If a party leader doesn’t appeal to the people who usually vote for the party, you’ve effectively slit your wrists.

Your choice.

Well, I happen to think that people should maximise their comparative advantage, and if you’re a really good media communicator you should make that your focus and not try electoral politics. No secret here – I told David that in person. Lots of people in Malta move from media into electoral politics, but they’re the ones who weren’t particularly good at media.

In reply to Daphne Caruana Galizia. We've had enough demagogues and prima donnas in politics.

Exactly. And that’s a good thing, but you speak as though it is bad.

It’s not that he’s regarded as an authority, but his voice on the radio, like mine here, is the voice of his audience. People like David Thake and me – by virtue of the jobs we do (or in his case, did) – express the opinion of others who don’t have a platform on which to do it.

In reply to Reuben Scicluna. I do not share your view at all. I believe that David, like many, was giving Delia the benefit of the doubt.

This morning in Valletta I heard a snide but quite true remark by a typical Labour supporter who was quoting something he saw on Facebook: “Spiccaw Nazzionalisti bla Partit”.

That’s for the ones who like me are paid up PN activists but will definitely have no truck with Delia & Co. We are running miles away from the PN at the moment.

The PN was being negative? What’s positive about Sai Mizzi, Gaffarena, Premier, Panama, etc.? You might as well jump in the Labour skip.
