Mary Ann Borg
Is it possible for you to UNDERSTAND that the CONSTITUTION provided that the party who got most seats won the election? The PN tried to take advantage of this fact when in 1971 it LOST the election by THOUSANDS of voted and yet demanded many counts of the Qormi district because if it had got that seat which it lost by some 7 votes it would have governed. This is part from the GERRYMANDERING it had carries out by changing the number of seats so that different districts had a different number of candidates. As for the 2008 general election, Gonzi's government is a MINORITY government because it got a minority of vote apart from STEALING the election by not changing the ID Cards so that people who according to law are not entitled to vote came back to do so. That is also GERRYMANDERING MaryAnn. This is the main reason why Gonzi did not change the ID Cards and still hasn't done so.

@ Tommy Vella..Is that all you have to say .1 down 2 to go @ Joe Vella... You are squeezing the argument, because if you are my age you know better were our taxes went. Let me remind you just a little. Opened hundreds of factories, erected the Mid Med,Bank of Valletta,China Dock, AirMalta,SeaMalta Freeport, Social benefits, Maternity leave, Minimum wage,ect..ect..ect.. About the jobs.. you are totally wrong..I am on retirement pension, I have work for 47 years and still doing something,so I know what a person without work feels like. So to guarantee my pension,what do you think I wish. Yes you are right...people working. I really wish to see that day, that the unemployment goes down drastically, I hope that it will be in my life time. 2 down 3 to go @ Mary Ann Borg........After you read this comment because there are some of your answers..... please be kind enough and read my other comment very carefully, because the way you made your comment seems that you read it like you read your comics.

@gc Forte and lgalea: But is it impossible for you to understand the very basic fact that in both 1981 and 2008 elections PN got more votes than MLP? That is, Maltese citizens opted for PN and in both instances PN should have governed. How do you expect your Lejber to govern when in both cases Lejber garnered less votes than PN? You call Gonzi arrogant but expect Labour to govern with less votes than Gonzi. Now that's really some comic-logic. In the meantime, bite your fingernails each time you hear of more investment coming our way. You can sow as many doubts as you wish, but each time the Maltese citizen was asked to vote in the last 6 out of 7 elections, it voted PN. And again, I am no fortune teller so I cannot say what the future holds and will not bet on who will win the next election. All I know is that Labour supporters hail victory before and during the election itself, only to go into hiding for the first few days after the results, time and time again.

Are you all daft ? isn't this what the government is meant to do? Why all the god bless part ? Don't be led by your noses.

@ g.c Forte

Maltese taxes went oversees under PL Governments in the form of interest payments to foreign lenders because Maltese didn' t trust the respective PL Governments. Contrary, now a days. when the Government or Private enterprise issue a call it is oversubscribed before it hits the road. Today Maltese have full trust in PN Governments and the Maltese economy. g.c. Forte, do not worry, the jobs will come sooner then you will think. The sad think is that you and the Gloom and Doom crowd will not only regret the day instead of rejoicing it.

You are right Forte, but some people do not want the know the truth or the truth to be known by those who do not remember that ġpart of history.

@ J Brincat. Once you are not seeing what is going around you, it seems that you are giving to the Govt what actually belongs to you. Pls wake up and open your blurred eyes and compare what is happening in other countries to what is happening here. The Nats Govts have changed Malta completed from a miserable dictatorial state to a free prosperous country which has given back free speech even to people like you.

Good to know that the goverment is working.

And I thought that it was in a permanent hibernating state!

This is what Malta needs at the moment, not clowning in Valletta. The opposition is having fun in Valletta and the Govt is working to bring much needed capital to provide jobs for our workers.

@ R Azzoppardi
YES unfortunately you have to be living in a world of your own to be a PL Supporter. And when I say 'unfortunatley' I mean it. I was hoping that the end of the Sant era meant the beginning of a new PL. So far it has only been wishful thinking!

@ Tommy Vella...............You do not know the story my friend, and it will be better for you to go and read the books again. The President ( Agata Barbara ) tried to find a solution, but it was difficult, because if the M.L.P. accepted a defeat ,and resigned,it goes against our Constitution,and if on the other hand if the P.N. took over, the Constitution will be broken as well,because by that time,it stipulate that " THE PARTY WHICH BRINGS THE MAJORITY OF SEATS WILL GOVERN ". So after 2 years of uncertain situation because of the P.N. they came to an agreement that the Constitution will be changed, in fact that`s what happened. The most important thing to know is, that while the P.N was on parliamentary strike for 2 years, the first thing they wanted to attend is ...that they get paid for those two years absent from parliament. If you were born by that time. you should have paid for them. Go...Go.. and read some comics.

@ Giovann Said

When this government is brought down, then you can talk.

Tommy Vella

@ Anthony A. Mifsud.

I never said that it was against the constitution. What I stated is a true historical fact. Never since Independence, and I think befire it as well, did we have a party governing without having the majority of the electorate behind it.

And in that instant, th PL, instead of doing the gentlemanly gesture of trying to remedy the situatiion, it remained stuck to pwer for the longest possible time. It was the longest serving government ever.

@Tommy Vella,
Sur Vella you need to go back and read the constiution. When you talk about the past you have to indicate that in those days and time the stute was Majorit of seats and who ever was leading you made a clown out of you all, as you are repeating the same old story.
Why did the PN went into parlament if they had the Majoriy?
You fell for it.
Go back and read your books agian

Prosit to teh Cardinal Health management team and to its diligent and able workforce. This is another success story which should encourage further investment in the manufacturing sector in Malta and in the Maltese workers.

Proset Dr. Gonzi, It is " expected " to expand, O.K. it is a positive thing, but no where is said of how many new employees are going to work....... I hope it is not more than 7000 employees,because we need some far Smart City. Tifirhu ghax flusna qeghedin immorru l-barra min xtutna.

Mario Azzopardi

Good news! But considering is not the same as actually expanding. We will believe it when we see it. By the way is it true that a lot of factories are actually paying minimum wage or less to their workers or else they threaten to close down or shed workers. Somebody can illuminate us. Or is this just a rumour?

@ all critics to my comment:

It useless having a majority of votes with no majority of deputies backing the PM in Parliament. Alfred Sant had 8,000 votes majority in the 1996 election but they were useless since Dom Mintoff turned against him and brought the government down in 1998!

@Giovann Said

Please solve this mystery for me. Do you have to live in a world of your own to be a PL supporter?

Tommy Vella

Feb 17th 2010, 15:42

I think that you are mixing things up. Only PL governed without having a majority (1981-1987). Dr Gonzi does have a majority of votes, not absolute, but a majority just the same, of about 1500 votes.

C. Sapiano

Feb 17th 2010, 15:36

@Giovann Said

Gonzi is govening with a relative majority for your information. The PN won most votes in the last election, but maybe you were living in another planet.

Giovann Said

Feb 17th 2010, 15:33

Thank you Dr. Gonzi for INCREASING THE UTILITY TARIFFS AND CONTINUE GOVERNING WITHOUT MAJORITY. God bless you always!!
