Spitballing at Piano's pigsty

Abstract

I was really starting to believe as true that the new Parliament building would usher in a new way of doing politics in this country. However, never more did the famous Italian saying make so much sense, 'l'abito non fa il monaco'. I so wanted to accept as true that even though they were the same cluster of politicians adorning the new Parliament chamber they would realise that the €80 million or so gift that the Maltese people have so generously granted to our Representatives should go beyond providing for an improved setting and was intended to marshal in a novel political climate.
