					<description><![CDATA[@pietru Pawl - where on earth did you get that idea that married people pay less taxes?  A married man with four children gets a tax rebate of just LM4000 per year for a family of 6, whilst single persons get Lm3500 rebate.  If you had said that married persons both working with no kids get more tax benefits I would agree since they get double the allowance of a family of 6 with one bread winner.  But that only means that the law is an arse as family is considered as excess baggage to the government and is not given the real deal.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Oh come on people, we all know marriage is just another excuse to party...or pay less taxes...so what&#039;s the point of having this debate anyway.

I&#039;d rather see politicians focus their efforts on more pressing issues like childcare, or what happens to the children of divorcees, or separated parents.

People seem to be ignoring the fact that most &#039;Problem Kids&#039; are coming from irresponsible parents who go around spawning without realising that they are just contributing to the country&#039;s growing ignorance quota.

People are so consumed with wanting to have the &#039;option&#039; of divorcing, when they should just revisit the whole idea of marriage in the first place.

If you do not want commitment and responsibility, then DON&#039;T get married.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Daphne, I was never as patient as you are even when I was your age.  Keep it up.

This is common sense.  You do not need to be an authority on Hansard to understand this.

If a PM feels constrained to present a private member&#039;s bill he will first submit his resignation as head of government and party leader and go home.

Then, when the ensuing rumpus is over, he will go back to the house and present his bill.

Only Joey would contemplate doing otherwise  because he is a twerp.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Ms Abrahams is, in reality, a student, not a Guardian journalist, and this appears to be her first article (looking at her article history will reveal that).

She writes for The Journal, which is an Edinburgh-based fortnightly student tabloid.

It&#039;s a pity, this article doesn&#039;t do any justice to students or journalists, much less to the Maltese.]]></description>

The cheek of some commentators! They accuse us of being a theocracy when their queen is head of the Church of England and the state subsidises the church.
