Hi Adrian – welcome to Bis-Serjetà headquarters. Thanks for agreeing to this interview. Before we start, would you mind changing seats? It’s just that I usually sit there.
No.
What do you mean, no?
I will not move.
But I was going to sit in that chair. You can see my Bis-Serjetà mug is placed in front of it, as are my notepad, pen, and voice recorder. And it has ‘Bis-Serjetà God-Editor’ written on the back. It would just be so much easier if you could move to the chair opposite, or any other chair you like, really.
I was democratically elected by thousands of PN members, and I would be doing them a disservice if I were to give in to your demands.
Yes but that’s in your capacity as PN leader. You winning the support of 52% of party members back in 2017 doesn’t mean you can sit in someone else’s chair even when it’s clear they don’t want you to sit there anymore. In fact, surveys show that 100% of the people in this room who aren’t you want you to get off my chair.
I don’t believe in surveys.
You mean you don’t think they’re accurate?
No – I don’t think they exist at all, like the tooth fairy. Think about it, has anyone from The Times or Maltatoday ever asked you a survey question?
Please move.
Tesserati.
You know you can’t use the tesserati to justify every bad decision you make, right?
It’s working well for me so far.
Don’t you think your refusal to switch chairs is distracting from more important issues?
I think you’ll find it’s you who’s distracting, Karl. I just want to sit here because it is my democratic right to do so, and definitely not because I found a 10 euro note.
Wait, are you refusing to move because you’re sat on my 10 euro note?
No! Whatever gave you that idea?
And why did you bring a suitcase?
I was hoping I could stay with you for a bit.
Get out.
Tesserati.
