@Joe falzon
I totally concur with your comments. Tal-ajkla are likely to surprise the electorate and the two major parties. I know a lot of people from Zabbar, Fgura and the whereabouts who have decided to cast their vote for tal-ajkla. This party is a new one attracting hundreds of hunters and Eurosceptics. Hope that we see Nazzareno Bonnici in the EU parliament to defend the workers rights.

As you rightly said, together we can elect this party. Have strong belief and everything is possible. TAL-AJKLA IS becoming a strong movement gathering all people from all walks of life. Together everything is possible. A vote for tal-ajkla is useful vote of protest towards the PL and the PN.

Jien nahseb insew kemm werzqu dawn in-nies qabel ir-referendum. U biex niftehmu, ghadhom iwerzqu.

The giving of the EU flags was clearly a reaction to Alan Deidun's outburst during Xarabank and at Fgura, pity the PL bil-'bidu gdid' taghhom still needs the PN to open their eyes.

This country needs a breath of fresh air in political terms. People are fed up listening to the same rhythms of recyled ideas without leading to nowhere other than to false destinations concealed under hypocrasy.

Some politicians of great statute argue that our country would have been in a disastrous state of affairs if we were not an integral part of the EU. By implication this merely means that that we do not enjoy the benefit enjoyed by other countries of having political catalysts to indulge in innovative and creative ideas.

It is also clear that the rights of the low-income earners and the middle-class who do not enjoy the benefit of having any one of the parties to defend them are conspicuously being disregarded. I do not actually know if this is the result of certain progressive and moderate movements as they are nicknaming themselves.

In view of the above, It is evident that this time round people are to naturally opt for the new party 'Tal-ajkla' for the forthcoming EP elections. There is no doubt that Eurosceptics, hunters, trappers and others want to decidedly mark this EP election no matter what others say. Believe and together WE CAN.

We would have been in a better position if PN made hay whilst the sun was shinning , instead of inflating the already precarious budget deficit. Now the deficit is out of control and we will have a rough ride trying to get back to some sort of stability. This is the story of Pn of the last 20 years, it is responsible for 3 billion euros of debt which is tighting, like a nooze around our neck! Our children's future is in danger, and we can't afford to buy life jackets!

Welcome to the real world Dr Muscat !!!!!!!!!!!

You finally remembered its a EUROPEAN election . . . I guess you have been trying to avoid the issue to avoid exposing your failure as MEP in the 4 years you spent in Brussels !!!

It is important to mention current local issues but why is Dr Joseph Muscat not mentioning the recession!!!?? Are we not part of this world or Europe?? You may ask the workers who work at Trelleborg, and other workers in about 4 other companies who thanks to this competent Governement are still working in their respective companies. With regards to maternity leave, how could you expect the PN MEPs to vote in favor of the Maternity Leave extenstion to 16 weeks but instead of being paid full time, they will only obtain a proportion of their monthly pay?? We already are implementing a maternity leave of 14 weeks full pay which add up to 20 weeks at an 80% of their monthly pay. Also note that the average maternity leave pay for the 16 weeks proposed from the PES is only 50%. Come on, bring forward sustainable issues to discuss PL !!!

@MZAMMIT: You're right.. the truth hurts. And the truth is that Joseph Muscat did his utmost to keep us out of the EU.. and now is trying to claim some sort of credit!

oh no Dr Muscat.. it's not thanks to the MLP MEPs or to the MLP.. the EU and all it's benefits are thanks to the relentless work of the PN. You were against membership... remember?

@ M. Farrugia Thats right. You said it. Spot on. Joseph Muscat is speaking on the issues which matter to the middle class, the hard working families and the self employed. There are no strictly european issues and there are no strictly local and national issues. There are issues that must be tackled by the Government here in Malta and by the europarliamentarians in Brussels and Strasbourg.

Apparently M.Farrugia watches and listens only to the PN media. No wonder the polls are predicting a landslide for the PL MEPs, Hopefully starting with continuity and voting first and foremost for the Head of delegation Louis Grech followed by the rest of the formidable team.
