@ Mary Curmi

I have always insisted that as Malta is a member of the European Union we should be the same in everything, divorce, abortion, gay rights, salaries and everthing not to be choosy and what we don't like or don't agree we will not get. As a candidate for the Alleanza Liberali and if elected I will join the European Liberals, the third largest political group who has the casting vote for the laws to pass through the European Parliament, I will insist on all the rights and especially that the Maltese will be the same as their best European counterparts, especially the Nordic European countries that is why I always insist that I want Malta like Amsterdam! - Dr. John Zammit - Leader and Candidate for Alleanza Liberali - www.freewebs.com/liberalalliance

Mr. Edwin Cachia. Quote” Making a mistake while taking an examination is one thing and getting confused between two buttons - the green which means yes and the red which means no - is another." unquote.
Since you are incredulous. Can you tell me what the difference is? No if, in this case. (Kieku waqa u kiser siqu) Mistaking a button for another was explained by Dr. J. Attard Motalto.
The point is that this “terrible gross!” mistake was corrected and the correction accepted. Convinced?
Since you are still not convinced that it was a mistake, there is nothing that could be done. So are others who have been whitewashed, sorry brainwashed. There is no way to get you exercise your own mind. Others do the thinking for you. That's the trouble.
Since you are elated with the childish poster that does not show any imagination, I would not spoil your elation. I wish you well and do enjoy it.

@ Mr. Magri - making a mistake while taking an examination is one thing and getting confused between two buttons - the green which means yes and the red which means no - is another.

This vote was on obligatory burden sharing, not on something personal that Dr. Attard Montaldo and Mr. Bedingfield afforded to make how many mistakes they desired.

You know what Mr. Magri, if the result of that vote became equal, the corrections are not taken in consideration, therefore Montaldo's vote would be considered as a NO and Bedingfields as an " I DON'T KNOW "

As regards to the billboard, even if the PN had 100 billboards ready, this incapability from the Labour MEP's merits to be shown by all possible means.

Have any MEP blue red green and others pledged that all workers will be paid the same chunk of money all over Europe but the say it’s impossible not like them Meps will be all getting the same pay something like 84,000 Euros that’s why they want to get elected to the club after Monday 08/06/09 the flock flies away and will come back in 5 yrs maybe that’s why millions all over Europe won’t bother to vote

Mr Edwin Cachia. In case you make a mistake while taking an examination then you have the right to correct it before you hand over the paper and that will be the right version would you take that chance. Would your corrected version be ignored? Simple! Childish too!
And the P.N. has made a poster of this trivial matter. That means that the P.N. had not planned anything that would enhance the chances of their prospective candidates to be elected. They had no idea what posters to exhibit for the public attention. A trivial chance came their way and they gulped it and ridiculed themselves.
No imagination. And they pretend that we vote for a bunch without ideas.
And this trivial matter was and is being shouted about by the P.N. No.1 candidate Dr.S. Busuttil.

And Norman Lowell? Is he allowed to contest the election but at the same time he is still censored? It's like starting an 11 a-side football match against A.C. Milan of the Sacci and Capello era with just 8 players! How could this country possibly be even more wrong than this! This country never stops amazing me!

X'se jkunu qed jagħmlu l-kandidati biex jiżguraw li f'pajjiżna l-ilsien Malti jingħata prominenza? Diġà qed jingħata prominenza mill-UE, imma meta niġu hawn Malta? Se nibqgħu kif aħna, anke mil-lat governattiv?

It seems that Joseph muscat lost control over those surrounding him. On the wrong button he came out with 4 different versions, first said that all PL MEPs voted in favour than he said that their was a malfunction, John Attard Montaldo said he pessed the wrong button, then he admitted that they had made a mistake when voting. To add injury to insult when asked about why he had 4 different version on this saga, he replied that all version were consistent !!

If your handling a better and more responsible position then that of an MEP Sharon, why are you a candidate?? Because you haven't reach your objectives or you're willing for a €86 000 yearly pay.......

Marlene thanks for also confirming with John Attard Montalto that PL had to change their opinion in regards to EU because of the referendum's outcome!!!!
