The electorate are confused and disgusted. Our Prime Minister is a gentleman but he has been duped by his own people. We have a minority government which is governing our country when the majority of the electorate opted against a Nationalist administration.

There is no faith in this administration, despite a well-intentioned effort by the Prime Minister to put on an acceptable Cabinet.

There is confusion within the Labour Party - the 48.7 per cent who voted for the MLP under Dr Sant are disillusioned as their leader immediately resigned and no one is aware as to who exactly is running the party, or how the party is being currently administered.

Two smaller parties had their leaders call it a day in the footsteps of Dr Sant. What country is this, what leaders do we have, can the people have faith in our political system and the ingrained corruption that has become the symbol of the powerful in my country?

Malta wastes time hounding persons like Norman Lowell only because he spoke his mind in what is constitutionally a free country; the real scoundrels are still usurping precious land, abusing of the laws of our land, and even being elected to Parliament by a largely idiotic electorate who are manipulated and who cannot sift the wheat from the chaff.

This is the country, dear Prime Minister, that you are governing ,with the common people grumbling and annoyed but feeling impotent and unable to do anything. Let us get out of this mess with honour. Please call another general election, do not even convene Parliament, but do not resign.

Let us have a fair and clean election campaign, where each divergent opinion will be given adequate space to voice its views and explain its objectives.

Demand that the Broadcasting Authority immediately resign for the manner they treated the smaller fry with a mere five minutes airtime to expose them to ridicule.

Let us halt having a Mickey-Mouse country and get down to serious professionalism, a characteristic which is flagrantly lacking in our country where nepotism and back-scratching are the supreme command of each day.

Long live a clean Malta and let us go back to the polls for a just, not manipulated, result, where voters will be truly free and hear each and every opinion before they go and vote!
