    That’s a fantastic article by Ivan Fenech. It’s not just his comments on the hunters’ petition but his analysis of Muscat’s ‘Moviment’:

    “Shorn of any political ideology, Labour as a party and in government is simply a conglomeration of interest groups like hunters that have come together to promote their myopic self-centred interests…. This wide, fragmented movement Joseph Muscat boasts of is a living, contradictory coalition that thrives on selfishness, narrow-mindedness and that terrible island mentality that’s so incestuous that their numbers are increasing, not dropping”.

      As I said, there’s no Movement without Muscat.

      Where that leaves Labour is anyone’s guess.

      Every old-school Labour voter will say Muscat took the party away from its people.

    PN has been trashed for the past 4 elections and it is obvious that no hunter will give them his vote. So why are the PN so cautious on the issues? If they go all out against hunting, they will not worsened their situation at the polls (I doubt they can do that!) and most probably they would get some extra votes.

    Are the number of licences limited?

    If not, then all adults could get one.

    Mr. Fenech,

    Does anyone have a right to drive a car?

    But he can if he has a licence.

    [Daphne – That is exactly what Ivan Fenech is saying there: that rights don’t come into it; licences do.]
