As led, if one can call it that, by Slumber Busuttil, the PN has degenerated into to a Partit tan-Ninni.

Meanwhile Labour rides roughshod and unchallenged over everything and everyone.  

In the space of just a few months, the Partit Laburista has reduced Malta from being a well-respected nation punching above its weight within the EU under the Gonzi administration, to a sad little backwater island viewed with derision on the international front.]]></description>

In theory, Labour does not need to win the case now that they have won the elections.

They majtezwell stop their case, while Edward Scicluna, the Professor of Mintoffianomics and Minister of Finance, pays the VAT back as promised by his boss before the elections.

What&#039;s the point of dragging on with a court case in which the Labour Party is effectively suing the Labour government? 

Hundreds (or was it thousands) of car owners were made to queue in Hamrun for the Super One cameras.  Why should Labour make them wait any longer now that Labour is in the position to deliver on that promise out of Other People&#039;s Money (OPM)?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[PN, WAKE UP! (caps intended, as it seems that the heat has put everybody to sleep).

Can you imagine if all this was happening under a PN government? Probably the PL media would be going around in the roads with megaphones to make sure everybody gets to know.

The huge majority has really gone up to the PL&#039;s head. They are actually thinking that they own Malta and therefore not answerable to anybody.]]></description>
