A Nationalist MP is embarking on a campaign to ensure viewers can watch unrestricted football on television without the need to subscribe to two operators.

David Agius contends that an exclusive agreement should not prevent a TV company which owns the rights from selling content to its competitor.

No Nationalist MP would do anything to bring the government down, party whip David Agius says in an interview today.

"We don't agree on everything... but the idea that someone is plotting to bring the government down is a fairy tale," Mr Agius tells The Sunday Times.

Every MP on the government benches is now working enthusiastically, especially after the Prime Minister appointed a number of parliamentary assistants to give a helping hand to each of the ministries, Mr Agus says.

Mr Agius speaks in detail about the recent parliamentary squabbles, and proposes that Malta adopts the ‘door system' way of voting used in the UK's House of Commons, where MPs walk through a door according to their voting intentions, avoiding the lapsus of saying 'yes' instead of 'no' or vice versa.

When the 2008 general election loomed, the mood of former Attard councillor David Agius was far from buoyant.

Just two weeks before polling day, Mr Agius filed a police report claiming he was being blackmailed by a Labour convert who threatened to expose his conduct during a university examination if he didn't cross the floor in Parliament.
