					<description><![CDATA[If only the majority of the Maltese population had been educated to read English  and to know where to look to find intelligence and good guidance in the right way of responsible citizenship. 

Regrettably Mintoff and Co. made sure this never happened as they knew what the consequences would be.

Sadly, as a result of this, ignorance and stupidity rule, the majority are unable to see the wood for the trees because of their lack of education and proper upbringing.  

Unless this inheritance of the Mintoff regime years of dictatorship are reversed, Malta will continue to remain basically a third world country.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Dare I say that there is more than a pinch of wishful thinking in this analyses.  

Until a few months ago, I would have been the first to say that this was a one-term prime minister, but the polls keep indicating otherwise.  

Worse yet,  Muscat has  taken a leaf out of KMB&#039;s book, promoting  mediocre people into position of power for, as Daphne pointed out in another post, their position is only as secure as the PM&#039;s. 

Let us not forget  that KMB ended his term in office in 1987 with more votes then Mintoff did in 1981, losing by only half the amount of his predecessor.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Jekk dawk li vvutaw lill-Labour biex jippruvawh (kellhom kull dritt) imma issa qed jiddispjacihom, allura hemm bzonn nuru l-appogg b&#039;sahhtu lejn il-PN u Simon Busuttil.

Kulhadd stenna l-mirakli minn dan ir-ragel. Jekk se noqghodu nqattawh bicciet u nikkritikaw kull haga li jaghmel, mela nibqghu kif ahna u ma ngergrux aktar. Imma jekk nghinu u nikkritikaw b&#039;mod kostruttiv, mela nistghu naslu flimkien. Niftakru BISS x&#039;sab ma&#039; wiccu SB u minn fejn beda. Hadd ma jista jinnega u jichad il-perseveranza ta&#039; Simon Busuttil.

Ir-rizultat tal-kunsilli lokali huwa dawl fit-tarf tal-mina. Ejja ma nhalluhx jitla ghar-rasna ghax flok joqrob, ikompli jitbieghed. Min irid ikolmpli jirredikola lill-oppozizzjoni, affarih. Imma min ghandu ftit melh f&#039;mohhu, jifhem li l-PN ma kienx perfett imma lanqas wasal f&#039;dawn il-basezzi u hnizrijiet f&#039;25 sena.
