					<description><![CDATA[Since when does a politician dress as she has in this photo?

In order to be taken seriously, pretend or otherwise &#038; even if you cannot think your way out of a wet paper bag, one should at least look the part. 

This is not a superficial comment but indicative of how things are run here. 

It seems it smacks of the Belusconi-esque era of COLPO GROSSO, a show that ran for many years, yes I swear it&#039;s true, in Italia objectifying women in the most extreme sense.

Really? Come on girl..... show us that you do have SOME brains..... or just go away.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The sad reality is that this ex-&#039;journalist&#039; (read &#039;show-girl&#039;) will probably become an MEP without breaking a sweat. This despite the fact that she&#039;s academically challenged, has no career to speak of, and is a leach on the public payroll. Not to mention that she&#039;s just had a baby in midlife, so there&#039;s not much chance of any midlife productivity spurt. 

Meanwhile, candidates such as Helga Ellul, an acknowledged leader with a successful career, who&#039;s furthermore just retired and is thus free to contribute fully, barely register on the voters&#039; radar.

					<description><![CDATA[On her FB she presents herself as a &#039;politician&#039; rather then a candidate.

https://www.facebook.com/drmiriamdalli?fref=ts

It is worrying that someone with such an extensive collection of degrees under her belt could be so challenged. It is demonstrative proof of the dysfunctional Maltese university and a society that has branched out in a very weird way .
