What if the grey matter input source is remaining on the sidelines directing things with Joseph to his own personal benefit first and has been there since 2009? 

What if this grey matter counts? 

What if this grey matter is the country&#039;s biggest Jekyll and Hyde character ever?

What if there have already been casualties? 

Franco&#039;s a dummy: he&#039;s just being used. He&#039;s a diversion.]]></description>

He was Guido De Marco&#039;s canvasser (and Giannella&#039;s boyfriend for a while). 

What happened is his ambition to be a part of the country&#039;s leading party. 

And as it looks like this is Labour&#039;s time, a whole lot of people who are driven by the ambition to belong to the governing side of parliament are jumping on Labour&#039;s bandwagon. 

Whether there are people among them with real grey matter is another issue altogether.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Laghqi! Ma kienx jaqbel mieghu imma jarah bniedem ta&#039; karizma. 

Issa qed jghid hekk, imma, ghax bidel il-kulur u sar ahmar. Jew blu? Issa tfixxkilt. 

Kull min naf jien u ma kienx jaqbel mal-perit Mintoff jiddeskrivih b&#039;hafna aktar titli dispregjattivi. 

U dan iltaqa&#039; mieghu ukoll. Tghid Duminku urihulu t-Thermos li kien igorr mieghu biex ma jixrobx mill-ilma li jixrob li-poplu Malti?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Very evidently jumping on the Mintoff/middle class bandwagon fronted by Joseph Muscat, but driven by il-Guy, AST, Debono Grech and the rest of the usual suspects harking back the the Zmien tad-Deheb.  

Also very conveniently, Duminku Mintoff has long ago gone gaga and so is in no position to contradict Manwel Mallia.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What does his friendship with Mintoff have to do with his candidature? 

So to tempt people to vote Labour, they have to have candidates with Dom&#039;s blessing. Isn&#039;t Muscat&#039;s approval enough? It seems like the PL peaked too early for the election and now they are losing track.]]></description>
