Time is ripe for structured, rightist party - Norman Lowell

@Joss Galea Dan minn meta politiku li jaqbez ghal pajjizu jibda jissejjah razzist? Jekk nharsu lura lejn l-istorja ta’ pajjizna insibu diversi pajjizi li qabzu ghal pajjizna fosthom Nerik Mizzi, Gorg Borg Oliver etc etc Allura dawn wkoll razzisti? Kuntent li nissejjah razzist pero ma rridx li Malta tispicca tapit! Malta ghandha bzonn partit politiku qawwii bhal BNP fl-Ingilterra. Inkella ser nipisccaw cittadini ta ‘ sekonda klassi f’pajjizna stess. Tibqax rieqed. Ghid LE ghal invazjoni ta’ pajjizna!

@ Marton Saliba Time will tell if there is room for a third party or not. I think that Norman Lowell will be proven right. I hope that it won’t be too late for our country

@edward seychell Jien inqis lili nnifsi bhala Kristjan u Nazzjonalist. Ejja ma ndeffsux ir-religjon mal-potlitika. Kristu qallilna biex inkunu safja bhan nghag izda ghorrief daqs sriep. Billi tkun nisrani ma jfissirx lit kun balalu u thalli lil haddiehor jiddiehak bik u jisfruttak Jien minix kontra li nghinu lil dawn in-nies.Jien kontra li dawn in-nies jiehdu vantagg minna. Kieku jigu Malta u joqghodu ghar-regoli taghna pacenzja, izda hafna minnhom jippretendu li jiddettaw l-kultura u religjon taghhom fuq haddiehor. Hekk le hej! Mur ghamel hekkpajjizhom

must be a joke.i feel like i have gone back 50 years when he speaks to a time when people didnt understand,told what to think,had a stupid idea that being white made you above others,even though maltese are of north african and arsb descent....illigal immigration is a problem to be sorted while this is hatred towards other humans.nearly 100% of serial killers,rapists,child abusers,all kids that shoot up schools,wars,weapons all white people along with super powers repressing us.the europeans stole countries and wealth from round the world.white people..

This is ur true meaning of democracy mr seychell? If those who voted Lowell needs to grow up, what should do those who voted Cassolla?

And no mr seychell, not everyone goes to church, so we don’t care what the church preaches. we just follow nature’s will!

@R Gatt. Just check out the front pake of lowell's website, Imperium Europa, and, unless you would have had to move off in disgust before finishing reading it, you'll get an excellent description of the man's views and beliefs. If you'd navigate further in the site you'd find references and links to a certain David Duke, who was the Grand Vizier of the Ku Klux Klan and is a noted racist, fascist specimen and a rather amusing online forum called Stormfront.

So i've listened to the guy's speeches. Lovely, that was a great comic adventure. I'm still looking for the substance that makes him a politican and party leader at that. Many a time I have heard ... illegal immigrants bad bad bad ... great, so what's the solution exactly and how will it be implemented? Now as all know politics is a broad play based on economics, finances, social policies, education etc etc ... what exactly are Mr. Lowell's views/ideas on all?

Marton Saliba

Jun 9th 2009, 21:15

Dream on Lowell! Dream on, because every person has a right to do so.

A third Party, what AD failed to do in these year, not even lowell with his "Ideas" will.

Unless, of course, his technique of gaining votes succeeds, cannon fodder, fruit of multiculturalistic denial.

Joe Fenech

Jun 9th 2009, 16:51

Yes we definitely need it. Norman you need to be the leader as you're the strongest voice. The others: guys you will all benefit more from a strong leader. End all the socialist stuff and get the new right in to save this country from the shallowness.

J Theuma

Jun 9th 2009, 14:05

Well done Norman Lowell.

It is obvious that what Mr Lowell said in the past regarding illegal immigrants is true. besides we need a 3rd strong party in our country.

