					<description><![CDATA[Quote: Lawrence Gonzi, a lawyer, experienced politician and above all, former Speaker of the House, hasn’t committed himself and his party to a free vote for precisely this reason: he wants the Nationalist Party to be able to include divorce legislation in its 2013 electoral programme should it be thought best to do so.

The Nationalist Party can’t pledge divorce if Gonzi does the stupid thing Muscat has done and promise a free vote. I wonder whether Muscat has understood by now just how he has painted himself into the tightest of corners on the single issue he has touted to brand himself as a liberal.Unquote.

Let&#039;s take another scenario.

What happens if the PM doesn&#039;t give a free vote to the PN&#039;s MPs and they would have to vote against it? What will JPO do? He can&#039;t possibly vote against a bill he himself presented.]]></description>

U fl-80s?

Insejt meta kissru l-kurja?

Meta kissru d-dar tal-PM Dr Fenech Adami u werwru l-familja tieghu? Dawn kattolci? U hallina

Il-PN biss m ghandux mibgheda lejn il-proxxmu tieghu, ghax jimxi fuq it-taghlim ta&#039; Kristu. Tal-LP hodor u klieb.

You yourself have first hand experience of the LP.]]></description>

...there are more “traditional Roman Catholics” who support the PL.

Wrong.

Surely you cannot mean this. Remember the 60&#039;s and the 80&#039;s when the LP was at war with the church? No, traditionally, the PN was the party leaning closer to the church.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Confused thinking: the only reason Labour supporters were so upset in the 1960s was because they WERE traditionalist Roman Catholics. If they weren&#039;t, they wouldn&#039;t have given a stuff.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

First of all I&#039;m no whizz kid, but contributors who have that arrow have a website. I also noted that the colour of the font is &#039;light green&#039;.

I clicked on Lou&#039;s name and got his website, clicked on marika mifsud and got a &#039;possibility of a Phishing site warning&#039;. Now I know where to go to fish or get phished.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando has chutzpah, but lacks the experience which comes with the passage of time. Even though - truth be told - he is no longer so young.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - He is not even remotely young, but well into middle age. He and I are same age - more than old enough to be grandparents.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

I actually think the arrow refers to external links.

People that put links in the &quot;website&quot; bar get the arrows. I&#039;m answering Marika here, but I&#039;ll get none.]]></description>

The Referenda Act spells out the *only* way a referendum question can be placed before the electorate and that is *before* a law is enacted.

I have no idea what any &quot;new requirements of the legislator&quot; might be.]]></description>
