Two Glasshouses

Malta Independent Tuesday, 1 July 2008, 00:00 Last update: about 18 years ago

The Nationalist Party has its new home and, like the one on the other side, it is made of glass.

I remember the PN trying to mock the Malta Labour Party and its “glasshouse” when this was built some time ago. They used to say that it would have been difficult for the MLP to keep its secrets because it had become transparent.

Now we have two glasshouses. What should we now say about the Nationalist Party? That it has also become transparent?

On another note, it is quite ironic that the PN and MLP headquarters face each other, a stone’s throw away. Will a heated argument on one side be heard from the other? Or will binoculars be trained on the other side?

Some things seem to happen only in Malta.
