George Abela got 291 votes out of 865. In other words, 33.6% of the Labour Party delegates who voted wanted someone who hasn't been a part of Labour for a decade to become their new leader.
The least Joseph Muscat could do for all those delegates is offer this man an important post within MLP. Will he? Or will he offer Abela a token position with which Abela won't be able to rock the boat?
It is easy to speak about unifying MLP. It is easy to have your picture taken while you hug those who didn't back your leadership campaign.
But actually unifying the party won't be easy, especially when Muscat's friends within the party don't want this to happen. Joe Debono Grech knows this and resigned, even though he was the prime candidate to take over Joseph Muscat's MEP seat. [That would have been scary]
If Muscat fails at uniting his party, the people won't trust him to run the country.
