					<description><![CDATA[These are the games they have been playing for the past 6 years in government departments. They started before the 2008 elections and upped the game year by year. 

Now it&#039;s peaking. Dr. Gonzi&#039;s team were made aware of this by many several times over, but failed to stop it. Unfortunately this was his failure.]]></description>

I am very sorry, but at PN HQ there is not enough sense that somebody can grasp this plan by Joseph Muscat.

Daphne is hundred percent right.]]></description>

Yes.  The PN is now in opposition.  It can afford to use labels on the government, and they will stick fast.  

Regime, dictatorial, undemocratic, bulldozers, arrogant, irresponsible, incompetent, insensitive, insolent, are all words that describe governments like the one being run by Muscat very well - possibly they are even understatements.

That red-blue billboard should be brought out again.  This time it should say Tana Biss under the red face, and Ta&#039; Kulhadd under the blue face.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The strategy employed by the Labour government is quite reminiscent of Adolf Hitler&#039;s drive to undermine support for the continuation of war by his enemies. 

It was a tactic he constantly used in the early stages of WWII. After conquering a nation, Hitler would hold out the olive branch to the Allies. Naturally, a rebuttal of his pretended claims for peace would appear to make the enemy lose face and justify Hitler&#039;s attack on the next country. 

I stand to be corrected, but &#039;Der Fuhrer&#039; tried it one last time after the fall of France, when Britain stood alone, weak and practically defenceless. He delivered a cunning &#039;peace&#039; speech, targeting the British public, in the hope that they would not support Churchill. It didn&#039;t work - the answer was a defiant &#039;No!&#039;. 

PN, it&#039;s time to close ranks.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Opposition MP&#039;s in executive roles - my willy. Probably there are indications that there are more JPOs and Franco Debonos on the Opposition benches.

They will try and cripple the opposition even more along the way, especially if any of them accept such roles. Wonder what is next?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hypocrisy is the only evil that walks invisible.
John Milton 

It is the knife under the cloak.

Muscat did say (during the electoral campaign) that, if he had the choice he would make himself invisible.

The question is, of all things under the sun why does he wish to be invisible? It is up to you to draw conclusions.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It is in the interest of the nation that the best minds in the Opposition scrutinise government fulfiling their role. 

Muscat&#039;s PL is ridiculous and absolutely uneasy with judgement. 

Opposition MP&#039;s need to understand that the electorate itself will realise all too soon that the sooner this scam is uncovered, the better it is. 

It&#039;s as if he lacks what&#039;s needed to govern. Moral advantage perhaps, truly a case of oops, now what.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Labour movement objection to the selection of Simon Busuttil as Nationalist Party Leader and Leader of the Opposition is the strongest possible argument in favour of his election to fill that role.  

It is just not credible that there could exist NP delegates, entrusted to select the new leader, who are so naive and so clueless as to believe that J Muscat&#039;s movement has any desire to promote the emergence of a rejuvenated, efficient   Nationalist Party recuperating from the humiliation inflicted by the electorate as a direct result of the NP leaders&#039; arrogant neglect to listen to the lamentations of its grass root support. Listening instead to the deceiving siren song of the Labour Party in the choice of a leader would be rank stupidity beyond belief.]]></description>
