Is this the time for a new party in Parliament to bring us in line with ALL other European countries?

Malta is the only European country having just two political parties in Parliament, mainly due to biased and flawed electoral laws not providing for a national treshold and a political mentality which must still be emancipated. In the 2008 elections some 20,000 eligible voters chose to stay away from the polling stations. Some 20,000 eligible [...]

St Philips deal : another reason to vote against the Budget

The St Philips deal, both in itself but especially inthe way Parliament has been treated by GonziPN with utter disdain and contemptr constitutes another very valid reason to vote against the coming Budget. Minister Joe Cassar, instead of resigning for his incompetence now drags the country into another twelve million euro problem. Is this deal [...]

Guido DeMarco

Ilni hafna biex nikteb dan li gej u illum sibt ftit hin. Kull avukat, inkluz jien, li jahdem fil-kriminal f’Malta ghandu rispett partikolari lejn Guuido DeMarco u ma jistax ikun mo0d iehor. Avukat li ta hafna lil professjoni kemm fil-Qrati ukoll bhala Ministru. Inkitbu volumi kbar dwar dak li qal u ghamel Guido Demarco. Pero [...]

Survey on the The Times survey : If Labour are heading for a win, do you approve of what Austin Gatt is doing?

   It has been clear for the past months if not years that Labour are heading for a win, but who is to blame? Do you think the Times, for balance’s sake, since they asked a question about JPO and me,  should have asked the following  question or are they the apex of malicious bias? : [...]

Gonzi had planned an October election

I am in no hurry to lose my parliamentary seat, but for me the national interest always came first. For Gonzi clinging to powert at all costs is the single most important priority. The national interest dictated an election last March and I told the Prime Minister so much in public. Gonzi has clung to power at [...]

When you are submissive to the Clique. . . .

Gonzi has brought the PN to a shameful disgrace, with his choice of ‘friends’. Before all this started months ago, with the Arriva abstention, of which I am extremely proud, even considering the latest commnets by the London mayor this week,  I made it clear to Richard Cachia Caruana that I was not going to be [...]

TVM

  Attention Broadcasting Authority and Editorial Board : Ever since the new schedule started on 1st October, rarely has there been a current affairs programme where I wasn’t mentioned. I have even filed a breach of privilege in Parliament. I have asked for two rights of reply. However I have NEVER been invited to be present [...]

Manuel Delia and Austin Gatt : the Delia Paradox

 From the eighties with love  : Where there is Austin ‘pipi’ Gatt there is turbulence ! Gonzi is wraking havoc with the Westminister model! In the House of Commons it should be mentioned that Nationalist MP Franco Debono objected to all of this, and I am proud of it, and I was banned from contesting the next [...]

Submissiveness is NOT high class

Unfortunately in the recent past a  dangerous internal Neo-Colonaial mentality has dangerously seeped within society. A culture of chewing anything that is fed by the national broadcaster or the ultra-conservative Times and Sunday Times, giving rise to a stagnated social landscape, and closed circuited power network, where one should not question authority and those in [...]

Lessons FOR Gonzi from Libya – about democracy

A Prime Minister is not a Sultan , Emperor or King. When will Gonzi start learning from what is happening in Libya? The Maltese Spring – the fight against the Oligarchy http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20121008/world/Libya-assembly-rejects-Cabinet-dismisses-PM.440138 If it was for Gonzi he would call them ‘SKALDA’ !!
