The Prime Minister’s triumphant tone upon announcing the passage of the same-sex unions law may have gone down well with the gay community, but it may also have alienated the vast majority of people who follow the teachings of the Church faithfully.

He is also reported to have said “we are doing this for our children, my children”. Well if he has done it for his children it’s his prerogative, but he should not have had the temerity of including our (presumably all Maltese) children in the equation.

Muscat’s dubious strategy is effective for he panders to sectors of the population (albeit minorities) to gain support. We had the hunters, the construction lobby and now the gay community. What’s next – abortion?

As a socialist, Muscat if following the steps taken by Spanish ex-premier Zapatero (another socialist) who attacked the values of the Spanish people in the same manner. His day of reckoning did arrive a couple of years ago, however, but by then we also had to witness the Spanish economy in tatters.
