					<description><![CDATA[Out of 69 MPs, I believe only one has, so far, stated that she will be voting No.  Many have chosen the same line as their leader but most have declined to give their opinion.

It&#039;s clear and unfortunate that those that have been elected as our representatives do not think for themselves.  A healthy mix of Yes/No advocates would have shown that our parliament has a little moxie.  Why do we need 69 MPs when they cannot express their opinions even when they are given the liberty to do so.

For the PN, it would have been a great opportunity to show that the party is made up of free thinkers and not just lackeys scared of going against the opinion of Simon Busuttil or losing the hunter&#039;s vote.]]></description>

Behave, both of you. My ancestor Hans &quot;Eisenschwanz&quot; Baxxter wrote an account of his part in the Sack of Rome in 1527, and it appears the clergy weren&#039;t always so eco-friendly. He describes it in the form of a coded ditty. Those familiar with the writings of St Ambrose will understand.

&quot;Hans Eisenschwanz der edle Ritter ist ein gar zu guter Ficker,
mit diversen Kampfmaschinen rohrt er all die geilen Bienen.&quot;

P.S. The nickname refers to a duelling injury, not his prowess.]]></description>

Two men alone in a field at dawn. Their eyes meet. Admiring the firmness of each other&#039;s weapon. No sounds except their satisfying sighs.

What is there to object to?]]></description>

Ask Bergoglio. 

The right of doves to live put in jeopardy by subscribing to that of predators to eat; thus white balloons.  

Up next; does the vatican have a liturgical problem with biodegradable balloons?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&#039;How dare anybody ask for our vote but tell us that we are not allowed to know what their views are?&#039;

It&#039;s not just that but how can I be properly represented in Parliament if the person I choose to be represented by does not share my views?

I know which party I&#039;ll be voting for but I&#039;m very interested to know how candidates from my district will be voting.]]></description>
