That the PN is tired and needs a short rest might be more than obvious. We all feel it and see it. They sound more like a cackling of cock-fighting cliques all out to out-pique their own sort.

Labour is our hope.

Yes it is.

For sure.

Definitely.

I have no doubt.

And I base this feeling on good trusted faith. And nothing less than faith.

So let’s analyse the facts and put aside the fairy tales.

PN is jaded with a big internal problem. True enough. So let’s chuck them all out into the dark. I repeat this in case some commentators say I’m all blue and part of the GonzisPiN. 

PL, the movement, is our hope. Resounding YES.

Let’s give substance to my words.

Dr Muscat has a meeting with the creatives of Malta. He pronounces great words about how all worthy people are to be given due recognition and talent is to be glorified. How TV is to promote and show talent even if not always commercially profitable.

These are words worthy of a messiah who has just descended and promises heaven and more on earth. But this reminds me of more worthy words uttered a few months back when Dr Muscat promised us that bureaucracy is to be eliminated. Great great words. Great great designs. Nothing tangible. Nothing planned. Platitudes. Nice words. But no substance of how all this is going to be implemented and put into practice.

Dr Muscat keeps telling us that only the talented ones will be chosen. And who will be the super-talented ones making the choices for us?

Labour will work I’m sure. Till now all I know is that they will work in dreams, in hopes of turning Malta into a wonderful country where all works well and all is fine. But there is a slight rift between hoping, dreaming and convincing me that all this is not just empty, useless talk.

If Dr Muscat & Co have a plan for the arts and for everything else let’s hear it. Not just that they wish Malta to be a heaven. We all wish that. But how that wish is going to be turned into a living reality is still pie in the sky.

Life is somewhat tougher than just wishing things and then waiting for a magic wand to turn them into reality. If that were so I’d instantly turn into a Brad Pitt double for a jolly good life.

Placing politics into the realm of just dreams and fantasy turns politicians into brats and a gullible electorate into asses.
