					<description><![CDATA[The reason is that the PL doesn&#039;t like the MCESD and wants to get rid of it.  

Bencini is the type of person who will tell you one thing and in a few minutes says the complete opposite.  

Ask any minister who had to deal with him.  Mr. Bencini had several issues with most of the organisations represented on the MCESD and will make a complete mess of it.  

The PL will be happy and can continue doing its thing whilst the social partners argue.  Typical divide and conquer.]]></description>

Central Bank Governor and Deputy Governor roles are protected from government intervention. A wise move indeed, implemented to protect the position whose job  it is, occasionally, to oppose the government spending and financial plans. 

I do not know how long the governor&#039;s term is, but he will carry it out till the end. (ECB watchdogs that one).]]></description>

Totally agree, friend. These two reds have done very well, pseudo-lying in the weeds, while feathering their own beds.

Vella Bonnici is not as strong on the econmic front as he purports. In fact, quite weak. Dealt with him when the Nats left him as CEO of Malta Enterprise.(or whatever it was called back then).

Mifsud is a bilious, anti-everything good, sinister individual, since being turfed out of his cushy job when Mid Med Bank was taken over by HSBC. I&#039;m sure his bro will give him a reference.

Both cannot wait to get their revenge.]]></description>

I&#039;d go with this as a base and again, as with Franco Debono and Anglu Farrugia, there seems to be a pattern establishing itself reserved for switchers and traitors, that suggests a very mean humour: placements that make a mockery of them.
