Don&#039;t forget Edison and the offshore terminal. Locating the second one in our waters would have been a win-win for both. 

Muscat&#039;s lies and non-committal is leading to everyone by-passing him. He thinks he can stretch it until it&#039;s his game. 

I doubt the Qataris will compromise their agreement with Italy to sate Muscat&#039;s &#039;grand design&#039;. There goes Muscat&#039;s strategy for offsetting an oversized regasifier.]]></description>

Exactly.  Judging from the Maltese public sentiment on irregular immigration, I would predict 4 MEP seats for Labour.  Despicable; but Muscat&#039;s ONLY concern is the local power of winning votes, while the future [what future?] of the country is sacked, plundered, and burned.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[All this fuss about illegal immgration is just in preparation to next May&#039;s EP elections. Muscat has done five years campaigning against Gonzi and now he is working on people&#039;s sentiment (even though in this case it is despicable xenophobic sentiments) in his bid to win next May&#039;s EP election.

Dr Busuttil, for the love of God do something or hand over the leadership to someone who is willing to hold this government to account. You would make a great Commissioner and you made an excellent MEP (one of the best the EU has ever had) but so far you are not fitting into your role as leader of the opposition. You are very talented. Your supporters are asking you to step up. You have our support if you do. Do what is right. We know you are evaluating the situation first and being cautious. We know, it has been a shock how bad this government has been so far to us too. Possibly you are letting the PL do the hard work for you before acting. Yes, they are shooting themselves in the foot but for now, at least until the electorate wakes up to what is going on, you must oppose the unjust things just the same.]]></description>

That’s how I saw it. Letta like all the other Italian prime ministers is stealthily taking responsibility of Malta’s territorial waters: Search And Rescue first, then air traffic control and then &quot;il colpo di grazia”, Malta&#039;s oil drilling rights.

There ain&#039;t no such thing as a free lunch.]]></description>
