					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m worried about one thing in particular:  the space where one writes his numbered preference is just about adequate. 

If they are shrunk by half, it will be difficult even for me to stay within the line, let alone for some of our elderly population. Will this cause an increase in the number of invalidated votes? 

How will counting agents be able to monitor the process if they are unable to see the miniscule numbers?]]></description>

Didn&#039;t the prime minister declare Cyrus an asset to Labour?  He was treated like a martyr and a hero at the last Labour mass meeting.  Why exactly is he not contesting?

Those who were duped by Joseph Muscat that things would be different are not at all amused, Baxxter. 

I know what I&#039;m saying. Pity PN haven&#039;t got someone with more character, more resolve, less petty - this country needs a credible Opposition, for Christ&#039;s sake..and I voted PL.]]></description>
