A very weird interview. She came across as a &#039;Duh, not sure how to answer that, still &#039;feeling&#039; my way. She will be devoured by the dinosaurs. 

When a &#039;true Nationalist&#039; crosses over, are all their brain cells sucked out by the reds?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Here&#039;s another star candidate 

http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20121007/local/-Labour-Party-has-learnt-its-lessons-and-evolved-.439914

So, here she is telling us that the proposals haven&#039;t even been decided, after a full blown congress where the direction and underlying principles should have been made clear and definite. 

Underlying principles which should determine a philosophy and the distinction between what&#039;s to be and what&#039;s redundant, or better, the tools to at least define your idea of right and wrong. 

And yet, they need another session of show of hands what civil rights are to be devoluted. It&#039;s as if they aren&#039;t even certain of their ideas, or capable of discerning what weight these should have.  

&#039;Are you convinced that a Labour Government will give gay couples the same rights as married couples?

Labour is a democratic party. A decision has to be taken with the whole group. When you are planning a piece of legislation in that context, in a democratic context, you might not get exactly what you wish for.&#039;

Excuse me Dr.Schembri, but, if you have to take it there, isn&#039;t that up to the electorate to decide? Or is this answer a clear indication, make that a full blown admission, albeit casually dropped during an interview, of how you intend to work, namely use this newfound obsession with democracy in the party to restrict public opinion to the party to be able to introduce laws and legislation? 

In other words are you saying that the legislative process according to you, will be reduced to a rubberstamp, given that democracy would have been exercised exclusively in the party anyway? I bet that&#039;s why your party, (isn&#039;t it?), has decided to blur the boundaries with the state. What difference is there, upon reason, between the &#039;national movement&#039; and the nation itself? 

Hilarious how you have to emphasize you&#039;ve ALWAYS been Nationalist, and what, pray, is that supposed to mean? That the source of all its idiotic history lay within the old badge? 
Or is it another teaser that Labour needs a good dose of PN to result palatable? How absolutely condescending. 

What next Dr.Schmebri, the first female prime minister?]]></description>

&#039;&#039;The replies that Commissioner John Dalli gave speak volumes. He confirms his hypocritical, arrogant, vindictive and lying character. He also confirms his professionalism in back stabbing, deceit and shameful public behaviour.

Commissioner John Dalli is such a compulsive liar that in his C.V. submitted to the E.U. Commission and published online, he stated that he was a lawyer for the World Bank in Washington DC from 1970 - 1995.&#039;&#039;
