Abstract: | It would be, to say the least, simplistic if we had to try and evaluate what brought about this massive meltdown of the Nationalist Party in 2,000 words. However, it is safe to state that the margin of difference we are looking at is not only the blunder of Dr Simon Busuttil, who took the principled position and shouldered the responsibility. It was also honourable that the rest of the Party Administration took the bow. However, I wouldn’t stop there. I think the Administration should sit for a ‘public’ hearing in front of the party members and answer to their failures. Because this is what is essentially wrong in our political scenario - no one takes any responsibility – they stand happily on the podium when the tide is out but just disappear when it starts getting messy, shambolic and muddled.
