They&#039;ll never get the difference between western style politics and realsocialist social engineering. 

They think that by simply providing anodyne, wishy washy terminology, the electorate cannot elaborate the implications. 

I wouldn&#039;t mind it that much if they had a history of being the left within the western bloc, problem is, they&#039;re hardliners when it comes to basic notions of free speech, market economics and respect of stakeholders.   

Joseph mumbled something to that effect initially. He&#039;s utterly lost nowadays, the honeymoon over. One nearly senses his discomfort having to give in to the old and familiar to keep a sembiance of leadership. Not to mention a crumbling advantage. . 

His mantra, how fed up we are, has become an irony of sorts.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;...meta qabel kienet tahdem aktar u timxi aktar &#039;il quddiem&quot;. 

When was this exactly? Under the previous PN Administrations?  Certainly not during the &quot;Golden Years&quot;. It is good to see that Joseph Muscat is acknowledging that life under the PN was not so bad after all. 

We cannot expect him to say that for life today can we? I mean, with all these people not going out, not buying things, all the empty shops and empty roads. But for yesteryear he can say it. After all, for once, he&#039;s just telling the truth. 

IN a couple of years&#039; time he&#039;ll be free and telling the truth of saying exactly the same thing for today. However, we&#039;ll also be eligible (though probably not free) to say the same things he&#039;s saying today to describe our plight of the day should he be elected.

So let&#039;s vote with our heads not with somewhere else.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I love the way Joseph Muscat is forcing those Laburisti to look at him wearing a blue tie, standing in front of a blue background, with no Labour flag in sight. 

Some of his supporters even wore blue T-shirts or ties. They clearly, clearly hate it. 

What they really want to do, deep inside, is wave their (old) Labour flag and shout &quot;Viva l-Labour, viva l-Labour, hej hej hej&quot;.
