Since the declared departure of Simon Busuttil, it has become evident that he was the only person with some straight political thoughts.

It is evident that there is no think-tank within the Nationalist Party. I see a picture of everyone fending for himself. I, as a Nationalist supporter of many years, cannot believe that other Nationalist supporters can fall to such depths in remarks they make on Facebook. No wonder we lost the election with such a great majority.

I am more than sure the PN can recover by, first, ditching the idea that having a leader with a heavy baggage is hastening the way to the grave; second, by forgetting, once and for all, that the top people are infallible and should listen to sound and well-meant advice; third, ensuring the party machine restructures its media, especially Radio 101, which is a complete failure and a washout.

I will look forward to listen to what Busuttil will say in his farewell speech and I hope that, on Saturday, voters will firmly keep in mind the words of a leader who truly loved the party.
