I would have thought that a person who projects himself as a rising star, who declares that he could teach the Prime Minister some lessons, and who publishes his Form Two brilliant examination results to prove his validity, would have preferred to go down in history as a patriotic knight in shining armour who saved his country from the brink of catastrophe.

Instead he is going to be remembered as a Form Two student stamping his feet and saying jew nilgħab jew inħassar (I either play or I will spoil your game).

I am sure he could have done something more sensible to attain his ambitions.
