Oddtments and questions

Abstract

‘No circumstance will convince me to contest another election’. This is what Prime Minister Joseph Muscat had declared just one year ago. I heard from the rumour mill that this statement he had made during my radio show Ghandi xi Nghid had put the Office of the Prime Minister and the ‘Fourth Floor’ in meltdown. I got my own, ‘madonna x’ ghamiltilna’ comments directed at me when I had asked the question and elicited this reply from the Prime Minister. The question that comes to mind is: What will be the state of the Labour Party once he is gone? I reiterate that though the PL is working tirelessly to try and limit the damage when Joseph Muscat is gone they will still have to deal with a big dent. The truth of the matter is that Joseph Muscat has grown so much in stature that he is now bigger than the Party. Who knows, maybe a long shot, but could this be an opportunity for the PN? [excerpt]
