Hopefully those 450 are not eligible to vote.  But by the way he wants to lower the age at which to be eligible to vote to 16yrs eventually, probably to benefit from such a vague and absurd electoral promise.]]></description>

Joseph seems to ignore there&#039;s an artificial reef being formed outside Dragut Point. Maghtab, undergoing rehabilitation, had been the object of studies related to something similar, before the works started. 

If he&#039;s trying to sell us the power station out at sea, he needs to clarify the statement.  As usual, he stops short of any commitment, mentioning difficult decisions to be taken. For whom, Mepa? 

He obviously won&#039;t react to the tunnel proposal, which at this point in time, would result to be the only source of excavation material. 

This is one cowardly premier in waiting we have here, managing to create speculation on national issues.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Some people feel they do not need formal education, and if they are successful in their line of work anyway, who is anyone to say they should have furthered their education? 

Now I&#039;m a big believer in formal education, but it&#039;s not for everyone. 

A painter I know makes more money in a fortnight than I will eventually make in a month teaching, and he can&#039;t string a sentence in English together to save his life. But he supports his family, and contributes his services to society.
 
The real problem lies with the people who see education as a waste of time because they expect to live off the state. 

They see previous generations of their families doing this, and getting along just fine, so why should they worry about furthering their education? 

This problem is perpetuated because parents on welfare encourage their offspring to to be as relaint on the State as they are. But these people are not crying out for help, it is a choice they make. 

And they will probably be voting for you, Dr. Muscat.]]></description>
