I agree with Dr Gonzi what he is saying about AD. Should it happen a coalition goverment, we become in the same situation like Italy. Elections every year or less. It is bad enough that we have so many elections for local councils etc. and every time there is an election coming, it seems the island stops.

There we have it!…hearing what Dr. Gonzi has to say about a Coalition with AD….makes one wonder….
He’s (till now) ruling out becoming a PM and having AD in ‘his’ cabinet, simply because according to him, AD has dared questioned (insulted?) the way Dr. Gonzi arrived at some decisions or lack thereof, and also criticized some issues and policies which his party in govt.
Dear Dr. Gonzi, what’s the big deal, a lot of people have done that independently already. Is it something to get so personal and fussy about? Did AD do anything near the backstabbing at St.Andrew’s at the eve of the last election?
Considering that AD has stressed on Transparency, Accountability and championed the proper interpretation and implementation of EU directives – even when the PN govt tried to bend or ignore them.
If Dr. Gonzi is so sincerely concerned about the alleged danger of a Labour (sole) govt, his comments about working with AD because of unspecified criticism, are as hollow as the electoral law which he had been directly involved in, and which the PN and MLP devised in line with their own party’s strategies.
Dr. Gonzi must decide whether he is going to factually demonstrate that he really cares about our children (and not his party’s short-term’s goals), otherwise all the explanations and promises he may come up with, will lose all credibility!
