					<description><![CDATA[Our PN , and our PM, have an a la carte morality.

They strongly opposed divurce, as if they were defenders of the faith.

They tell us nothing about the hundreds of thousands of euro pocketed by the government through payments to porno sites where payment is routed through Malta.

Anything to make a quick buck.]]></description>

Beats me Daph, what is it? I never was good at riddles.

Oh, and you know another thing that beats me? Not why Lou Bondi does what he does, as it&#039;s only natural that a political fundamentalist  acts like, well, a fundamentalist. What really puzzles me is that it has become an accepted norm that every single year he casually gets his politically biased message across through none other than a government platform which is shockingly akin to, say, having your articles published in the Malta Government Gazette.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - And do you know what beats me? That people like you are so blinded by petty hatreds and bias that you are unable to see the bloody obvious: that messages and politicians sell themselves and that you can have no &#039;balance&#039; between two parties that are completely unequal. If, say, an incoherent Labour politician comes on to say that we should vote against EU accession and that we&#039;re going to be invaded by hairdressers from Catania, and a well-briefed Nationalist politician comes on to say that EU membership will be terrific for Malta and free us to roam and work all over Europe, then whose fault is it if Labour&#039;s message fails? Lou Bondi&#039;s? Mine? Xarabank&#039;s? Get a grip. The No campaign in this particular referendum should have told you what you need to know (I know it already because I work in communications): it had the support of the government, the Nationalist Party, the Catholic Church and some very prominent and influential pillars of society, and a seemingly bottomless war-chest, but still it failed. Why? Because its message was wrong. People didn&#039;t want what it was selling. Simple as that.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We need a new plan:
To settle this voting issue we should have a new referendum to decide if last Saturday&#039;s referendum was binding or not. The probable outcome should be a whopping YES! The only fault in this plan is that the result would still have to face our undemocratic MPs.
