It&#039;s a serious blunder on their part. 

It&#039;s an admission that the team in goverment is doing a much better job of handling the crisis than they ever could. 

And an admission that this is considered fact by most Maltese. After all, experience in government isn&#039;t their forte. 

Better ignore it then, as it could cost them votes.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;...Labour’s think-tank Fondazzjoni IDEAT actually believes the European economic crisis is over, instead of about to get worse....&quot;

Oh come on... They are planning 10 years ahead, when the economic crisis will finally be over.

The problem is, who in Labour is thinking about the current worsening of the crisis?]]></description>

Yes, it is truly sad in this country.

Other countries kicked Socialist governments out after having ruined their economies. Yet, here we are about to have our own brand of Socialist governance.

Canada, as an example, had a weak Conservative minority government for a number of years, surviving only with common sense cooperation of the Opposition. The same government won a substantial majority because it so happens that this government was responsible for a much more resilient economy than the rest of the G20. One can draw a parallel here since Malta&#039;s economic situation is quite similar. 

Yet, we are about to embark on uncertainty and leaving the economy in the hands of amateurs an in the hands of ones who could never get one right.

We spend one million euro a day for Education.  Huge mistake according to Franco Debono.  Education, clearly, should stop at Form II(c).

We owe all this progress to the one and only Franco Debono.  One of his many (he says) successful achievements. What an achievement!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When I read, in the survey published by The Sunday Times, that the price of utility bills is not an electoral issue I was a little surprised, since I found this conflicting with the three-year-long PL crusade on the subject.

To try and settle this conflict, I made that the subject of discussion with two Labour friends over lunch. It turns out to be correct, not because PL voters do not care if utility prices go down, but because they consider it as a given. 

One went as far as saying that they will be reversed to 2008 rates.]]></description>
