@ Edgar Azzopardi - Lately I decided to discover why you tend to pick on Sharon Ellul Bonici. It did not take much to realize why. My advice: Try not to make it too obvious Mr Azzopardi!

@ Edgar Azzopardi - The past your referring to is when Sharon's slogan was "Vote no for a better deal" (and not to stay out indefinitely of the EU). Do you really believe that in 2003 we were ready for full membership? Today, 5 years after membership, most of the Maltese people are oblivious to what goes on in Brussels. Government is still not up to it in 2009, let alone in 2003. The problem with many people is that they find it hard to admit that Government is a lackey when it comes to EU affairs. Unfortunately Government suffers from a servile attitude vis-a'-vis the EU. We're not gaining much, like other Member States.

We are not easily offended, don't worry about that. And by the way, if its a Rottweiler, its must be of a good pedigree, otherwise it wouldn't be so.

In the coming months we will have the opportunity to establish who is a Chihuahua or a Rottweiller between Sharon and the other PN candidates. Pleasure Yet to come!

Ms. Ellul Bonici - i am sure the PL MEP candidates do not need you to tell them what they should do. Why dont YOU start listening to what people are saying!!

@ Dr. Andy Ellul - Rottweiler... yes! But of a good pedigree and I do not mean to offend your sister however in my eyes she is far from a Rottweiler... actually more like a timid chihuahua who's tail is between its legs as though its being haunted by something... THE PAST!!!!!

Comment to Mr Galea:
Perhaps she might be so. She is certainly a good fighter for lost causes...

Comment to Dr Any Ellul.
I admit that I have an allergy to hypocricy and fakes, of which we seem to have many in Malta. You suggested that I vote for another candidate. But you must not have read my posting. I don't have a vote, and don't intend to claim it either, although I am perfectly entitled to do so. That way I am not faced with a Hobson's choice of having to vote for at best a mediocre set of individuals, or at worst a bunch of ambitious self-seeking arrivistes. As I don't have a vote, I have no candiate to support. That would logically- and literally- make me a disinterested commentator. I have always believed in offering a job/position to a man/woman who doesn't want it. The greater the ambition/desire, the greater my suspicion.

We would like to thank you all for your comments and for showing a keen
interest in Sharon Ellul Bonici's official campaign launch. If there is
someone who should apologize to the Maltese people is not Sharon, who
pre-accession advocated that Malta was not ready for membership, but those
who promised that membership would solve all our problems. Five years
after membership Malta is, in many aspects, lagging behind most (if not
all) of the other European Member State. Those who were concerned about
their children's future in 2003 because of Sharon's 'critical' campaign,
and still are because of her candidature with the PL for the upcoming EP
elections, should vote for David Casa. This should solve all their lurking
problems. On the other hand, those who want critical MEP's as their
representatives in the EU Parliament, which is composed of 780 MEP's, can
opt to vote for Sharon. For more information regarding Sharon's critical
views, we invite you to visit www.sharon4malta.com. We firmly believe that
there is nothing wrong in being critical in a democratic society. On the
contrary, at this day and age the art of criticism is a sine qua non
requisite for a successful politician.

She is one of the most valid candidates for the EP.
You don't want lackeys in the eu to fight for your rights.
You need FIGHTERS like her.

@ Dr Paul Sant-Cassia - It appears that Sharon's candidature is troubling you a lot . You can democratically opt not to vote for Sharon next June, and instead vote for another candidate (perhaps for David Casa if this will put your mind at rest). This will definitely take away all your trouble. I can understand your concern and why you're advising people to use their wisdom and vote for 'people of substance' next June. We don't want another David Casa as our representative, do we?

Therefore I will take your advise in this regard and next June will vote for Sharon. Why settle for a chihuahua when you can have a rottweiler?

Ms Ellul Bonici is getting as tiring, and as predictable, in her MEP campaign as in her previous NO2EU one. As someone who has no vote (nor wishes to- I am aware I can obtain one), and who is equally sceptical of all political parties ( I deeply distrust them all), I do hope the electorate will have the wisdom to elect people of substance and integrity as MEPs instead of the hungry and narcissistic pursuit of position, power, and emolument. Why is it that these Euro MP elections seem to be attracting the most nakedly ambitious, the most hypocritical, and the most lightweight of candidates? Paraphrasing Groucho Marx, I would prefer to give my (admittedly unclaimed) vote to a candidate who would rather not have it!

I wont vote for someone who today says something and tomorrow contradicts it.
I don’t understand how Sharon is trying to fill a post which would have not existed if the Maltese had listened to her back in 2003. This is a case of money talk.
