothing more.

The vast majority of the electorate will vote for the only colour they see through their pathetic eyes. The “many” you refer to number in a few thousands at best and that goes for both parties.

It’s because they can’t wear a mask of make-up. It serves the same purpose: psychological concealment of reality, and the need of a barrier.

All that is happening does not make sense. How is it possible that those Nationalist MPs who are aiding and abetting Adrian Delia continue to do so after all the dirt revealed about him?

They are putting their own honesty and integrity in question and their own political career in danger.

Many Nationalists are honest people who want an honest party with an honest leader. They will not vote for these mps in the next election nor will they vote for the Nationalist Party if Adrian Delia is leader.
