Albert, so what you&#039;re saying is that when PL wanted us to believe that Europeans will come and take our jobs in Malta if we joined the EU they were talking utter rubbish?

How right you are.]]></description>

Silvio, getting a stipend for going to University is not a handout, just as much as getting a salary for being employed is not a handout.  

The reasoning behind this is that university graduates tend to find better paid jobs which translate into more taxes paid.

So in effect it&#039;s an investment not a handout.

I did not &#039;emigrate&#039; as you put it.  I work for a global organisation that has offices in 120 countries, including Malta.  

I have chosen a different jurisdiction to gain all the relevant experience and rest assured that I will be back home in due course.

So you see, my vote for PN is also an investment.

You say &#039;a good horse sells in it&#039;s country&#039;. I say that a great horse sells wherever, and never has it been more obvious.

Good day.]]></description>

No, Albert Farrugia, someone who feels compelled to drive for six hours to catch a flight to Malta so he can vote is not doing a favour to the Nationalist Party.

He is simply trying his damnedest to preserve an investment Malta made when it joined the EU and making sure that no idiot with a brain the size of a flea&#039;s will screw things up.

Some people here, obvious Labour elves, guarantee that the Labour Party never changes and the same party values them because of their inability to figure things out for themselves, so they continue to believe what the charlatans feed them.]]></description>

I&#039;m sorry, Albert, but comparing to Italy or USA is rather ignorant. 

Do you think that Europeans do not travel to the neighbouring countries, and even beyond, to gain work experience or even study? They do go back home you know.

In this day and age, if one wants to excel and move forward in their career, working abroad is beneficial. Especially to gain knowledge and experience that can be used here.

By working abroad I do not mean leaving Malta and making a future there.]]></description>

My daughter is most determined to fly back from the UK and vote to ensure that the party which has created opportunities for her in Malta and in the EU is returned to govern, and that the party which is still anti-EU is pushed back into Opposition.
