Gonzi voting ‘No’ on divorce law, Arrigo reportedly dissatisfied with lack of party unity

Seems like this pantomime will have to go on for some more time; and thus offer more surprises! Proves that after all my decision to invalidate my vote was the right one, because I had presumed that whatever the people democratically decided in the referendum, the final decision had to be taken by our distinguished representatives.....they are the experts, not us common souls!!!

Gonzi kien qal li kemm idum huwa id-divorzju zgur ma jidholx. Issa qal li r-rieda tal-maggoranza trid titwetaq. Din U turn jew O = roundabout. Iggudikawni fuq dak li naghmel mhux dak li nighd. Hahahahahahahahahaha Ghal gol-hjat.com Halliena Wenz

Prosit Arrigo, you unveiled the stratagem your Party will be adopting in Parilaiement when the second reading and the 3rd reading will be taken. No friends!.... mathematically it is not sure that there is a majority infavour of divorce.....so far only pronouncements have been made! Watch it Yes Movement, the GonziPn is all out there to outmanouvre the people's will! Perhaps unwittingly Arrigo has disclosed what the PM will be doing.....shame. As no ordinary MP he should lead by example and ask to be the first to declare his vote, and vote yes as a Prime Minister of a people who have exercised their sovreignity in the affirmative! Is he the real capo or is he playing second fiddle to someone else?! If you feel uncomfortable with your consience resign or call an election!

Isn't the Prime Minister contradicting himself. He says that the Will of the People is to be honoured (and this will only happen with a YES vote) and now it has come to light that he is voting NO. What a leadership and example he is for the parlamentarians under his wings. Shame Shame Shame. Does he care for the Will of the People??

Sur Robert, jekk trid tkun makkjaveljan ivvota le u halli lil ta' warajk jinkwetaw.

The forces that keep Malta and the church tied in a knot are very deep and very subtle. They’re imperceptible to most people. See http://www.sherryshriner.com/malta.htm. ... Needless to say, intelligent people read what they read with careful discernment. That goes for the website as well. The world is full of deliberate untruths - but if what you read seems to resonate with your perceptions ... well ... ... By the way, this does NOT mean these dark forces will prevail. They shan't.

By the way gonzi's actions are dictated from the Vatican, like his compatriote EFA, that is why the latter is foaming at the mouth as without a seta in parliament he cnnot carry out his master's dictates.

Mr Arrigo as a president of a local football club was a no nonesense man, it is a pity he can't find it easy to take the right step and vote as the electorate dictated. You hail from Sliema and Sliema had a majority YES vote therefore you are bound to respect that choice and forget the PM conscience, he lost it a long time ago.

When an MP HAS to ask his prime minister how to vote, he is obviously incapable of carrying out the job of representing his constituency and should resign his post and pass on the responsibility to someone who is capable of making their own decisions. Remember this man's name when the next elections are held as one who cannot make his own decisions.

Why dies it remind me of Sandi Shaw's "Puppet on a string"?

Sur Robert, Tlett toroq facli ghandek quddiemek....L-ewwel...ghamel " SICK " u ibqa id dar.........jew.... It tieni ....ghamel " LAPSUS " tafu kif........ jew.. It Tielet.... Ohrog ta ragel mal konstitwenti li tellawk min zewg distretti u ivvota kif ivvutaw il maggoranza ( specjalment tas Sliema min fejn gej int ) jigifieri........ Ivvota " IVA ". u Imbaghad jekk thoss il kuxjenza tnigzek....xejn tikkonfondi...mur qerr...u jinhafirlek kollox.

The conscience of many of the PN MPs was not formed on the way to Emmaus but on a cynical assessment of how it will affect their chances in the coming general election. So I suggest that the PN parliamentary group agree on the few truly and genuinely suffering a Christian conscience crisis . Indeed all MPs must know of the few amongst them who lead a truly exemplary Christian life for whom going against the church precepts is inconceivable. The rest should have their name put in a hat and once a quota of allowable Noes and abstentions have been set the luck of the draw should decide those allowed to exercise the prerogative of a conscience of convenience. As regards people like JPO and other PN members who will anyway vote Yes on democratic principles if their name is drawn they could always trade their right for other favors.

Mela mhux skond il kuxxjenza se jivvutaw tal PN?

Attent Robert ghax jinqdew bik imbaghad jarmuk bhal ma ghamlu fl-elezzjoni!! Tlajt minn zewg distretti u lanqas biss ikkalkulak imbaghad biex jaghlaqlek halqek tak il-kariga ta Assistent Parlamentari!

Reading articles like this, confirms to me that there is nothing to do with conscience at all in this issue. It's just another mind game between PN MPs, and some of them really don't want to risk anything, because of their costituency. I feel so sad and sorry for the present state of 'GONZI PN'. I'm sure when election time comes, there will be many who would be relieved, even MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT!

.... and a request to have a photographer in the House has not yet been accepted because of the possibilty of MPs being influenced by the cameraman when voting. Are these MPs voting for or against because they formed an opinion or according to what others MPs do?

Did the divorce referendum also change the alphabet? If it did not then Arrigo would still come after Agius - and there are two of those!

Gonzi: Referendum result must be respected. Eddie Fenech Adami: Vote against/Postpone divorce until after election. Is EFA aware of what's he's doing to GonziPN or what? http://mazzun.wordpress.com/2011/06/15/eddie-bhal-duminku-u-l-istorja-tirrepeti-ruhha-xi-ftit/

I thought he was worried because it was a matter of principles! The PN never ceases to amaze me.
