					<description><![CDATA[It is quite obvious to those who know his dysfunctional background why Ian Castaldi Paris is still attracted to father figures (even those his own age) when he is married with children himself. 

He didn&#039;t grow up with his own father, but with his mother and her partner Carm Lino Spiteri, ic-Cumpaqq, a Nationalist Party politician (now deceased).

You do also do a spot of Freudian analysis there on his complicated relationship with the (stepfather) Nationalist Party and his pleasure in rejecting it publicly for the (father) Labour Party.

Another one from the viva chi regna brigade insomma. And last week he was the guest at John Bundy&#039;s RTK talk show. Kollox kumbinazzjoni of course.

Exactly, and this is an important addition to Baxxter&#039;s other comments. 

It highlights Castaldi Paris&#039;s take on things. His telling the Labour audience what he thinks they want to hear about The Great Leader, and prostrating himself at their feet just makes him look silly. A total wuss.

If he&#039;d lauded the wonderful Labour ideology and values instead, maybe he&#039;d have been a TINY bit more credible. His baggage doesn&#039;t help either, it screams &#039;Cyrus&#039; or &#039;Franco&#039;.]]></description>
