No it doesn&#039;t. The national interest is the same for everyone. Please don&#039;t tell me you believe that relativist nonsense about everyone having a right to express an opinion. No one has a right to their own version of the facts.]]></description>

Jeez, and to think I was ordered to be converted in order to marry my beautiful Catholic wife-to-be back then.

					<description><![CDATA[As an outsider who has no party allegiance, I can tell it how I see it and not give a monkey&#039;s if I offend or irritate.

My view of Muscat is that he is basking in the glow of a 9-seat majority.

He knows it will take five &#039;Frankie-types&#039; to topple him, so he&#039;s safe as.

His raison d&#039;etre appears to be taking the piss out of Nationalists.

With no one to answer to except himself, and the voters in five years of course, I can see it getting a whole lot messier before it gets any better.

The chap has a serious inferiority complex.

Of course most of the population has one too, so he doesn&#039;t stand out as a freak.

What I want is a definitive answer to this question: what is the national interest?]]></description>
