					<description><![CDATA[100% correct. Must not forget the huge number who didnt care. 

Had they voted,  would have put our hamallu prime minister in a serious situation. 

Another thing, I cant believe that our education minister can face the public after supporting someone in favour of killing birds in breeding season. What an example to students.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[And while Muscat tries to disown his involvement Bartolo makes sure that no one will forget when he writes on his Facebook “I attended many political activities where he (Muscat) made it clear that he was voting Yes&quot;.


Bartolo covers his arse by adding &quot;but people were free to vote according to their conscience.&quot;

Some say Bartolo was always a fool others say that he’s always been a snake. I wonder what Muscat thinks.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I am not terribly impressed with that Raphael Vassallo of Malta Today. It&#039;s only now, after 2 years of Labour government, that he has realised that it is Joseph Muscat who is prime minister and not Gonzi or Busuttil.

					<description><![CDATA[The outcome of this referendum is showing that Muscat&#039;s stance on spring hunting  is going to backfire.

Muscat stands to lose more votes than he gained by helping the yes campaign.

One false step by the hunters and Muscat will close the hunting season immediately. 

Muscat will definitely try to appease the thousands who voted against spring hunting. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There were 8500 people who didn&#039;t bother to turn up to vote. 

In my opinion these people do not care if birds are killed or not and therefore should be added to the No camp. 

I make this statement because the SHout campaign turned this referendum into a campaign about bird killing therefore distorted the real meaning of the referendum. 

If they had concentrated on the real issue of the referendum, the interpretation would have been different. 

This wasn&#039;t like the divorce referendum where those who did not vote simply didn&#039;t care about the issue. If you didn&#039;t show up to vote, you don&#039;t care if birds lived or died.


This would translate that approx. 62% of the Maltese population don&#039;t care about birds. Muscat&#039;s hunch to side with the probable victors was right.]]></description>
