They might portray themselves as the pinnacle of seriousness, but, in reality, even politicians will make us smile thanks to some lapsus or quirk, from time to time.

Politician Tonio Borg brings us anecdotes from the corridors of parliament, recalls meetings and moments of tension and shares them with the readers through his book Nidħqu Bina Nfusna – Politika bi Tbissima published by Kite Group.

This is the first time a politician writes about real life stories from parliament, featuring the more comic and embarrassing situations centering around Malta’s members of parliament, from Dom Mintroff to Lawrence Gonzi, Eddie Fenech Adami, Ġorġ Borg Olivier, Joseph Muscat and Simon Busuttil.

The book contains over 120 stories and some 30 illustrations by Mark Schembri.

The author will be signing copies today at Tignè Point, Sliema.
