A few snapshots of my first day in Malta. Drove straight to Ghadira from the airport and had a lovely afternoon swim in crystal clear waters with no sign of jellyfish in sight. Later, when the sun set and I had gone through thede rigeur “torta with gbejna and ful” (pie with gozo cheese and beans) I drove up to Evans building for a quick pick up of my voting document.
Or so I thought. I had read in the Times (not inflight, thanks to a Union strike) that 19,000 votes remained uncollected until Wednesday night. I am sure that the figure will need some revising after witnessing the queues today. People seem to have changed their mind and might be choosing to make a statement through their vote. Interesting. Gonzi must be happy. Maybe.
Or maybe they will heed J’accuse and Vote 1. Cassola, 2. Grech, 3. Demicoli (yes, feedback from J’accuse readers has shown that an overwhelming number among you prefer Grech to Mizzi on the Labour ticket. So be it. Let it not be said that J’accuse is not capable of the best of U-turns!)
