‘Gonzi should have resigned in wake of divorce referendum’ – Joe Cassar
Former Nationalist MP Joe Cassar says MPs and Prime Minister who voted against divorce in parliament against voters’ wishes should have resigned.
Former Nationalist MP and retired magistrate Joe Cassar says: "If you do not respect the referendum, just get up and leave. Democracy involves ethics. They are not respecting the Maltese people."
Former Nationalist MP and retired magistrate Joe Cassar said that Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi and other MPs who voted against divorce in parliament did so against the clear mandate expressed by the people in the May referendum and consequently should have resigned.
Cassar said all MPs, including Gonzi, who voted against divorce, should have sent their letter of resignation to the Speaker of the House.
Cassar was adamant that the referendum should have been respected and MPs who did vote against divorce in parliament ultimately did not respect the electorate.
Referring to recent internal problems within the Nationalist Party, Cassar said that cracks were starting to show within the party.
The current PN media blitz about episodes of political violence in the 1980’s does not make any sense according to Cassar.
Cassar also warned the Nationalist Party that starting an electoral campaign too early might backfire as the party might “run out of breath”.

Dictators don't resign!

Gonzi had said that he will respect the will of the majority, but he did his best - though his best was not good enough - so that he could impose his own will on the majority by voting against the Divorce bill when the referendum showed a clear majority in favour. Who does he think he wants to fool? He did not respect the will of the majority - it was the majority that imposed its will on Gonzi. He had no alternative. And i agree with Dr Cassar. The lot who voted against should have resigned.

Dr Gonzi will not resign. It will be the electorate who will be doing him the honours and boot him out of office. No amount of exaggerations and incumbency will save him from the coming downfall. And treating the Maltese as morons is only aiding the momentum of his fall.
•
Yes I agree with you Dr Joe Cassar that Dr Lawrence Gonzi and the other members that vote against the will of the MAGGORANZA should have resigned but what do you think about that 600 ewros extra that the Prime Dr lawrence Gonzi and the other members r having should they have the COURAGE 2 RESIGN

I totally agree with Dr. Joe Cassar, because he knows what he's talking about. Reviving the political violence of the 80's is a very big mistake, and along with the hefty rise in the water & elecricity bills, the Euro500 wage increase to the cabinet, the power station tender (where the parameters where lowered to accomodate a certain company), along with the way that the PN handled the divorce issue, are going to cost the PN very dearly.We must also remember how certain persons in the inner circle of the prime minister, treated in a very disgusting way Mr. John Dalli. Just a FASCIST way to make it simple. The present government needs the same PN preaching about democracy that was used during the 80's! It very shameful how the ethics and moral values are continuosly being breached.
•
I do not agree with Dr Cassar. The PM has promised that the will of the majority will be respected. He did not say that if the majority voted for divorce he will do likewise. The will of the majority has been respected, as divorce has been introduced in Malta.
•
It is clear now that a large number of PN supporters are not happy that their party has been turned into gonziPN with a leader that couldn't careless about the what the people want. Joe Cassar has clearly shown that it is unacceptable to go against thepeople's wishes and still remain at the helm...........
PN is DEAD........gonziPN rules
