					<description><![CDATA[I have noticed many times during this long campaign, and i am not only referring to the 9 week, but this has been going on since Franco&#039;s antics started to take pace. 

People like Cyrus, Albert Gauci Cunningham, Manuel Mallia and even the ridiculous William Mangion, always emphasized on how comfortable they felt, and how welcomed they were in the Labour Party. 

When you come to to think of it, and try to read between the lies you will realise the real message they are trying to give here. 

First of all, any party wanting to win the election would welcome any Labour voter wanting to vote for PN. I wouldn&#039;t imagine a labour voter, walking in the PN head quarters, pledging that he will vote for PN and this guy will get kicked out of the place. So what is all the fuss about? Our politians spend months going around houses, knocking on doors, with their routine house visits promoting themselves and the party. Now when someone like the names mentioned above come knocking on your door why shouldn&#039;t they be welcome, why shouldn&#039;t they feel comfortable. 

However the names above did not do so in secrecy, they wanted all the world to know they are making the switch. And this is where i make my point, all the awe and surprise that they mention, of the PL being so open an welcoming, in reality would be meaning; We were surprised, that such a big party as the PL is not noticing that we are making the switch, not because we really believe in their values, or their politics but because they look like the possible victors and better be on their side. Surprised at how stupid can they actually be to give us so much coverage, so much airtime, never thought it would be so easy. Never thought they will fail to realise they we are blood sucking rats, wanting to be on top of the mountain, without actually climbing it&#039;

Whether their plan worked or not, we will have to waiting another couple of days. 

Morally, they already lost ages ago.]]></description>

I don&#039;t think this blog is PN-leaning at all. Anyone can comment, and some of the most prolific contributors are Malta&#039;s most inflexible Labourites, Mintoffjani even (Kevin Ellul Bonici, for starters). 

And if I read Daphne correctly, and after six years in her salon littéraire I think I do, she is anti-Labour rather than PN-leaning. Just like me.]]></description>

Very well said, and narcisstic people can be psychopaths too.

I am still waiting for Franco Debono to condemn Labour violence at Hamrun and Gozo.]]></description>

PN leaning? Cannot agree completely. PN were criticised several times on this blog for their faults. Just look at the divorce episode.

Being true to facts, and the PN often being on the right side of history and facts, does not make this blog Labour-leaning.]]></description>
