Ed Milliband - groomed to serve, raised to obey, refined for taste...

That&#039;s because Eddie Fenech Adami himself comes from a better background than Joseph Muscat.  It is only people of a particular background who thinks that somebody is the bee&#039;s knees simply because of WHAT they are, rather than WHO they are.  The latter is probably one such person.]]></description>

No he wouldn&#039;t. Getting into power, and staying there, has become the one and only obsession of the Labour Party. This time round, they&#039;ll make sure they&#039;ll serve the full five years.]]></description>

They may aspire to be High Class, but they haven&#039;t got &lt;em&gt;any&lt;/em&gt; class. Our next prime minister and his &#039;din&#039; are just two Burberry chavs.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;em&gt;&quot;I’m beginning to realise that he’s been a secret Mintuffjan for all these years..&quot;
&lt;/em&gt;
It seems to me that while Joseph Muscat has been reconciling the party with the old guard, the ideology of that old guard is now starting to prevail.

Probably it was that old guard that pushed him to pay three or more visits to no one less than the Salvatur himself while at Mater Dei.  Or else he wanted to please them.

We are now seeing signs of a return to the INSTINCTS of the Labour working class - political hate, class jealousy, the wish for wealth redistribution (call it living wage), and what I believe are threats of physical violence as posted on this blog.

As Joseph surrounds himself  with the old Mintoffjani, their old socialist views are taking over.

And I suppose many of them must be pouring out their venom about the years of Alfred Sant.

No wonder Joseph Muscat is suggesting that his party must become a &#039;movement&#039; - as it was in the Mintoff days.

I wonder how Sant can look on while his project of cleaning the party from the old and projecting a modern image vanishes into smoke in the glass building at Hamrun.

I wonder how he sleeps at night at the thought that the ones he &quot;successfully&quot; removed from the party have now returned, and that those who wrote against him are now taking over the party machine, while the ones he bred have been moved to the side.

Alfred Sant still holds a seat in Parliament.  He may still hold a Parliamentary seat in 2013, when it may be possible that Labour is elected to government.

Would Alfred Sant do a &quot;Mintoff bis&quot; to his own party in government, calling Joseph Muscat a &quot;Traditur&quot;?

History repeats itself.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When Joseph and Michelle cruised on the Splendida they stayed in the Royal Club, which is the equivalent of first class.

The crew were told - no prizes for guessing by who - that they should be treated with care because he is the next prime minister. The crew were not impressed.

I find the prospect of his being prime minister to be frightening. A not-so-bright man with a little power is dangerous, so just imagine what a not-so-bright man can do with a lot of power and full control of the country (but no control of his party).]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I really dislike when commentators, even when so minutely, link the English Labour Party with Partit Laburista. No person within the latter have any intellectual credentials to stand even remotely near the toes of the Milliband brothers or any other.
I find that inspite of all the woes that the party in government is presently experiencing I could not give Partit Laburista my floating vote if elections were to be held tomorrow. It would be just sheer irresponsibility on my part.]]></description>
