What also struck me was the fact that she was SMILING.  If I were on minimum wage I&#039;d be tearing out my hair on pay-day, not smiling - even with the extra euro a week I&#039;d be getting under Labour.

Another observation I made is that it probably cost them more to put up all those billboards than it will cost them to cover the uncollected tax.]]></description>

Would YOU have sent either one of them to face Simon Busuttil?  

PL did the right thing in giving a walk-over in this match.  They assumed Reno Bugeja would be more effective for them.]]></description>

That would be because deep down you know that you will not be worse off if the PN is in government again.  You will never admit it of course but other than being a staunch Laburist and therefore wanting a win for your party, you will not lose out with the &#039;enemy&#039; in power.

Unfortunately, we do not have that luxury.  We are more than sure that PL has no plans for Malta and that within a couple of years the country&#039;s economy will grind to a halt and unemployment rise as it has ALWAYS risen under Labour.  

And the nagging feeling that most laburisti, even those who will be in the cabinet and even Little Joey himself still think of Europe as &#039;them&#039;, not us is very unsettling.  If a future labour government falls foul of EU regulations, which it definitely will if half of its promises are kept, what guarantee do we have that they will not take us out?]]></description>

Think on this, Eddy:  

The PN is a mediocre party that provides a mediocre government in a country with a huge proportion of voters that are totally incapable of intelligent and unbiased analysis - you being a prime example.  It only shines because the Labour Party is such a disastrous alternative.

Despite this and despite the terrorism and clientelism of the Labour Party, the PN managed to gain the approval of the majority of voters in 1981, 1987, 1992, 1998, 2003 and 2008.  Six elections to one over a 32 year period.

If the Labour Party ever manage to better that neither you (sadly for you) nor I (luckily for me) will live long enough to see it.]]></description>

According to what you wrote yourself Simon Busuttil did not say that Dr. Muscat said that he would return the electricity tariffs to what they were before. He simply said &quot;if&quot;. So where is the lie? 

Eddy your contorted way of reasoning and twisting of facts is really nauseous.

You should apologise to Simon Busuttil for unjustly calling him a liar and for lying yourself about him.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Why have representatives from the Labour Party when Reno was doing their job far better than any of them would have? 

I have never seen him so hostile to anyone and was disappointed to see him lose his professionalism in journalism. 

Well done, Simon, for being so well prepared on facts as always.]]></description>

Yes you could not be cooler about it. In fact it shows in your numerous comments in favour of Laburisti.

Well, you are one yourself so why should I be surprised. - not that you have no right to be a Laburist of course.]]></description>
