In a plot twist that absolutely no one saw coming, Simon Busuttil has made his grand return to Maltese politics. Yes, you read that correctly. The mastermind behind the Nationalist Party’s most spectacular electoral defeat in 2017 is back—and he’s better than ever. Or at least he thinks he is.

Simon Busuttil’s Grand Return – Entertaining As It Is Predictable.
Why settle for a mediocre political comeback when you can have one that’s dripping in irony and sarcasm? After all, Busuttil’s political career is a classic lesson in perseverance—or perhaps stubbornness. His 2017 performance was, by all accounts, a landslide success if you measure success in the speed and size of the defeat.
But fear not, dear citizens of Malta; Busuttil’s return is here to remind us that history does indeed repeat itself. Remember the thrill of watching your favorite disaster movie and hoping, against all logic, that things might turn out differently this time? Well, consider Busuttil’s comeback the blockbuster sequel you didn’t know you needed.
Some might ask why Busuttil would choose to re-enter the political fray after such a historic loss. Is it nostalgia? Unfinished business? A fondness for uphill battles? Theories abound, each more entertaining than the last. Maybe he’s just really committed to filling that niche role of the ‘comeback kid’—emphasis on ‘kid’, because who else would return to a game after losing so spectacularly?
Supporters might argue that everyone loves a good redemption story, but let’s be realistic: those are typically reserved for protagonists who weren’t responsible for shattering the hopes of an entire political party. This isn’t exactly the comeback arc that dreams are made of; it’s more like the revival tour that no one asked for.

But in the spirit of optimism, perhaps Busuttil brings a new strategy to the table—unveiling innovative plans that could revolutionize politics as we know it. Or maybe not. After all, why tamper with a formula when you’ve got such a memorable legacy already?
In conclusion, Simon Busuttil’s return is a testament to the enduring appeal of political theatre. Whether you see it as a comedy, a drama, or a bit of both, one thing is certain: Maltese politics just got a whole lot more interesting. And who knows? With any luck, this sequel might even surpass the original in creative defeat.
