Alexander Borg Olivier is not a Nationalist; he appeared on the electoral register for the first time last April

You are what you vote, a fact which escapes Maltese people who think of political support as an ethnicity or a state of being. If you don’t vote, you don’t support any political party. And if you vote Labour, you are a Labour supporter and not a ‘Nationalist who votes Labour’.

Alexander Borg Olivier, who has been using his surname to root out support for Adrian Delia, a former money-launderer for a prostitution racket (just as he used it to get his initial appointment at the UN and another one in 1987), was not on the electoral roll/register until April this year.

Miraculously, he appeared on it just before the general election was announced and before anybody other than Muscat’s inner clique and Henley & Partners knew that there was going to be one.

Given his contempt for Simon Busuttil – which he has been spreading about at dinner parties and now all over Facebook – it is safe to assume that he voted for Joseph Muscat or didn’t vote at all. But given that he forms part of Delia’s tight little club, I think the more likely assumption is that he voted Labour to help defeat Busuttil and “take back” the party for which he never voted with the help of his friend from Birkirkara.

Never voted Nationalist, I hear you ask. Well, of course, think about it. In 1971 and 1976 he was out of the country, a long way away in New York. And after 1976 he hated the lot of them for defenestrating his father, when a mature approach would have told him that his father should have been defenestrated in 1970 when he had all that highly compromising and distracting domestic chaos, and then perhaps Mintoff wouldn’t have won the general election by a few votes and poisoned the island.

So this self-proclaimed ‘Nationalist’, trading on his father’s name and heritage, hasn’t voted Nationalist at all since that one time in the 1960s He did not even vote Nationalist in 2003 so that Malta could join the European Union, let alone vote in the EU membership referendum.

These are the people you are dealing with: frauds who are out to address their personal fixations or personal problems. “My party”, my eye.

If it were “his” party – a claim his father could make because he ran it, but which he can’t – he would at least have voted for it once since the days of Woodstock.

What a disgrace.