J.Spiteri

Jun 9th 2009, 13:56

@Vanessa Mifsud. Mr. Lowell has not played with peoples' fears; rather, he knew the peoples main concern. He foresaw the dangers of this phenomenon, and has been trying FOR YEARS to bring the public and the authorities to their senses, only to be branded as a racist. What about the two main political parties, the PN and MLP? Illegal immigration was also on their agenda; so were they ALSO playing with peoples' fears? If so, they both showed us that this man was right after all. He deserved every single vote he received! PROSIT.

Sandro Pace

Jun 9th 2009, 13:13

Norman Lowell probably have the highest votes-to-euros and votes-to-airtime ratio.

His success is a welcome reaction to the invasion, and demographic imposition against the general will of the population. The more this situation is allowed to be, the more such votes will increase.

People want and need natural law and order, and nothing else.

Andrea Demarco

Jun 9th 2009, 12:50

@ George Mifsud

Your argument is somehow stronger now, even if I am in total objection to it. I don't think we can ever agree :)

However "...but this does not mean it is good for any country to go to extremes in politics..." says who???

As far as I can tell, all of Italy is very happy with the stand Italy has taken when it comes to illegal immigration. I would be happy too, and a proud voter! 'Xenophobia and scare campaign' has got nothing to do with this issue. The polls have shown, many times, that the entire nation has had it with this problem!

Add to this, let's be frank, there are many other problems to face, but priority should be given to the will of the nation! Speaking of free speech, why is it that we argue so much in favour of freedom of speech, yet we also want to have the power to shut ONE person?

Isn't this a bit contradictory, if not hypocritical?

Charles Sammut

Jun 9th 2009, 12:21

@ George Mifsud

You don't know your left from your right. The Nazi party had a leftist ideology. It was called National Socialist, remember?

Also which extremists do you see causing trouble in Europe? Invariably it is the Black Block extreme left communists who cause most trouble. Whose posters were torn up and removed prior to the EP election here? That is why we had to resort to balloons so they will be out of reach.

People like you support democracy on condition that those who think differently to you should shut up. Dream on.

George Mifsud

Jun 9th 2009, 11:31

@Andrea De Marco
Understand that Lega Nord increased the number of seats, but this does not mean it is good for any country to go to extremes in politics. Yes these far right wing parties base their principles on xenophobia and scare campaign and nothing more concrete to the benefit of any country. The extreme on the left is dying as shown by the resurgant Communist Parties as Rifodanzione Communista. When I mentioned the past was another extreme in politics that freedom was not allowed and I experiened this first hand since I go back a few years. That 's what will happen with a right wing political party - just dictatorship with restriced freedom of speech.

Andrea Demarco

Jun 9th 2009, 09:24

@ George Mifsud

Every country needs the whole spectrum of politics. If you had just followed the news for what happened in other EU countries in these MEP elections, you would see that many people understand that.

As Lowell rightly (pun intended) puts it, his ideology is geared for a NEW Right - far from what we had 70 years ago. It's a progressive right, not a conservative one. Please stop quoting half the sentences of what people say! It's only fair!

With regards to Mintoff and KMB...there was nothing right (pun intended) about that.

Thanks.

Andrea Demarco

Jun 9th 2009, 08:45

@ Vanessa Mifsud

Mr. Lowell did not play with my fears. I had the same opinions on many issues since before Mr. Lowell became a public fear. So speak for yourself in this regards.

Second of all, he was allowed to contest for the same reason you are allowed to comment here. Maybe we should reward people like you with full Inquisitionary rights and let them choose who can speak and who can't.

