					<description><![CDATA[What I personally fear the most about Labour being in government (apart from their past; yet being too young to experience it first hand does make it seem &quot;less-real&quot; when compared to those who have lived through it), is how it seems that PL is not even a political party to being within. 

They speak of instability yet when listening to their &quot;prospective ministers&quot;  individually, it becomes clear that some are on different wavelengths. 

I have come to the conclusion that PL is a group of different tribes with different ideas of what it means to be &quot;Labour&quot;. 

There are the &quot;Mintuffjani&quot;, the more recent &quot;Old Labour&quot;, and the new &quot;Liberal&quot; labour (for those thick enough to fall for it) . 

There could be many more conceptions of it, but from what I gather, the very idea of the political party (what it stands for and whom it represents) is constantly being redefined by Mr. Muscat in a way that shows deep insecurity as to how to deal with present events and the present Maltese society. 

Muscat makes his &quot;party&quot; seem like a cure to instability, but he&#039;s doing what he&#039;s expected to do: sell his party with buzz words and generalized statements to the masses (he claims to be a politician after all).]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Eagerly awaiting, the elderly &#039;Professor&#039; Scicluna&#039;s response. Fitch&#039;s economists and analysts, although so mewhat younger and up to date with respect to recent economic research and theory, are not politcally biased, 

Does anyone know at which University he received his &#039;Doctorate&#039;, and when?  Quite important, when one ascertains credibility.

					<description><![CDATA[Up to a year ago, joseph Muscat used to say that he wants to model Malta’s economy on that of Cyprus. 

He used to present / quote various statistics from Cyprus and compare them to Maltese statistics, while he barely mentioned the relevant data and the one that counted.

Now, he barely mentions Cyprus, given that it is graded one notch above junk (which means that international lenders judge that the economic policies are not credible at all).

Not only does the MLP did not come out with a single policy, but they also glorify those policies that drive countries into bankruptcy.

Joseph Muscat has no experience in business or any productive work, and his repeatedly wrong judgment proves that he has no skills whatsoever in the areas that matter in order to be PM material.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I simply tremble at the thought that in 400 days&#039; time I might have a 38 year old &#039;kid&#039; as my prime minister.

Anybody wants to know why?

I am a 1967 baby.

I lived through the glorious years of Deserta, Catch, strike tal-linja, inkeccu l-Blue Sisters, indhil barrani, SMU, 20 punt, ma ghandniex bzonn partiti f&#039;Malta ghax ghandna l-Labour (the words of wisdom prize in 1983 by KMB), cintorini issikkati.... and the list goes on.

The wannabe PM  is talking about the glorious Mintoff, is-salvatur ta&#039; Malta, il-font imbierek tal-gherf.

I think he is speaking like that about Mintoff simply because he was too young to remember the reality as it was.  He was too mollycodled to remember the harsh brutality of those years.

And no, time has not healed the wasted years that these were.

While Socialism is good on paper, it is put in place by imbeciles for the benefit of lazy layabouts, so that the wise guys get richer quicker.

When will we ever learn?]]></description>
