In fact I remember my grandfather telling how when Mr. Hassan (as he then was) joined Albert Risso's AACR in the early 40s the general comment was "Quien es este Hassan". Yesterday's non-entities are tomorrow's "entities" so let us give everyone who stands for election in November a chance. Let us listen to what they have to say, quiz them thoroughly and investigate their backgrounds and histories so that we elect the best people.

Caruana made him his deputy because after having had to deal with a Big Beast like Peter Montegriffo Caruana needed a mouse. What is Keith known to have done during his 8 years in government? If Keith lets on that he will rejoin the GSD the PDP's vote will evaporate. Also you lovely people obviously know who Rafael Benzaquen, Luis Momtegriffo, Isobel Ellul, Selwyn Figeras and Damian Bossino are but I don't and neither do any of my friends. With an election a matter of weeks ago should n't these hidden giants of Gib politics make themselves known as Robert Vasquez wisely suggests? I agree that the GSLP line up of old codgers is dire but at least Joe Cortes, Nobby Borge and George Mascarenhas are all well know in town.

I would therefore be very surprised if he were not trying to broker a deal behind the scenes to try and secure that extra 3% via an alliance, merger or other sort of deal which could make all the difference, even though he knows that Keith will strike a hard bargain. Yes, Keith and Nick's PDP will agree to 'merge' with the GSD, just as Labour did before them; but Peter must pledge to hand over the leadership of the merged party to Keith half-way through the next term. And Keith will insist on having that pledge in writing. No Granita pact. Even with the extra 3-4% Peter could still lose but it has to be worth the gamble if he really wants to stay in power. <br /><br />Orig GianniGianninoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247742529089642474.post-70943191122090746862011-09-25T14:06:49.210+02:002011-09-25T14:06:49.210+02:0013.03: "Rafael Benzaquen, Luis Momtegriffo, I...13.03: "Rafael Benzaquen, Luis Momtegriffo, Isobel Ellul, Selwyn Figeras..."sounds like PDP light although I agree that Damon (for that is his real name) Bossino has excellent prospects.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247742529089642474.post-46484039875353764912011-09-25T14:01:52.452+02:002011-09-25T14:01:52.452+02:00Anon@13.48 I agree, the future of the GSD is Rafae...Anon@13.48 I agree, the future of the GSD is Rafael Benzaquen with Luis Montegriffo of power to the people fame as his deputy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247742529089642474.post-40566172767589829102011-09-25T13:53:39.327+02:002011-09-25T13:53:39.327+02:00With all due respect to the others, Isobel Ellul-H...With all due respect to the others, Isobel Ellul-Hammond is the only name in that lineup that's going to be catching any votes.<br /><br />I imagine that’s going to be the case as long as the others allow themselves to kowtow to our glorious leader who’s seemingly unprecedented unpopularity is surely going to cost the GSD this election (in addition to the cack-handed manner in which the party as a whole has handled the propaganda side of their campaign).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247742529089642474.post-38313055746886950592011-09-25T13:48:54.841+02:002011-09-25T13:48:54.841+02:00Anon@13:04
