From my article in The Sunday Times today: "It helps to understand why we got to have a European Parliament and European elections in the first place.

Continues from yesterday's article on 'the Maltese Enlightenment'. Displacing Labour is no easy task. Rather, these socialist parties self-destruct as a result of hubristic economic mismanagement. In Dom Mintoff’s bleak republic, he indulged in strident social engineering but was ultimately thwarted in his objective of a one-party state by the strong leadership of the Nationalist [...]

This is from Joe Bloggs under my earlier post on the Panama Gang's decision not to appeal the inquiry started by Magistrate Charmaine Galea into the Panama Papers and 17 Black.

Continues from yesterday's guest article on 'Mintoffianism and Muscatism: Labour's twisted theology in practice'. The Nationalists under Eddie Fenech Adami inherited a broken impoverished country which they painstakingly rehabilitated to almost first world status despite fierce opposition from Labour.
