latest comment from Ian Zahra, 15/07/2020 05:54: Child speak and reasoning. It's not about the party it's the nation's future which is at stake. Delia is too compromised and ineffectual. No one in his right sense will vote for a future PM who doesn't pay his taxes. Trid tkun cuc

Opposition Leader Adrian Delia has said that he intends to drastically change the Opposition’s shadow cabinet during TVM’s programme Realtà. 17 MPs from the PN Parliamentary...

latest comment from Vani, 15/07/2020 04:17: Delia may wish to change his shadow cabinet, indeed a worthless gesture, but what if the true PNers decide to take a leaf out of his book, and refuse to step aside? Will he roll up his shirt sleeves and while threatening to punch their clocks, shout "zommuni" and move one step forward and two back? Or will he grow up and walk away with the last vestiges of dignity left to him?

latest comment from Spiru Friggieri, 15/07/2020 04:15: Rest assured I no personal interest whatsoever (contrary to you) but am I totally against hypocrisy. Whenever it is in our favour then the institutions are doing their job, whenever it is against us the institutions failed and start insinuating about corruption, mafia and what not!!!!

latest comment from Solomon Grundy, 14/07/2020 14:20: A well written editorial. Let us not throw caution out of the window.

latest comment from Solomon Grundy, 14/07/2020 11:30: We have become nauseated with the corrupt here, corrupt there , corrupt everywhere disc. it is becoming hollow and losing effectiveness. AD is up to now the leader of the opposition as leader of PN - appointed by the Party not the parliamentary group. If today he is ousted then a new leader will be chosen in due course and this person will be appointed leader of the Opposition. Is this rocket science for you? Why did the 17 heroes not form a separate parliamentary group? They would form the largest opposition group, entitled to have the LOO. The farrugias formed a separate group when they split from Labour. Mind you we understand that two members of this heroic group had meeting with YF? Is that OK for you or did they meet to say the rosary? IS there any provision in maltese law for sanctions on insulting or ridiculing the office of the presidency? The better be careful what is uttered of the top of one's head
