					<description><![CDATA[&quot;What matters is that by accepting the likes of AST, Debono Grech, Karmenu Vella etc is&quot;

Muscat is not there merely &#039;accepting&#039; them. They are the ones that engineered his way to the top and he cannot just ask them to now please go away.  

What he may have not realised early enough is that they just used him and will discard him at the earliest opportunity, which would be a few months after Labour is elected. 

Their mistake they did was to crawl out of the woodwork much too early and risk ruining their own &#039;cunning plan&#039;. 

If they had stayed out of sight there wouldn&#039;t have been any possibility for Labour to lose the election but as it is I think they have scared away quite a lot of people.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Labour Government broke ties with the west in the seventies, not for political reasons but because Gaddafi promised us compensation for becoming a Libyan satellite which is what we effectively were for a good 12 years. 

We were even made to bear a green passport, written in Arabic which was  conveniant to harbour PLO terrorists wanting to cross over to Continental Europe and play martyrs. 

Arabic was made compulsory at secondary level and replaced languages like French and Malta was made to align itself with North Korea and Romania during AST&#039;s ministerial engorgement. This man is an enemy of the state and a traitor to democracy.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - It would have been a good thing to learn Arabic, and very easy for Maltese-speakers. But unfortunately, that option was ruined by forcing it down our throats because of Gaddafi. It put people off.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Min Jaf I am in total agreement with you. 

I actually believe that if these people are elected to govern this country Muscat will be overshadowed and taken over within weeks if not days. 

There are no leadership skills. 

A reporter can never become a leader of a party or even yet a country just because he was elected as the so called &#039;best from the worst&#039;. The fact is that these dinosaurs are there and there to stay. It&#039;s too late for Joey now.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Muscat&#039;s calculations were not on the few individuals that were called into the skip, but the number of supporters these individuals have. 

That&#039;s what is important for Muscat - get the votes in and then we shall see.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[David Meilak, do you actually believe that Muscat has &#039;accepted the likes of AST, Karmenu Vella and Joe Debono Grech&#039;? 

That fossilised lot has taken over the Labour Party. Joseph Muscat is now nothing more that their glove puppet to be dumped at the first opportunity if and when PL gets back into government.

And so much for the PL manifesto being written by il-Guy and others. Muscat has today announced a PL congress where party members will propose and vote for guidelines upon which the manifesto will be based.

Conclusion, neither Muscat nor il-Guy has even the faintest idea of where to start.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Who said that Muscat&#039;s Labour is different from Mintoff&#039;s. They cherish it, and see absolutely nothing wrong with it. 

Nor do their supporters. 

They voted for their party time and time again. They endorsed all the obscenities that Mintoff, KMB, and Sant propogated. 

All were issues against the real needs and dignity of Malta and the Maltese. This is what Lawrence Gonzi, Malta&#039;s progress and well being, is up against. Unfortunately our future is in the hands of fanatic morons.]]></description>
