I think that JPO should put out or shut up

; Pullicino Orlando sticks to his guns...but will not publish the messages from other fellow Nationalist MPs '

It is quite obvious that some of those 33 MPs are on the alert to grapple the first opportunity to sabotage Lawrence Gonzi.

Such people have gone out of their allegiance to the party and to the government.

Soon after the election there were MPs who cerulated petitions among the constituents requesting Dr Gonzi

to appoint them Ministers in the Cabinet. However the only promotion that they got was an appointment as

Parliamentary Assistants. I consider these appointments as Clerk-typist in the Ministries

Jpo is the PN primadonna. 'The end jkustifies the means '.

If your mobile phone gets lost or stolen, all the said messages will be made public before you know it and your point made.

You can try leaving it in open view.....

Let me attempt to predict the future. Our Prime Minister will continue to continue business as usual even though a number of PN MPs continuously express disagreement. We will come to summer recess and Dr. Lawrence Gonzi will announce election date. This will give the PN a summer of marketing its party and its past achievements and all that is negative with the PL. As I have grown older I have realised that we must have a system that guarantees that the same political leadership does not last more than, maximum 10 years.
It is unhealthy for the same party to remain in government and the change in the electoral system should be designed in such a way as to protect those who blindfoldedly vote for the same party becaue they claim it is in their blood.

What JPO and Franco Debono did is what happens in every democtratic country. When MPs are in parliament they are not answerable to their party but to us citizens.

If all MPs start following suite, things will start changing in a positive way, not according to the party that is instigating the change.

Whether he publishes any SMS's or not, no one Nationalist or Labourite, would be so stupidly credulous as to believe again the tearful author of the deceitful charade known as Mistragate.

JPO claimed "another eight government MPs wished to vote for the Richard Cachia Caruana motion." The Nationalist Party stated"a declaration signed by 33 MPs saying they had no intention to vote for the opposition’s motion" So while JPO uses the word "wished" , the PN declaration uses "no intention" and there is a big difference between "wishing" and "intending."

Why all this fuss it's an open secret that many MP don't like the leadership for one reason or another.

Why all this fuss of JPO’s assertion that 10 other MPs were prepared to vote for the motion but didn’t?

The fact of the matter is that when push comes to shove, those 10 MPs just toed the party line and voted against the motion (unlike JPO and Mugliett)!

JPO must be living in a parallel world and must realize that he has to come down to the real world!

It’s not what you say that counts, but what you do!