George Mifsud

Jun 9th 2009, 04:50

No country in the world need far right party. do you want to go back to seventy years ago under Adolf and Mussolini? Even in Italy the Fascists have changed name and strategy under Gianfronco Fini. Gone down the Berlin wall towards the left and politics has to be done around the centre. Gone are the days of extremists whether it is from the right or the left
Otherwise get the Maltese to start wearing skinheads and beat the hell out of the opposition !!! Which means go back to the dark ages of Mintoff and KMB era

Ivan Attard

Jun 8th 2009, 23:56

@Vanessa Mifsud
Just who are you to declare Lowell played with people's fears? In a democratic election, you may be reminded, the voter has the only power to bring his problems to the attention of the authorities - and also to declare a protest at the way things are not being addressed. That is exactly what I and over 3600 voters did when voting for Lowell. Now if you are not comfortable with that or if you are still positioned with your head buried in the dirt, just get this straight: PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED AND WORRIED ABOUT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.
You may just be foolish and naive enough to have that bypassing your brain and even if you do not like it - this 'fear' is set in many voters' priorities from now on - as it is is many other European voters' minds too.

Joe Fenech

Vanessa Mifsud :

What do you mean? - that one has to let people live in fear and do nothing about it?

Josef Micallef

Jun 8th 2009, 22:54

@R. Callus - what's the use of having the minimum wage? if then peple are employed illegally at below minimum wage? or if the wage is too low for the high cost of living of Malta? There is a need of a structural change in the kind of employment Malta provides - there is a need to shift to most jobs being in services sector - a small Island like Malta, cannot base on manufacturing - you have the costs of importing raw materials and then exporting the finished product, and the freight charges and transports costs are too high. Then there is the problem of lower wages in the eastern countries - Malta has to become a financial services centre! But we have got a long way to go! Very long - hope it's not too long for our politicians!

Charles Sammut

Jun 8th 2009, 22:23

@ R Callus

You are misinterpreting what Lowell stands for. He believes that everybody is free to live the lifestyle s/he chooses. But then s/he must not offload the consequences on society. S/he must take responsibility for his/her actions.

People like you, on the other hand seem to believe in the nanny state and treating everybody like utter morons unable to think and fend for themselves. That is anti-nature.

Vanessa Mifsud

Jun 8th 2009, 22:19

Mr Lowell, yes you doubled your votes, but only because you actually knew how to win votes by playing with the peoples fears - illegal immigration. And i still wonder how you were allowed to contest.

Charles Sammut

Jun 8th 2009, 21:30

A day is a long time in politics. Just 2 days ago very few would have admitted here that s/he voted for Lowell.

I will be the first to admit that Lowell made many mistakes early on, but he has now matured politically and has gained respectablility.

Jos Vella

Jun 8th 2009, 20:31

Illegal immigration is not the only problem on this island; there are more issues pestering the Maltese population such as unemployment, the low level of tourism, the unfair pricing of comodities. Unfortunately you had only one item in your agenda, but it seems that to some of the voters was one was enough. You doubled the votes so Congratulations; keep on improving with more structured arguments, and please do not blame me for not giving you the vote. I just was not convinced but I do not exclude the possibility to count you in, in the next election; -)

J.Spiteri

Jun 8th 2009, 19:04

Mr. Norman Lowell must be credited as the ONLY person who really spoke out against illegal immigration and the irreversible grave consequences it would bring to our country. A true patriot!

R. Callus

Jun 8th 2009, 19:01

I don't agree that the people who voted Lowell did so because they believe in the extreme right ideology. Some might, however I'm sure the majority of them just agree with his immigration stand. I doubt how many of them agree with doing away with trade unions, minimum wages, and social benefits. I seriously doubt how many would like a political system that leaves a lee way for a dictatorship or quasi-dictatorship. I seriously doubt whether Zeza ta Bubaqra and Cikku Floqqos agree that they are too stupid to vote.

Peter Borg

Jun 8th 2009, 18:36

I HOPE TO HAVE A MALTESE FAR RIGHT PARTY LIKE THE ONE IN THE NETHERLANDS VERY SOON! The circumstances that are witnessed in Malta are crying out loud for a STRONG far right party.

@ jamie pace - tidher li tifhem hafna fil-gazazi... I hope you are not crying over the spilt milk, (or should I say the 35,000+ votes?) the pn has lost to pl and IE.

