					<description><![CDATA[People don&#039;t care.
 
Before the 2013 election, all you could hear were people complaining about how they couldn&#039;t keep up with expenses under a Nationalist government, how petrol and electricity tariffs went up and up, and of course, the heinous €500 honoraria. 

In reality, now that the &quot;u iwa, mhux xorta&quot; gang are in power, people don&#039;t really care. While we have never been the most disciplined country in the world, this nonchalance of the proper way to govern has trickled down to everything.   

From policemen smoking in uniform on beat, to hearing a pharmacist tell his P.O.Y.C customer that he has found her husband&#039;s papers and when she receives the new control card, to throw it out, to shops who previously gave you a receipt and no longer do so. 

Not to say that these things have never happened before, but this &quot;I don&#039;t care/ u iwa mhux xorta&quot; attitude can definitely be felt to a greater extent. Following human nature, if the Prime Minister, the man who should be a shining example of righteousness, can lease his car for personal gain to the government, why should others not bend the rules? 

If the Minister of Homeland Security can have thousands of Euros at home, not to say anything about the Minister for Gozo who wants us to believe he is a pauper, why should Joe Blow selling veggies from a truck give anyone receipt?   

If the Minister of Education does his job while having lunch and posting it on facebook, why should others not think that government officials can be bought with a nice lunch and a bottle of home made wine? 

This is why people don&#039;t care about the price of gas/petrol/electricity. They prefer the unprofessional and double-dealing government we have because this allows them to get away with so much themselves.]]></description>

The PN needs to start being truly negative instead of just being falsely accused of it - or they are going to remain in the doldrums for a good decade or so? 

The Maltese need it spelled out for them and drummed into them just like the PL did for 10 years. It&#039;s that kind of society.

The Opposition needs to call the government out on every single blasted blunder, otherwise it might as well join the Joey Bandwagon and collaborate with him outright in exchange for some favours just as half of Malta seems to be doing right now, spineless swine that they are.]]></description>
