No, they’re just both not particularly bright. Only people who are not very clever smile all the time, whether those smiles are fake or genuine.

They must be going through buckets of popcorn down at the Mile End.

In reply to CynthiaG.

That’s not the point, is it. The point here is that Said would have been doing Delia a favour by standing for election, knowingly being used as a front to make Delia look good while also knowing that he wasn’t wanted for any other reason.

So no, he shouldn’t have put himself out by running against anyone else when he didn’t actually want the position.

The North Korean leaders never ran in a race in which they were facing other candidates.

So David Agius has “helped” Chris Said disassociate himself from the new establishment. Meanwhile, Dr Said has said that he will continue to work in the interest of the party he has been serving for so long.

The question is, is the party still there? Instinct tells me that parliament will be peppered with some independents on the side of the Opposition in the near future.

You would be surprised. Most people I know are over 40 and highly opposed to Edwin Vassallo.

The Nationalist Party, yet again, fucks itself up the arse, alienating voters even further. Never, in its entire history, has it looked so fragmented and undermined. It doesn’t feel like there’s an Opposition anymore. It’s that bad.
