Former Labour MP Luciano Busuttil says he will not be contesting another election, adding that politicians are “like prostitutes for votes with continuous threats from constituents”.

In an interview with the Commercial Courier, which Busuttil uploaded on his Facebook page, the former MP said “life is worth more than that uncomfortable green chair”.

Busuttil was not elected in the last election.

“People do not realise what sacrifices one has to endure just to have the honour of serving one’s country,” he said.
