This is not a coalition

In Europe, coalitions are formed by two or more ‘real’ parties on a joint programme. Malta’s is a pact between a weakened Prime Minister and a bitter MP brought about by the dissolution of GonziPN.

Independent: Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando.
Independent: Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando.

The pseudo-coalition is the logical conclusion of GonziPN.

Surely the PN was always in itself a coalition of conflicting ideologies, interests and social groups. But under Eddie Fenech Adami these conflicts were addressed within strong party structures under the watch of a very strong leader. 

Surely, Fenech Adami's task was made easier by the overriding issues of his time: democracy in the 1980s and Europe in the 2000s, which gave the party an overriding rallying cry that overshadowed all other differences.

GonziPN signalled a historical break: a new system of government and party leadership epitomised by the GonziPN motif. It was an electoral campaign geared towards a presidential style of government, which ignored the fact that Malta remains a parliamentary democracy. 

The fact that Gonzi won against all odds, albeit with a wafer-thin, relative majority, gave him the false impression that he could translate an electoral slogan into a system of government. This was made easier by the departure of senior cabinet members like Louis Galea and John Dalli that could rival his influence in the party.

Not surprisingly, Gonzi himself has never hidden his preference for such a system that could also allow him to appoint technocrats as ministers to certify a system where ministers are accountable directly to him.

Ultimately this led to an effective coalition between Gonzi and his allies with an increasingly troublesome backbench. Since trust and loyalty were the only binding factors, whenever this trust was undermined the government experienced a crisis.

Moreover, for the first three years the party was relegated to the background. It was only brought back to life to deal with Gonzi's constant problems in the past two years.  Instead of a presidential system giving the country a strong leadership, the unhappy mix of a parliamentary system and a presidential style of government degenerated into eternal squabbling between a weak leader and an individual.

This is definitely not a coalition in the continental way of doing politics, where parties converge around a common programme. That is why Germany has a very stable coalition system where governments always last a whole term.

What we have now is more of a loose arrangement or pact between two individuals.  The only convergence between the two is Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando's unwillingness to bring the government down and Lawrence Gonzi's determination to hold on to his mandate right to the very end. What we have now is a coalition with an individual who is accountable to no one but to himself.

In contrast smaller coalition partners in other countries are accountable to their electorates. If they bring governments down capriciously they face electoral wipe-out. Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando does not even have to face an election next time round.  The government is literally at his mercy.

Still, as long as Gonzi has the numbers in parliament his government remains legitimate. But the new reality that the PN no longer commands a majority in parliament cannot be ignored. In light of the new circumstance Gonzi should advise the Speaker to recall parliament and present a motion calling for a vote of confidence in his government. If the government has the numbers it has the full legitimacy to continue with its mandate, irrespective of whether it is a coalition or not.

On the other side of the political Rubicon, it seems that the latest coalition arrangement has foiled the Opposition's attempt to accelerate the fall of the current government.

My understanding is that Muscat wanted an early election to ensure a strong parliamentary majority and avoid the fate of GonziPN. For even Muscat himself has adopted the same presidential style of leadership based on the feudal loyalty of candidates towards the leader, bypassing his own party by creating a parallel movement of moderates and progressives which lacks structures and democratic checks and balances.

Ironically what the country seems to be lacking at the moment are strong parties in parliament with clear identities, which can handle proper internal debate, and which do not stretch themselves beyond their natural ideological limits.

Ultimately the two-party system can no longer contain within it all the contradictory ideas in the world. Instead of enacting an electoral reform which would result in real coalition governments, we have ended up living with the worse aspect of coalition government: that of individuals with the power to withhold the proverbial key to government.

