Everyone is, it&#039;s as if he&#039;s some diplomat playing it very safe in a previously hostile country. 

He believes in this country by trying to remove its government from the picture. It&#039;s implied he knows fully well there&#039;s a limit what he can actually criticise. 

Muscat hasn&#039;t yet managed to gauge public sentiment except for his own realsocialist following. When will he realise he won&#039;t ever be able to?]]></description>
