					<description><![CDATA[I think it may be pertinent to point out that out of the hundred applications vetted by the PN, ninety one result shady. 

That&#039;s over nine out of ten. It is in the national interest how many new citizens have been accepted to fill us with talent. How many thousands. 

Anglu Farrugia should be alarmed. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Some thoughts come to mind. I won&#039;t be surprised if Joseph Muscat will come to parliament and propose changes to the voting system, allowing  voters to cast their vote in the relative embassies. 

This will be proposed as a measure to allow all Maltese citizens to express their vote without having to travel to Malta on day of voting and doing away with having to offer reduced flights. 

In itself this wouldn&#039;t be a bad idea. But in the circumstances this could be very very dangerous unless their is total scrutiny of the system.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The ingredients of a successful businessman: dealing in aluminium and selling products at below cost and financing them with bank loans.

These are two aspects which, to a certain degree, also mirror Keith who intends dealing in aluminium and whose Kasco Holdings spends more than it generates income and ends up with a shortage of funds to pay for the bank interest thereby requiring more third party financing.

I wonder whether Identity Malta gives these new billionaire citizens a life membership card of the Malta Labour Party, and a visiting card of Michelle Muscat as honorary President of the Marigold Foundation besides the eligibility to vote in general elections.

SHAME]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[From what I understand, in China there 2 categories of corrupt people. Those related to the upper echelons of the Party and these are allowed to continue enriching themselves while the other category, not not being connected to the inner circles of the Party, are hounded, taken to court and imprisoned sometimes even executed as a demonstration of governments &#039;s zero tolerance to corruption. What a joke. ]]></description>
