					<description><![CDATA[Europarl / Kevin Ellul Bonici: It&#039;s the natural flipside of the same question, actually.

Tell me, is the non-sequitur a weapon normally used by caped crusaders or are you in civvies and tripping on acid when you visit this blog?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Europarl / Kevin Ellul Bonici: I thought you knew all about irony. If I were in Tibet, I&#039;d wouldn&#039;t be too troubled by the machinations of the MLP as there would be the small matter of human rights violation to consider.

Let me rephrase my question. Since Sharon Ellul Bonici&#039;s position is totally at odds with the MLP&#039;s, why does she persist in trying to represent the MLP rather than starting her own party?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Corinne,

Are you serious? You&#039;re asking &quot;Why does the MLP want Sharon Ellul Bonici out of the way?&quot;

(now I understand why your &quot;replies&quot; to me seem like coming out of Tibet...)

But hasn&#039;t Jason told you: &quot;ghax ewroxettika&quot;?

The official judgement from the Court of the Three Wise Men is that Sharon&#039;s principles on the EU go against the Party&#039;s &quot;principles&quot;.

Meaning: SEB is critical of the soviet development of the EU, whereas MLP want to look like goody-goody Yes-men - they want to emulate the Gonzi clan. So they now kind of see it the way you do. You should be proud of the lot.

Besides, their mentors in the EP (the PES) would highly disapprove of Labour criticising the emergence of the new EU. So they prefer not to see any warts (there&#039;s some good medicine for this - and it works, after some time you see no more warts: it&#039;s called &#039;political expediency&#039;).

I mean just look at the greatest convert of them all: George of the Bungle Vella! Now that&#039;s a puLiTiKant - a walking study in political expediency.
