					<description><![CDATA[Both are good politicians. But, both require help to deepen their knowledge in finding further ways forward in Malta&#039;s governance. 

There is a tremendous need for more truthful information collated and provided to ministers or ministers to be. 

All said, Labour is nowhere close to these guys. And who thinks that Labour does not embrace  wrong-doing any more, is way out in the hills, not with the fairies and neither with the leprechauns.]]></description>

The trip to watch the Arsenal game was a mastake Tonio Fenech has admitted and apologised for. It was simply a minor error of judgement. 

There was no monkey business with the Montebellos - simply an allegation which nobody in their right senses believes.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Simon or Tonio ?

More Jesuit coadjutors to choose from.
Same St. Aloysius  gang as always for the PN.
They have to have that Jesuit stamp of approval.

What a deal.]]></description>

Precisely. If, as you state Simon Busuttil is equally religious, I haven&#039;t noticed it because to date he has not tried to ram his religiosity down everyone&#039;s throat.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Simon is the man for me. Although I am now nearing 52 years of age (and out of the equation), I admire the way Simon has garnered his energy and prowess, targeting our younger generation for the well being of our country&#039;s future.

Tonio Fenech... such a pompous ass (in my rather rude opinion). I am hopefully waiting for the time he knocks on my door, come election time. He seems to have forgotten his roots, our dear Tonio.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Daphne, I cannot understand why you failed to mention Simon Busuttil&#039;s colossal gaffe regarding reconciliation with the dissenting party members in this post. 

Of course, he&#039;s been desperately trying to fix it by claiming that he did vote in favour of Franco Debono&#039;s ban in the coming general election. But somehow, it doesn&#039;t cut it for me. What other reconciliation could he have been talking about? 

I had decided not to vote for him as soon as he uttered those words, even though at the time, he was the only prospective candidate.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - I mentioned the shortcomings of neither of them. My view of Busuttil&#039;s decision to seek feedback from Jeffrey Pullicino is known already.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>
