Saved by a woman
As soon as chief strategist Chris Peregin’s contract with PN expired, PN immediately turned to its old-fashioned and draconian and conservative schemes. During the last election, several PN heavy-weights took a beating and some of them like Jason Azzopardi didn’t even get elected. One of the conservative men who barely got elected after losing most…

No excuses now
When Robert Abela inherited Joseph Muscat’s poisoned chalice in 2020, Robert spread the narrative that he did not have the mandate to take strong decisions. He simply positioned himself as someone who was responsible to manage the pandemic crisis, although the reality is he didn’t manage anything, but this is another story. Now, Robert Abela…

Blame the bourgeoisie
Indeed. A large number of voter abstentions came from the Northern harbour districts. Although the country is in desperate need of normality, which could have been provided by the PN with all its faults, Â still many people from an upper-middle-class background refused to vote for PN. There is a very obvious reason for this. The…

Labour got 8,200 less votes in this election
In the 2017 general election, Labour got a total of 170,976 votes. In this general election, Labour has received in total 162,707 votes. That means more than 8,200 votes less with nearly a 5% difference. Let that sink in. Labour will try and look invincible with a hat-trick of electoral victories, but the reality is…

The great gender corrective mechanism flop
ADPD candidate Mina Tolu has made an interesting observation on the gender corrective mechanism. She argued that the mechanism backfired as less people voted for women knowing that they would be elected anyway. Ironically, this backfired on one of the mechanism’s greatest proponents: Rosianne Cutajar, the corrupt Minister who conspired and slept with Yorgen Fenech.…

The ultimate symbol of this election
Edward ?ammit Lewis, the corrupt Minister of Justice who called his constituents ?a?an (the Maltese folk version of the village idiot), has been elected once again. People who voted for Edward ?ammit Lewis can’t defend themselves by arguing “elitism” if they are called absolute idiots. There are many more idiots than those who voted for…

There can be no national unity with political criminals
Contrary to what Prime Minister Robert Abela is saying, there is no national unity and there can never be national unity under his rule. Almost half of the population has voted against a criminal government and the restoration of rule of law, yet this is exactly the opposite of what Robert Abela stands for. In…

Here’s what we can do
For sure, reasonable voters who wanted to see a normal country are devastated by Labour’s landslide win. There’s no solace in tears, however, I believe and nothing will come out of them. The point now is to understand what is happening and to have a plan. Let’s understand what is happening, first. In 2019 the…

A brief moment of freedom
By 2 pm Labour MP Jean Claude Micallef uploaded a message on Facebook panicking about the low turnout at the polls. Voter turnout by 2 pm was 44.75% which in Malta is considered a historic low. Voting continued until 10 in the evening. Top Labour officials seem to have shared his panic as they kept…

A list of electoral abuses by the Labour Party
This is the list of all of the electoral abuses that I can think of that have actively been perpetuated by the Labour Party. Just because there is no tampering with votes, it doesn’t mean that these elections were held in a fair context. Fairness means that all political parties have equal opportunities to share…

An election mired in abuses
Malta’s institutions and rule of law are collapsing at such a spectacular rate that we are entering a stage where even general elections are mired in abuses and irregularities. The Labour Party is rounding up people with mental disabilities who live at the government-run old people’s home of Saint Vincent De Paul and busing them…

Breaking: Diplomatic corps set to strike and election on 9th June
The diplomatic corps is threatening strike action as the government is moving ahead with the appointment of Giovanni Buttigieg as ambassador to Ireland without following the established practice of putting the nominee up for parliamentary scrutiny. The diplomatic corps is arguing that once Buttigieg’s appointment will be approved, a new precedent will be introduced which…
