And, of course, through all of the unfolding political and electoral saga, the PL media will heavily portray Franco, JPOS, and Mugliett as sane victims of oppression.  As sane as the rest of the PL leadership.

As a whole, the PL represent an inversion of rationality; and the PN offer the only prospect [although under grievous attack from within and without] of steering Malta in truth and sound judgment in an international context of shared reasonableness within the collaborative responsibility of engaging reality.

Should the PL come to government, they will provide Malta and the EU with a disastrous carnival served with heavy dollips of irrationality, denial, and subterfuge, possibly mixed with unrestrained rage and revenge [and uncontained glee].  

Of course, the dangers of this emotional recipe do not auger well for local [or world] peace if  the PL should lose the general election: as they have been in a state of general warfare ever since Alfred Sant&#039;s fateful 1998 battlecry against Dom Mintoff.  

What we see in Joseph Muscat&#039;s PL-clique is Mintoffian revenge and its hopes for ultimate survival and revival.  The only hope for rationality in Malta [and to advert disaster] is to take a sword to the multi-headed PL leadership hydra.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Franco must be desperately working out his vengeance strategem. 

What will it be this time? Colluding with JM in a vote of no confidence in some minister or maybe the prime minister himself?  How is he going to control his bitterness for anything that is PN and his lust to damage the party?

Let it be Franco. You have lost the battle. Your super ego should be telling you by now that it&#039;s time to detach yourself and let go.]]></description>
