					<description><![CDATA[It-tifel has a roadmap... to fix the statistics compiled by the NSO.

In fact, Minister Scicluna has already issued a &#039;threat&#039; to the NSO, in the sense that he wants the modalities (sort of formulae) of calculating the GDP to change for obvious reasons.

Just in case the new &#039;formulae&#039; does not lead to the desired GDP growth (i.e. the one promised during the election campaign), Albert Leone Ganado as the perfect lackey will make sure that the NSO finds a way to calculate the GDP growth number that the government asks for.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The paucity of up-to-standard politicians in this country is amply demonstrated thus: PN governments did - at least - try to upgrade the infrastructure vide Freeport, airport, new hospital, new oncology centre, a power station, terminals at Cirkewwa/Mgarr.

But their overruns were legendary in terms of finance and quite simply off-the-scale in terms of sticking to deadlines. The only exception was telecommunications - God bless you, Pierre Muscat. 

Even more incredibly, Labour governments never built anything. They just bought others&#039; scrap. Our forthcoming power station will be Labour&#039;s first-ever attempt at a new infrastructural project.]]></description>
