Since gonzipn seems satisfied with the results and believes it won a victory what will keep Lawrence from calling a general election he still does not have a parliamentary majority.

@ George Borg

Well said, George. Now all the agendas of the EP sittings will be set up by the 4 PL MEP. PL once said that Malta in the EU will be a ' makku '. To day they are imagining themselves 'baleni'. U HALLUNA !!!!

Muscat hails labour..

Kif se tkunu inthom wara l-elezzjoni generali li gejja.
Spicca l-kju fl-emergenza tal-Mater Dejn?

R. Caruana, J Busuttil
What about the 35,000 votes that Labour got the week before?
Birkirkara a PN stronghold was only won by the PN with about 80 votes and you call that a victory? Just wait for the next general election

@Charles Agius: Did Simon Busuttil write your post? You just parrotted the same reasoning he dished out on Bondi+, which then was inflated and brainwashed on NET News so that you blue eyed elves repeat the same crap. I think that you are putting GonziPN irritating salt on your wounds after the tkaxkira. If you put a nice PL refreshing pomade, you see that your wounds will heal quickly!!!
@GiovDeMartino: Tal-lejber can be desperate because they have lost a series of national elections, but the PN elves are desperate because they are beaten up by their own government, which leads everyone to conclude that these elves have sadistic tendencies.

Glad to see PN apologists happy with result. Like LG, no lessons learnt.

Pure arrogance.... Labour supporters should be loving it.

When will PN realise what a mess it is in.

The sooner they realise they lost both 6 June elections BADLY ... the better for them.

Joseph Muscat has wreak havoc within the PN. It's time to admit it.

Malta's employment growth rates as per EUROSTAT statistical office - Percentage change in employment compared to the same quarter of the previous year Qrt 2, 2008 - an increase of 2.9%, Qrt 3, 2008 - an increase of 2.5%, Qrt 4, 2008 - an increase of 1.8% and Qrt 1, 2009 - an increase of 1.8%. Thanks Dr. Gonzi for tackling the world economic recession in the best way possible. It is awful to lose elections but its worse to lose our job. Thanks for choosing the former option to safeguard our jobs.

Who would like to confirm these statistics log on to http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/cache/ITY_PUBLIC/2-15062009-AP/EN/2-15062009-AP-EN.PDF

"Muscat hails Labour local elections victory"

Labour Party lost six councils in 15 months - Mqabba - Santa Venera - Mellieha - Mtarfa - San Gwann - Pieta'

PL, keep living in a dream ! You are giving your die hard supporters the wrong message. You know very well that despite your great victory, PL actually did not increase in its popularity. PL people that count know very well that PN is still electable ! The impression being transmitted is that Barroso's opening speech to the new parliament will be something like - NOW MEP, THIS NEW PARLIAMENT WILL FIRST BE CONSULTING THE 4 MALTESE MEP BEFORE SETTING UP THE AGENDA AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT MOST OF THE SITTINGS WILL BE DISCUSSING THE ' UGIEGH TAL-MALTIN ' , i.e. PRIORITIES FIRST. GERMANY, FRANCE, UK, ITALY , KINDLY TAKE NOTE. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO SHOW MY BIG SATISFACTION THAT MY NAME HAPPENS TO BE JOSE' MANUEL, JUST LIKE THE TWO ' BOZOZ TA' L-ELF' BROTHERS THAT COME FROM THIS SMALL ISLAND - ONE BEING A NEW MEP AND HIS BROTHER GIVING FREE LESSONS/ ADVICES DAILY ON RADIO.

sorry to say this imma i think the message fell on deaf ears???. the people from all kinds of life from big and small had their say" we can not keep up with our cost of living and over paying of bills. no business can service with an ever increasing rate of costings that out seeds our income" listen to the people be there for them and not just for yourself's ???

Good Luck Joseph for the Eu Election result. No one in Malta ever managed to lure so many voters.You managed to mesmerise the electorate by pouring salt on open wounds and the people in their delirium looked at you as some kind of a "saviour". The people were and may be are still in some form of trance. Celebrating victories that don't exist and wanting to forget that the result will only lead more to crusades against Gonzi & Co. Eventually the aim is to get power as soon as possible no matter what it takes. This is no truth game. Labour has no solutions. Joseph confirmed it himself in the interview to "The Sunday Times". 'When we win we will look at the state of the country and decide'. How sweet of you Joseph. Very original! You might be young but your reasoning is as old as politics!

@ R. Caruana Yes Joseph is dreaming of a better future for our country....and so is 55% of the voters!!!!

Us....you....we.... That's what the Maltese politics are all about? Ownership? R. Caruana, Trevor Mizzi, J Busuttil, unless you were actually candidates in any of these elections, you sound absolutely ridiculous. You are just people who have the right to vote, and should do it intelligently, rather than pointing fingers and placing yourselves in your own little niches. Open up to some brain activity, for God's sake.

How easily you manage to forget a majority of 35,000 for as little as 3 location majorities. Still though I'm sure our great leader Joseph Muscat will see through the matter. But please don't try to ignore the MEP's defeat the PN has just suffered.

Trevor Mizzi

Jun 15th 2009, 19:44

@R. Caruana,J.Busutill Maybe you too have a short memory!!! Remember a week ago that Labour won with 35,000?? That's what we call victory...maybe you're dreaming now!!

R. Caruana

If losing three councils is a victory, Muscat will believe anything that he tells himself! Others, who can think with their own minds, know better. Especially at how disastrous was the Imtarfa council when led by a Labour majority. Just ask those living there... not to forget the San Gwann farce of anonimous letters. Dream on, Joseph, dream on.

Three years ago Labour won these round of Local election by 54 %. Now we have the same result with Labour losing 3 councils. In the meantime Labour lost a General election. Same of the same for Labour but MINUS 3 councils.
