Legitimacy, that&#039;s it, Tabatha. I think it&#039;s time for the PN to turn reconciliation with the electorate into a pact between equals. The time is ripe to turn contrition into clear worded proposals for a future looking more distant every other day. 

It&#039;s not about told you so&#039;s, not when Muscat keeps agenda&#039;s hidden then comes along saying he has the majority no matter what. 

He doesn&#039;t have carte blanche, otherwise why bother with that gargantuan campaign, a congress in Ta&#039; Qali, Partito Democratico style and a program more like a Phaidon on a coffee table than being tattered, scribbled and revisited? 

Perhaps some of our opinion leaders need to understand that when they insist on the Opposition&#039;s denigration, read Saviour Balzan&#039;s adamant refusal to &#039;listen to a party who was drubbed in that manner&#039;, the risk of being forced to give up sacrosant rights by Labour is automatic. 

There&#039;s another side to all this, insidious and as always overlooked by those who&#039;ll fill their pages with plain polemic; the opportunities being lost, the tendency to scrap potential, lessons learnt and a perverse tendency to match current decisions with past bloopers. 

I refer to the next great debacle, Marsaxlokk, does anyone need reminding that Muscat promised us that thing by March 2015? That means 14 months and all the pretty renderings turned real, when he doesn&#039;t he&#039;ll have to eat into this country&#039;s finances to subsidise energy bills perpetually until it&#039;s ready. I&#039;m not holding my breath. 

Which he obviously can&#039;t not with Reding&#039;s EU watching closely over fair competition. 

With engineering it&#039;s rather similar to what you say re. the EU, make that the continent; there&#039;s no place for simulated realities or fanciful distortions of numbers. 

I can&#039;t tell you when they went on about tanks, storage, chimneys and foundations how horrific it felt seeing politics used to gobble any technical and scientific truth. 

Ironic how the liberal party had to obscure the PN&#039;s industrial orthodoxy, a bit like those greens who think we&#039;ll all be able to waft around on clouds in our lifetime. 

But then, the problem in this place is pure ignorance, that the PN understand this and take it on immediately, before we end up perpetually without power.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;Orchestra executive chairman Sigmund Mifsud said the Mro Schembri would be an international advertisement for local music.&quot;

http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20140124/local/new-conductor-for-national-orchestra.503958#.UuNcLM2Cq3U
Why was Prof Michael Laus removed?

There&#039;s an elephant in the room - MLP candidate Sigmund Mifsud. What&#039;s he doing there?

I read Brian Schembri&#039;s CV , he was sent to communist Russia in the golden years, to further his studies.

&quot;After he became the youngest ever to obtain the Licentiate of the Royal Schools of Music (London) he continued his studies at the Kiev and Moscow “Tchaikowsky” State Conservatories. 

There he actively participated in the student concert life, both as pianist and conductor, winning first prize in the &quot;Beethoven Concerto Competition&quot;. He obtained an M.A.(music) and did post-graduate course in piano with Alexander Snegiriov and Serguei Dorensky as well as conducting with Roman Kofman and Gennady Rozhdestvensky.&quot;