Li ghad hafna gideb tal passat li forsi saru ftit minnom ma nichadiex. L-ewwel, la kien hawn elezzjonijiet, dik tfisser Demokrazijja, u kif intrebhet fin 1981 bil kostituzzjoni li vvutaw ghaliha maggoranza nazzjonalista fin 1974, allura Gvern laburista kellu dritt, jigverna, Allavolja , ha nghidu hekk Mintoff ried jirrazenja, imma kien hemm min ma riedx, nahseb li setaw ghamlu elezzjoni ohra fi zmien qabel in 1987. Intom ghamiltu ghar min hekk ghax fin 1971 intrebhet l-elezzjoni Mintoff jghaddikom ma erba t'elef vot u rebah bi skappatura ghal hamsa u ghoxrin vot, kemm ghamiltu recounts bil gzuz ma stajtux temmnu, membru izjed biss tella, meta dak iz-zmien setaw tellaw tnejn mil anqas izjed zgur, il-popopalazzjoni kienet anqas u min kellu wiehed u ghoxrin sena l-fuq seta jivvota, x'tahseb? Sa provajtu tixtru membru parlamentari laburista, dik Demokrazijja eh? 1996 Dr.Sant jerbah bi tmien t'elef vot u maggoranza ta wiehed kellu fejn suppost maggoranza ta tlieta membri parlamentari izjed, Dik Demokrazijja hux? Mintoff qabel l-elezzjoni tan 1987 anzi biex ma jarax demm jinxtered irranga u biddel il-kostituzjoni li l-elezzjoni tintrebah b'maggoranza ta voti meta kien jaf li sejjer jitlef ghax il Gvern kien ilu hemm sittax il-sena. Dak Regim tghidlu? L-isbah wahda ta kemm thobbu lil Malta intom meta Dr.Fenech Adami mar il-Germanja jghidilom biex ma jinvestux hawn Malta, dak xi tghidlu, spjegali? Kont issib x'tixtri per ezempju dar jew flat b'interessi ssususiddjati, ta tnejn fil mijja. Demokrazijja bahh?

Ara dak ma tghidux? Mhux qieghed nghidlek li Mintoff kien perfett ghax jien per ezempju ma kontx naqbel li l-ewwel ried li l-haddiem jkollu almenu kamra tal banju qabel jixtri xi television tal kulur, dak forsi kellek ragun imma kemm kien hawn min kellu kamra tal banju fin 1971?

Miskin Progress fhiex waqa' Kellu jqabbad lil min jirrispondi minn floku! Tinnutaw did-darba kemm kiteb tajjeb bil-Malti. Tnehhi xi zball 'l haw u 'l hemm mar mhux hazin. Jien ma ktibt xejn minn mohhi. Semplicement ikkwotajt kelma b'kelma dak li kiteb haddiehor. Imma l-ex Imhallef tal-Qorti Ewropea u l-Professur tal-Universita....dawn xi cwiec huma hdejn Progress li anqas jikteb bil-Malti ma jaf. EFA qatt ma qal li jaf min qatel lil Karen Grech. Ghalkemm kien hemm dejjem hafna teoriji u hafna spekulazzjonijiet. Min qatel lil Ray Caruana ga ghedtlek. DAK QABDUH il-pulizija imma l-qorti lliberatu. Ara lil min qatel lil Karen ma qabduhx il-pulizija tar-regim. Tghid ghala hu? Missierha semma' xi id mohbija. U tinsiex li missierha kien imdahhal sewwa fil-MLP X'interess kellhom il-pulizija jkaxkru saqajhom kif allega il-Profs Grech? U kif fuq il-handyman tal-Mosta, ghal wiehed tnejn, bqajt mutu? Tista'tqabbad kemm trid u lill min trid biex jipprova jaqghilek mill-hofra li waqajt fiha, ghax tant ghandkom passat moqziez li anki anqas Eddy privitera mhu kapaci jiddefendi.

