It is unbelievable how ironic life can be in politics! He who has shot down a genuine proposal by the Labour Party aimed at helping children to be introduced to formal schooling by passing through a reception class which he dubbed to be a repeater class, has failed to pass his electoral exam!
Louis Galea has been left out in the cold by not being returned to Parliament, no matter how much he chose to deceive parents by playing with their emotions, and no matter how many strings he cut in ceremonies when opening schools and gyms.
As Minister of Education he should have hailed the proposal. But no, he preferred political mileage by hitting under Labour's belt and preferring to misinform parents! The price he chose to pay was that of failing dismally in being elected in both electoral districts he contested and not even in being co-opted as a runner-up!
He failed not once, or twice, but thrice! Worse than a repeater in a Labour reception class.
He has fallen victim perhaps of his own deceit... relegating himself to a failure waiting not in a repeaters' class but in limbo! So much for the educational reforms he has been boasting of with so much pomp!
