					<description><![CDATA[So, how does appointing an ophtalmic surgeon to the cabinet, so stopping him from operating, contribute to drastically shortening the Mater Dei Hospital waiting list as promised by Labour?

And how does then permitting said ophtalmic surgeon to continue to operate only on private patients contribute to fulfilling that promise?

Or would that cause patients on the long(er) MDH waiting list to migrate to the private hospitals, indirectly shortening the MDH list?

And, if that is so, now, who stands to benefit directly from that?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[
My simple question is, can Muscat even do this? 

I know that since he stormed to power last month he&#039;s been acting as if he can walk on water, heal the sick with a touch and turn water into Chateauneuf du Pape. That&#039;s what such a meteoric rise from Super One (what the) hack to PM can do to a man. 

But seriously, can&#039;t &quot;somebody&quot; put him straight and cancel out such abuse of the rules?]]></description>