Jahasra taqax izjed f'gideb, kollu li ghad huwa gidba fahxijja. Semmejt lil Vivian De Gray, dak li qal lil Mintoff li jippreferi li hu jservi lil Imperu Ingliz l-ewwel, ghax arma ta L-Imperu Ingliz kellu fuq il-libsa meta kien kummissarju tal Puluzija, ipprefera li Malta tibqa kolonja u jservi lil Imperu, insejt , isemmiha din? X'izjed Dr. Arthur Colombo, LOl, x'sar wara ghidilna kemm kien kontra Mintoff, sa mar qassis, semmihom jew ma ssemmihomx x'ghamel, kemm hadem kontra Mintoff anki meta kien hemm id-dnub il-mejjet U min fejn gibda din il-kitba. Profs Frendo, aqra, min blog tieghu ta 2002, mur aqra sew, ghax jistaw jghamlulek libel fuq din, dawwarta kif qabillek ghal skop totalment mhux verietir. Profs Frendo ta x'jifhem li saqsa lil Dr. Cassar qabel ma miet u mhux vera li ammetta li Mintoff ried li Malta tinghaqad ma L-Itlaja ghax ma tahx risposta- IVA. Dr.Cassar mhux vera, ma semax lil Mintoff jghid hekk, aqra sew u tigdibx, mhur ara l-blog ta Dr.Frendo. Mintoff ghamel lil Malta Repubblika, taqax ghaz-zuffjett izjed, heliesna mil barrani, ma bqajniex mahkuma, MALTA kolla saret tal Maltin mhux bhal Indipendenza li gibdu intom il PN(1964) l-anqas tista tidhol go xi barracks jew Manoel Island ma kont tista, ghax kienu projpieti hlief ghal Inglizi.

Tkunx biased anki taqra li qal Dr.Frendo meta huwa maghruf ghal allejanza mal PN ma qalx li Dr.Cassar kien prezenti. Kieku l-Perit Mintoff ghadu b'sahhtu kien jghamillek libel li l-Bambin jaf kif tohrog minnu, imma sibtu miskin ma jiflahx, ghalhekk qieghed tohrog dan il-gideb fahxi, Rigward Ray Caruana, L-Emeritus ex President Dr.Edward Fenech Adami kien qal li jaf min qatel lil Ray Caruana u lil Karen Grech, dan ben fatt, ghidli ha nsaqsiek, la kien jaf min , kif sal-lum ghadna ma nafux ?

Mhux facli wiehed jifhem dak li qed igerfex Progress, imma nipprova nsib naqra tarf ckejken. Wara li kellu jilghaq l-art u jitlob skuza ghal darba tnejn, Progress irid jaf x'jigi minni l-ex sindku tal-Mosta. Ara r-relazzjoni tieghi ma' dal-proxxmu x'effett jista' jkollha fuq jekk is-Sur James debono ghandux dritt juri l-fehma tieghu! Ghax DAK kien il-bidu tal-argument. Issa billi progress ma wiegeb ebda kumment minn tieghi, jien se nurih jekk hux veru Mintoff dejjem ried jghaqqadna ma' xi hadd. Did-darba mal-faxxisti tal-Mafja. Ikolli nikkwota bl-Ingliz u jekk ma jifhimx jitlob lil Eddyjoyce, li jibza' minni izjed mill-bard ta' Jannar, jittrodicilu hu. The Origins of Maltese Statehood, Frendo, P.333. "Such plans (integration with Italy) had been hibernating in Mintoff's mind ever since 1946 or 1947. This was before the 1947 general election.........After the labour party split in 1949, as a result of which Mintoff ousted Boffa from party leader, there was a conversation between the two Boffist Ministers, Dr Arthur Colombo and Dr Joseph cassar, in the presence of Vivian de Gray.....In the course of the conversation, Mintoff's idea for Malta's integration with Italy had been brought up.........De Gray commented that probably that was when they were expecting the Communist party to come to power in Italy. Histories of Malta, Vol 2, Giovanni Bonello p 243 And here was the leader of the anti italian movement (Mintoff), formally (but secretly) negotiating integration with Italy. The British Commissioner in Malta (during a cocktail party) greeted the Italian consul with a breezy "Hello, Dr Messina, how is integration with Italy going?" Fuq il-bomba li kienet se toqtol lit-Tabib Chetchuti nahseb li the least said, the better Sur Progress. Ara lil Karen qatliha u skond missierha, il-Profs Grech, il-pulizija tar-regim ma tantx jidher li ghamlu l-investigazzjonijiet bis-serjeta. Ara lill-qattiel ta' Raymond Caruana mill-ewwel qabduh il-pulizija. Erhilu li l-Qrati lliberawh! Xamma ta' korruzzjoni, forsi?

