Comments (1) Share latest comment from Vani, 07/05/2024 06:07: When, and if, the PN go back to parliament, they should stop addressing anglu as sur president, and call him Mr. Speaker. Better would be to ignore him completely. Furthermore the practice that one should address him when speaking should be stopped, and the PN speakers should address the camera, or their leader. Anglu has to learn that respect may not be imposed but earned! New Comment Reply Click to rate 0 0

Comments (9) Share latest comment from John Cordina aka Benny, 07/05/2024 10:20: I will beleive the crowd when I see it. These are not the 80s any more. The very same extreme self interest encouraged and nutured by Muscat and his cohort that gave him an impression of wielding power will be playing against him. Because thats the nature of self interest as opposed to nurturing and fostering ideological propositions. Sure there will be a sizeable older generation who out of confusion and nostalgia for this very lack of ideology frame Muscat in some political pedagogical form. As a demagogue he does have some pull there but I do not see it in anyone under 50. At least not on any Mintoffian or even Fenech Adami level. New Comment Reply Click to rate 0 0
