Jekk tassew irridu nattiraw l-aqwa persuni biex imexxu 'l pajjiż jeħtiġilna nirrevedu l-mekkaniżmu li jħallas lill-politiċi. Irridu politiċi aktar kontabbli u responsabbli, u għalhekk nagħtu pakkett diċenti. Fl-istess ħin irridu nsibu diversi modi kif innaqqsu l-prerogattivi tal-Prim Ministru, ċertu ħatriet isiru mhux biss mill-Parlament iżda b'suġġerimenti ta' persuni kompetenti.

I Agree. Currently, ministers and other servants of the state receive quite a mediocre pay for such a demanding job.
