And it’s back to Debono. The Nationalist Party’s assistant secretary-general is in charge of the party’s local committees. I now believe that it’s not that they were not functioning properly; I think that they were not allowed to function properly preparing for the rise for someone like Delia.

In reply to The Sting. It was more than just a sneaky feeling in reality. Debono blocked Rosette Thake's path and put spokes in the way of proper functioning.

In reply to Dumbo.

Isn’t that Muscat’s goal? The spotlight has been off him since Delia entered the scene.

Labour once again in the clear for whatever Muscat is concocting away. Land deals inclusive of quiet period; LNG sales for the kitty; more obscurity around the passport scam takings etc.

A written apology? That is not even a slap on the wrist.

Always ambitious, always money first and always a publicity hog. He and his brother have both used the Nationalist Party as a springboard for their personal ambitions.

I have a sneaky feeling Debono was one of the team of back-stabbers around Simon Busuttil.

Fighting an adversary isn’t half as difficult as keeping safe from your own team. You’re literally boxing with one arm tied behind your back.

I do believe in Karma and I therefore live in hope that all the other backstabbers in this saga will end up in the same way as Debono.

Shame on you, you’ve reduced a great party to this state just for personal greed and ambition.

In our small island there are ways and means of knowing, yes.

They do. The local committees (kumitati sezzjonali) are those who are supposed to check and keep themselves informed about their local members.

Not really. Delia is leader.

In reply to Reflections.

What if you are not a member of the Labour Party nor a Nationalist?

This ‘no questions asked’ business is very worrying. Questions should be asked and thorough background checks should be carried out before one is allowed to join a party.

Screening is not taken seriously in the PN it seems. Both Delia and Portelli
would have failed the test miserably if it were.
