					<description><![CDATA[Besides being totally undemocractic, I think this is another delaying tactic so as not to hold the referendum on spring hunting. 

He has already used a tactic like this to save Farrugia Sacco&#039;s skin. By postponing the local council elections, which people often use to give the Government of the day a message, Muscat is ensuring that people don&#039;t use their discontent against Government and express it in a vote in the referendum. In this way hunters keep practising their &#039;sport&#039; unfettered for several more years. 

He will then probably include their &#039;cause&#039; in his marketing campaign for the next general election. And we all know how effective his marketing strategies are on our electorate. Moreover, with all the deals he is doing, he is making sure that his marketing fund is going to be even greater than the last one which was mainly built on promises.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Godfrey Grima probably voted PN when it was unwise for him to do so, when he had much to lose, when his brother was a minister with the MLP government of the eighties.

Godfrey is very much his own man and like many who voted MLP this time round had had enough of the PN and thought the MLP had changed.

If he&#039;s not doing this for some personal gain he hopes to attract than what he has to say ought to be noted.]]></description>

Did The Times or The Sunday Times ask any &#039;experts&#039; for their opinion about Enemalta, the health system, cronyism, the deficit and the sale of citizenship, and if not, why not?]]></description>
