These new rich pose the main challenge to the islands&#039; sustainable development.

Development as in refining method. 

The uncultured forma mentis inhibits style. In Malta, the effects are amplified, have to be tackled. 

Labour as usual, is late. 

Indeed, why did Piano&#039;s concept horrify the usual suspects? They just couldn&#039;t deconstruct meaning. The insecure followed. 

If I say German SUV, which political manifesto comes to mind? 

Blame Alternattiva, their ridiculous dress sense and the pitiful whining.

You remind me of Louis Galea and other PN veterans, who have yet to understand that a political party is not an end in itself. It is there to serve a purpose. That purpose is winning elections, and governing. Or the best manifesto may as well be literature.

I&#039;m not talking about compromising any principles. I&#039;m talking about forcing MLP to choose between principles and the &quot;floating rubbish&quot;.

So far, this campaign has been about trivialities, branding and marketing. If 1500 voters could swing the election last time round, then we need to bring Lowell&#039;s supporters out into the open and have an open discussion about the issue of Lowell&#039;s support for Joseph Muscat.

Sometimes I wonder if PN&#039;s strategists even have internet acces.]]></description>

The National Socialist ethos of PL/MLP is deeprooted and evident to all - it is no surprise that they should willingly attract Lowell&#039;s mob and any other floating rubbish - good riddance!

Let us win the election with words of reason, facts and beliefs..

Let us always tell the truth and let the &#039;devils do their dance&#039;.

If we are to lose this election, so be it, then we prepare for the next one - we must never give up!

We have a responsibility to pass Malta onto all our descendants in a healthier condition that we received it. For all the mistakes of the past 25 years, the Nationalist Party has achieved this - and we can do it again.]]></description>
