Alternattiva Demokratika – The Green Party (AD) urged people to go out to vote in the divorce referendum on 28th May.
Michael Briguglio, AD Chairperson, said that, “AD is confident that the referendum can be won, if people stand up and be counted. We strongly appeal those who are in favour of the introduction of divorce to vote Yes in the referendum. Abstention from voting can play in the hands of the fundamentalists who want Malta to remain without this basic civil right. We also appeal to those who do not agree with divorce but do not want to prohibit others from this right to vote yes in the referendum. Those who want to deny divorce to the thousands who need this civil right should not be allowed to win.”
Yvonne Arqueros Ebejer, AD Deputy Chairperson and Spokesperson for Civil Rights said that, “one should vote yes because adults have a right to make their own decisions about whether they want to stay single, to remarry or to cohabit with their new partner once their previous marriage has irrevocably failed. Divorce is a civil right which is being denied to a number of people who are not in a position to obtain it from abroad. Malta is the only country in the world where divorce is not granted by the courts but where divorce obtained from many other countries is recognised by the state.”
Prof. Arnold Cassola, AD Spokesperson on EU and International Affairs, said that, “Alternattiva Demokratika is asking the Maltese people to live up to the motto of the European Union that we joined in 2004, i.e. ‘United in diversity’. People might have different beliefs but we should be tolerant of the beliefs of others, even if they are different from ours. Voting ‘YES’ at the referendum will also be a respectful sign of tolerance of those who do not necessarily share your beliefs, but who are in need of your help to be able to start afresh in life.”
We as Maltese are supposed to Roman Catholics and we inherited the Moses estate which are the 10 COMMANDMENTS, AND #9 is the one that tells us to leave the opposite sex alone when you become a married person,or you have committed a sin for enticing one of the opposite to break the promise that you have made you promised to your spouse that you will honour and obey for better and for worse.
So you better honour that # 9, because that what happened to SODDOMA & GOMORRA WE WILL BECOME A SALTED PERSON!!!!!!!CRACKER & to much salt raise your blood pressure, just watch it and do not go to HELL.

The Sixties have a long time gone.
Remember when we were told that if we gave away property or sums of money on our dying bed we would go to heaven even though that would leave our family in terrible situations and struggling to survive?
