It’s becoming increasingly evident the Labour Party and its online supporters haven’t yet come to terms with their own victory. They continue to drag the Nationalist Party into any criticism directed at them in a bid to dilute the impressive shortcomings of the past 100 days.

However, the PN is still licking its wounds and will be for a while, so the onus for any bad decisions, or broken electoral promises, must now fall squarely on Joseph Muscat’s shoulders. It is not Lawrence Gonzi’s fault that Muscat’s call for meritocracy turned out to be a total and utter scam.

It is not Austin Gatt’s fault that Foreign Minister George Vella is so paranoid that he bans mobile phones to meetings that he’s called and follows this up with a statement calling for more media control.

It is not Mario de Marco’s decision that the Ministry of Culture has been downgraded to that of a parliamentary secretariat with a reluctant PS, who thinks that three carnivals is a cultural upgrade.

Former Health Minister Joe Cassar cannot be blamed for the long queues at Mater Dei Hospital or the shortage of medicines. It is now Godfrey Farrugia’s responsibility.

Tonio Fenech’s gift clock worth €200 pales into insignificance when compared to the €3,600 Franco Mercieca earned in one morning in breach of a special waiver bestowed on him by the Prime Minister.

Wining the election was the easy part but running the country and the economy is an entirely different ball game. And Labour must accept criticism and learn from it because they are being judged.

Otherwise, if they can’t stand the heat… then they really should get out of the kitchen.
