It takes commitment to be really daring.

Clarity is in simplicity, not guesswork.

I&#039;m listening, but I&#039;m not yet hearing that commitment.

Still very ambiguous.

If you have something to say Marlene Farrugia, spit it out.

There will be more respect from all sides for clarity of position. More power in that too, unless you are simply putting other pawns in place.

We can&#039;t afford any more playing with words, simply because we&#039;re sick of it.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Sometimes I wonder why on Earth she was part of the Labour Party at all.

What she has just said is what the PN have been saying from the day such a scenario was real in Malta way back in the 70s and 80s and also painted a picture of what she feels is to come. Sadly, she was part of the machine, whether she likes it or not, that brought this upon us in the first place.

Had she been a Nationalist candidate that sort of article would have been met with &quot;Stop living in the past. Look to the future&quot; nonsense, and anyone who stood by such an article would have been called brainwashed.

Malta has a serious weakness, and it has to be dealt with once and for all, something that could have been done last election but wasn&#039;t.

I am afraid I think she&#039;s too late. The ignorant have been roused by the very techniques she has described. 

Does she know that the first step to eradicating this problem is to speak out against Mintoff and Lorry Sant? Does she understand that the very presence of their statues is an affront to the democracy and principles she has just told us about, and that are yet again under threat?

Why is it that people only speak out against the PL once they realise that the dangerous methods they use have worked against them, even though they were more than present at the times when they were being implemented and designed. 

Marlene, this should have come a long time ago.]]></description>