Ahna dhalna Fl-Eu b'elezzjoni mirbuha mil PN u anki nammmetti b'referendum, saret b'demokrazijja, Nerik Mizzi sa anki gie eziljat ghax L-inglizi kellom suspett fieh u f'hafna ohrajn li kienu faxxisti, nispicca biex nghidlek tihom parir lil PN biex inehhu l-iswed fuq L-Arma ghax dik tfakkar lil kullhadd il Faxxismu.

Onslaught on Mosta Mosta, the largest locality in this round of elections, is the prize that the PN is trying to gain back at all costs through a targeted media campaign. In the four contests before 2007, the PN had won this election, with majorities varying from 62% in 1998 to just 51% in 2004. But following a focused media campaign directed against former mayor Giovanni De Martino and a tender awarded for the services of a handyman, Labour managed to snatch the Mosta prize in 2007 with a wafer-thin one-seat majority after winning 50.6%. In that election, the PN saw its support in Mosta fall to a historic low of 46%. National Monday 5 March 2012 - 12:22 Malta Today.

Jien qatt ma nhbejt u r-regim lejburista ghamel minn kollox biex isallabni. Izjed hraxt kontra tieghu. Ghalhekk haw hafna li jitwahhxu meta jiftakru x'kalvarju ghaddejna taht ir-regim.

Angli tal-hniena kemm haw min hu stupidu! Titwahhax! Ma tafni assolutament sur progress. Mhux hafna ma tafnix, imma ma tafni xejn. Tibqax turi kemm int stupidu meta titkellem fuq persuna u int tkun qed titkellem fuq ohra. Lili zgur li ma stajtx tarani MarsaxlokK ghax ili snin ma mmur 'l hemm. Bija la rbahtuha u anqas tliftuha l-maggoranza ras. Jien QATT ma kelli ebda poter f'idejja. Jekk trid tifhem, ifhem u jekk le ibqa' ghid il-hmerijiet. Imma l-argument kollu hu dan: JIsta' s-Sur James debono, li jien ma nafux, ixaqleb lejn in-nazzjonalisti? Jaghmel dnub jekk jaghmel hekk? Ara jien NAZZJONALIST PUR, qatt ma nhbejt wara subghajja, batejt ghax nazzjonalist, qlajt transfers u aqra dak li tiktbu intom tal-maskra. L-uniku dnub tieghu hu li jien....nazzjonalist. Anqas temmen Malta tant ckejkna u lili jahsbuni kulhadd barra min verament jien. U WICCI MIKXUF, JIEN, AHSEB U ARA KIEKU NILBES IL-MASKRI BHALHOM! U kemm ghandkom zbalji fil-Malti.

But little did I realise that some of my writings were not going down well with some officials at Tal-Pieta and little by little I was finding myself a persona non grata with the PN media.” The Malta Independent 27.4.2005

We should not rush into the conclusion that the government has failed and teh PM should call an election. The reality is that the Maltese mentality is changing rapidly and Dr Gonzi is the first to face this but definitely not the last. The two party system arose out of two opposing idealogies. Today, we have very narrow differences between the two parties so inevitably it is a question of which management team will do best. Therefore the leader is important and hence the modern way of politics must be to form a coalition of ideas and values between like minded people but not necessarily members of the same party who are sworn to absolute loyalty to the party. Frankly I think what Dr Gonzi is experiencing is the demise of the two party system and its replacement of a coalition of MPs with ideals from liberal to conservative and who appoint a leader and a management team. He can either refuse to lead such a coalition (call an election) or he can turn this in his favour by showing that he can lead and manage a team based on compromise and particpation as long as he has the courage to drop the under-performers or members with ulterior motives from his team.

