Councillor's resignation

In Rene Rossignaud's recent resignation from his position as local councillor, one of the reasons cited was that the AD is poaching votes from the PN.

To have an aspiring, young politician, in this day and age, publicly stating that he believes that votes belong to a particular political party is unbelievable. I suggest that Mr Rossignaud realises that in a true, democratic society, votes belong to the individual voter and not to any particular party.

Mr Rossignaud goes on to claim that AD is only interested in obtaining power at all costs. I am sure that, since vote chasing bothers him so much, he does not think that the Nationalist government has the same agenda as his former party. I am sure that GonziPN regaling us with a new promise every other day, has nothing to do with the vote catching that so bothers the conscientious Mr Rossignaud.

Mr Rossignaud's other statement, that a vote for Alternattiva would aid a Labour government in sepa-rating Malta from the EU he believes in so much, despite the Labour Party's many public denials, shows his coincidental compliance with the Nationalist Party's constant, paranoiac attacks on the Labour party.

How Mr Rossignaud tries to portray himself as someone of high principles, and then allows himself to be used in such a way by the Nationalist Party's pro-poganda machine, is mind boggling to say the least.
