Marriage equality bill: well done to Vassallo and Fenech

Sunday, 16 July 2017, 08:37 Last update: about 8 years ago

I agree completely with Edwin Vassallo and Tonio Fenech's stand on the new Marriage Bill and what should have been the PN's position. I identify myself with their thoughts and beliefs. May there be Members of Parliament and other politicians who express the same views and are courageous enough to act accordingly in the future.

Many people are fed up with the way in which a certain element of Maltese society and our political class are abandoning our traditional values and choosing a Godless society. I obviously don't think that a fundamentalist state is in order but, on the other hand, what is wrong with having an enriching Catholic presence in our Parliament and what is wrong with having politicians who are not hypocrites and who also practise their faith through their political involvement?

When someone expresses his or her views, everybody would agree that he or she has every right to do so. So why do so many people judge that very same person and think that he or she is imposing himself or herself on others when, instead of ideas and opinions, this person is putting forward his or her religious beliefs, values and morality?

Well done to Vassallo and Fenech. So many people are feeling represented in Parliament through Vassallo's choice. He is not alone and I am sure there are thousands who believe he made the correct choice.