Josef Micallef

Jun 8th 2009, 18:23

@ Mark Vella - well said mate!

It was really 'strange' (to a certain point) that no boatloads arrived in these last few weeks - soon they will start arriving in hundreds like what has happened during the winter, and will start taking our jobs, our land, our cities, our country! It is a real pity to loose our culture - what has made us Maltese, our Religion, our traditions in a decade or two! Just because the local parties are just looking - probably they will soon employ some people to go greet them upon their arrival!

Joe Fenech

Jun 8th 2009, 18:14

Yes Norman. Remind people of our post-war heroes like Nerik Mizzi and start defending our country.

Jesmar Cremona

Jun 8th 2009, 16:19

Well done Norman.
This is the second time I've voted for you! It is a shame that you have not been elected... I remember you saying that if Malta do not act immedietly (2004 re the illegal immagrants) we will have a very big problem...
Now because the elections were getting nearer both PL & PN started talking re the Illegal immigrants.
Ara veru jaghmlu ghal voti...

Joss Galea

Jun 8th 2009, 14:27

It's really scary that this man got so many votes. I cannot understand how one can vote for a racist! I believe that the immagration issue is a big problem, but it cannot be resolved through racism. His believes are based on hatred!

S.Bonnici

Jun 8th 2009, 14:23

It seems that Norman Lowell was right.
His message shows that he is a strong person.

Politics is Power, and nothing else.
In england, Powell was right..
So if Powell was right, why should lowell be Wrong?

Alan Bugeja

Jun 8th 2009, 14:23

@Jamie pace: What a patethic comment you left, "But we voted for the best candidates we believe.." haha, then you're living in the clouds, if you're not living in the clouds as i assume you are after your comment you should know that the majority of the maltese always vote for their party and will never vote the other one or someone new. In malta the number of people who do some homework and think who's the best person for our country before they vote is very very few and that's one of the biggest problems we have.

Well done to Lowell and Imperium Europa i hope that votes for imperium europe will continue to increase in the future!! Please never give up.

Mark Vella

Jun 8th 2009, 14:10

Hi Norman,

don't give up! Maybe the Maltese will sometime wake up....to find what was once the Maltese islands all covered with Illegal immigrants!

I bet from now, that the boats are already departing Libya now that the elections are over.....

Stefan De Bono

Jun 8th 2009, 14:06

Well Done Norman!
Malta needs a voice in Parlament.

People talk about you and the fact that you where right!
You doubled the votes and that's a good sign that you and your party are growing!

Keep it Up
Mr Lowell

Good job Lowell I am proud to have voted for you.

Jun 8th 2009, 13:57

Well done Lowell!! The right is rising once again! FINALLY!

Charles Sammut

Jun 8th 2009, 13:57

@ jamie pace

Lowell did not have to get elected to the EP to influence policy re illegal immigration. Up to a couple of months ago, GonziPN was proclaiming that everything was under control and that illegal immigration did not present a national emergency. The fact that Lowell foresaw this 5 or 6 years ago speaks volumes for the vision of this man and the lack thereof on the part of Gonzi.

Fact is that the majority of people in Malta will believe what they see on TV and will vote for the opportunity to go out carcading and taunting their political adversaries. Someone coined the word 'sheeple' to describe this species, how very apt.

Alex Spiteri

Jun 8th 2009, 13:27

LONG LIVE NORMAN LOWELL!

Mr Norman Lowell....you sound so much like a cry baby that has just dropped his gaza gaza(dummy) be it known to you that the people of malta ve strongly made there point by your recent failure to get elected as a MEP....its got nothing to do with voting for party names like you did mentioned....but we voted for the best candidates we believe that have the common sense of reasoning, of our immediate generation like those of our fellow EU member states and not some one who would take us back a thousand years BC......WAKE UP FROM YOUR SLUMBER MR NORWEL YOU JUST DONT VE IT IN YOU TO LEAD OR REPRESENT US EU......
