@ Victor Laiviera. As long as nothing is constitutionally wrong Malta will remain a democracy. Did it not remain a democracy in 1981 when the PL was in MINORITY?

The political crises was simply created by a guy who wasn't made minister... secondly, the 'political crises' was amplified by the PL to take the chance of toppling down the government...
If the government was performing bad like high rises of unemployment, no investments, no projects, creating a total mess in our economy etc then yes, it would be a crises and the PL will do a good thing to topple down the government, however the things I mention do not exists, therefore the PL is just hungry for power after 25 years in opposition, becuase the people elected the PN for 5 years, and not 3, or 4 years and the PN are performing well.
Apart from that, I worry when I think of Joseph Muscat, not that I have anything against him, however his lack of speech and lack of ideas and the thing of 'will let you know when i'm Prime Minister' is just a game playing with people... no thanks, Dr. Joseph Muscat, I liked you more of a journalist then being my Prime Minister.

The reasons are irrelevant. What matters is whether the Government has a majority in the House. If yes, fine. Of not, it needs to call, an election.
If it wants Malta to remain a democracy, that is.

@Joseph Camilleri
Cannot believe anyone bought the idea that Franco did all this because he wasn't made minister!He spoke of all the corruption and shortcomings of the party he believes in, literally ending his career just for the hope of bringing about necessary and much needed changes to Malta before the end of this legislature, yet some people actually bought the daphne excuse of doing this because he lost some competition with his ex-classmate JM.
Though FD seems to have eased a little right now we have a parliament that is doing nothing,not because JM wants to become prime minister, but because Gonzi wants cling to power and hopefully not lose by a landslide next election.
Unemployment in Malta is steady yes, but because we have a lot of women who do not even try to find work.When you look at the number of working people in Malta it is a relatively small number.This either means these people don't need to work(doubt it) or they half heartedly tried to join the workforce and failed.
