The PL - groaning and moaning when still in opposition that will certainly continue if God forbid they are elected. They just don’t have a clue. How on earth can they stimulate the economy and the common good with all their nit-picking and negativity? It is a case of déjà vu. Remember 1996 - 1998 someone? So simple - Labour won’t work.

Is solitu storja ta Gonzipn. Meta tkun gejja l-elezzjoni kollox imur tajjeb. L-istroja dejjem tirrepeti ruha. Issa jekk sejrin daqs hekk tajjeb allura il gvern imissu inaqqas l income tax bhal ma wieghed fl ahhar budget, izid il minimum wage u servizzi socjali, inaqqas il kontijiet ta dawl, ilma gas, petrol u diesel. Izid in nefqa fl edukazzjoni, fis sahha u jofri aktar medicini b xejn.

d.vella to keep the economy working like PN is very easy and everybody can do by continue increasing the national debt to the limit of Greece which is round the corner.

Such figures are communicated by NSO to its counterpart in the European Union, Eurostat. Far from elections round the corner as such figures are always checked diligently.

May I welcome the good news and congratulate Dr Lawrence Gonzi, Mr Tonio Fenech and the rest of the team for a job well done. Well done to you all. At the moment, Malta surely is solely on the right track, thanks to a very focused and great leader despite all the trouble internally and externally.

Nahseb li kulhadd jiehu gost b'dan ghax iggawdi kulhadd. Nisperaw li l-figuri li qed ittuna huma korretti u mhux xi haga ghax gejja l-elezzjoni.

The same electoral fables. Oil explored, deficit overwhelmed, profits for Airmalta, full employment, profits for dockyard, profits for freeport, power station efficient and no pollution, jobs secured for airmalta, and Go, and dockyrd employees A single swallow does not make a summer. This is a brainwashing campaign, which HIDES the true stories with the help of our national TV station.

What the government seems to be doing is borrow more and more to fund its expenditure. The national debt is now over 5 Billion and that's not including the billions that Enemalta and other government entities owe. If we carry on like this our national debt will be one of the highest in the Eurozone. The next Labour government is going to inherit a debt timebomb waiting to explode.

Can we really believe what the politicians say (remember Greece & Spain)?

There needs to be a real effort to reduce the benefits fraud, and corruption in many areas.
Are we sure that the VAT scandal is dead and buried - or are abuses continuing for example?

There also needs to be a correlation exercise between vehicle owners and valid insurances/driving licenses.