funnily enough the frustrated lady of wardija has decided not to mention JPO again.. could it be her master ordered this? was this part of the agreements between JO and Gonzo? so she does have a master that instructs her who to target or not..

James, coalitions are not defined by what happens in Europe (assuming what is happening is what you allege). They can be formal or informal. In the political sphere, they can be between parties and between parties and individuals. Any political scientist worth his or her salt can understand this vary basic fact about party politics. Your premise is therefore totally inaccurate.

Sur Giovanni De Martino hares madwarek il partit tieghek , wiehed jikxef hama fuq l-iehor, mhux wiehed izda hafna issa, jekk trid nibda nsemmihomlok , hemm wiehed li joqghod il-Mosta kien johrog maghkom tghidx kemm hu ndannad bli qal siehbek RCC li ghad nisimaw izjed dwaru.

Jahasra ma ghandkomx argumenti! Jien mhux lis-Sur Debono iddefendejt. Anqas biss nafu. Jien ikkritikajt l-arroganza oxxena ta' dawk li jippretendu li hadd ma ghandu dritt ifahhar lill-PN u jikkritika lill-LP. Dik arroganza. Inkixef, qalulna, li hu nazzjonalist! X'imhuh ckejknin. Allura? Tista' jew ma tistax tkun nazzjonalist? L-iehor qal li ahna ga msallbin. U zgur! U mela! Hares madwarek, ara l-lussu bla razan li haw u tkun taf kemm ahna msallbin. AHNA M'HAWX PAJJIZ IEHOR FL-UNIVERS LI HU GAWDUT DAQSNA. F'KULL SENS. DNUB LI L-PL BAQA' JAGIXXI LI JBEZZA' LIN-NIES. Passat tal-wahx u qatt ma l-kap prezenti ma iddissassocja ruhu minnu.

Coalition? I think it is simply political incest, with Gonzi PN trying hard to keep the lid on the cesspit full of escaping noxious odours! After Debono,JPO, Mugliet we now have Dalli deeply hurt and frustrated cause he was attacked in a vicious way by members from his own Party! Mhux xi hadd se ibellali ir-ross bil-labra, li dawn il-bloggers u creepy opinion makers, jagixxu wehidhom u mhux jobdu l-ordni min ghand xi hadd li hu high up, very high up fl-istruttura u l-istrategija ta GonziPN?

Progress I totally agree with you, you hit the nail on the head.

Same old JAMES DEBONO.We know what you are James but pls stop try to covince us that you are not a nationalist.

The LG/JPO loose agreement is not a coalition. A coalition has a legal identity and carries responsibilities that would have been previously outlined. In that assertion you are right. However, you are not correct when you try to belittle Dr Muscat's new movement and lump it with the wrecked PN. It is true that it is based on the foundations of the Labour Party, but it encompasses a lot more diverse ideas that are concerned with common issues and seek solutions within a varied but similar sphere.
avatar
Already according to James Debono , Joseph Muscat is destitute and his leadership is obscure and destined to a failure. He mentions that Joseph Muscat is adopting: based on the feudal loyalty of candidates towards the leader, bypassing his own party by creating a parallel movement of moderates and progressives which lacks structures and democratic checks and balances. James still carry on as usual on every blog you had to undermine Joseph Muscat . It's ok we accept your opinion. Conclusion to your blog according to you in other words its better the devil you know than the devil you do not know. We know what Dr. Gonzi is now and believe me is the worst Prime Minister we have had, no other Leader will be worse than him, for sure.
