					<description><![CDATA[Why is Joseph Muscat saying that &quot;It had also made proposals on reducing the electricity tariffs clearly, transparently and sustainably&quot; when Anglu Farrugia and Karmenu Vella had no idea what proposals Labour is making?

					<description><![CDATA[&#039;However, it would be irresponsible fo him to provide figures now as they would need constant revision.&#039;

Are we to understand that his method will provide a constant variation in tariffs? 

Not really the best method for companies calculating their costs is it?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Daphne, the MLP&#039;s delegates voted for Joseph Muscat, Anglu Farrugia and Toni Abela because they had quietly promised that once elected they would pull Malta out of the EU. 

Obviously, as we have seen so far, for the Labour delegates the criteria for the leadership was not about who would be a better statesman or who would be the better leader to raise our standard of living.
