					<description><![CDATA[Edward is right. Free health care for everybody is a crazy idea, which just goes to show how damned good the Nationalist Party in government has been.

Eddie and Lawrence have PERFORMED MIRACLES as prime ministers. Despite Labour&#039;s disastrous governments, we have services which are the envy of other countries. And it was all done in a few short years.

From a country which was bare, deprived, cut off and autocratic to a country of plenty, European connections and democracy.

Take a look around you and say that it is not so.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Great, so the bums who do not declare their income and therefore do not pay taxes, get to enjoy free health care, whilst the rest of us who pay our taxes and whose taxes have built the new hospital, continue to pay up. 

For all the talk of corruption, no one talks abut those who don&#039;t contribute to the Government coffers and/or fleece the social security system. 

Couples who don&#039;t get married so that they can get the single mother benefit, the zillions who clock in for their Government job and then skive off to do other work they don&#039;t declare, or those others who actually register for unemployment whilst earning good money. 

If everyone did their bit, then lowering personal taxes and having  free education and health care would not seem to be wishful thinking (though that is precisely what a Nationalist government has managed and continues to promise to do).]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[He is basically telling us that he cannot do the same job that the Nationalists are doing... he is incapable... because up to now that Nationalists have managed.

No excuses here, he is telling you upfront:we Labour don&#039;t know how the Nationalists are managing to provide Malta with free health care.

Now are you going to vote for this person who doesn&#039;t know how to provide free health care? Or are you going to vote for a government which has proved it can?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hi Daphne, 

Please have a look at Luciano Busuttil&#039;s Facebook profile. This morning he posted an image comparing the Mass Meetings held on Sunday by calculating the areas of Fosos and Dingli Street. 

Is this future minister for real? Sadly enough some people were actually impressed by this.]]></description>
