  • Humpty Dumpty Politics

    What makes or breaks a modern political party? Can we still talk of the terms “christian-democrat” and “socialist” (or the masacara “progressive”) when it comes to the nitty-gritty of politics in Malta? Is it just Malta that has entered a Bermuda Triangle of party values? The nationalist party might hold the “Fehmiet Bazici” (Basic Beliefs)…

  • The Ignorant Masses

    James Debono penned a brilliant blog post that you can read here : There’s something about Labour.

  • Honour Among Thieves

    There’s nothing better than giving a Times report the “Lorna” treatment in order to really get an impartial picture of the partisan positions in the honorarium saga. Farrugia’s meeting with the PM was swell. The Cabinet took a day off to find a way out of shit creek without a paddle and an announcement is…
