Jien nahseb ahjar li il-pn jipprova jhajjar lil tal-Ajkla sabiex jaghmluh leader. Anyway narawkhom fl-ahhar tas-seklu.

I suppose he will define himself as fresh and new blood having had nothing to do with the past! Was he sidelined in 2008 for his performances during the previous legislature?

Just the way to do things. Eject the old guard and bring in the old guard. That's called modernisation.
Christopher Briffa •
The person who could not get himself to leave his parents' home wants to have a shot at running the country. Go figure.

With all those dinosaurs around they should rename the Dar Ċentrali to Jurasic Park.
