A Labour government would strengthen the stipend systemIt's an interesting article for various reasons, I would say.
The Labour Party said today that the Prime Minister is being politically dishonest and resorting to the politics on the past when he spreads the lie that a Labour government would remove or reduce the stipends of university, MCAST, ITS and sixth form students.
Labour leader Joseph Muscat has insisted time and again the stipend system for students would not only be maintained but strengthened.
The Labour Party says that today there is no more place for this politics of the past using fear and lies. “Gonzipn is clinging on to power and is stuck in the past.” (Original Article)
The first question that comes to mind when reading it is: How? How exactly would the stipends be strengthened Mr. Muscat?
This is a general feeling about the Labour Party which is unsettling. It seems that they are taking the word Opposition too literally. They seem to be obsessed with solely opposing the PN no matter what. I do agree that the stipend system needs to be revised, but if you want my vote, you have to tell me how. It's not the first time they did this, in fact. They have rambled on and on how a Labour government would reduce the electricity bills, but stopping short of saying how. This led to this infamous Anglu Farrugia interview on Bondi+:
Now, let's face it, Anglu Farrugia isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. He would be a genius if he was a plant, but he's not. In fact he's the deputy leader of a political party who's aiming at leading Malta starting from next year.
