Hope springs eternal, but I wouldn&#039;t hold my breath if I were you. Simon Busuttil still can&#039;t seem to distance himself from that post-election &quot;he&#039;s-nice-but-unelectable&quot; epithet. 

So many people I speak to still seem to have that impression of him. Now whether that will stop them voting against the present government in 2 years time is a matter of waiting and seeing.]]></description>

I have that same feeling. The Prime Minister is starting to crack and no, it&#039;s not just the stress lines between his brows that gives it away. It&#039;s his running away from journalists and sneaking out of back doors that gives it away. 

Do remember that this guy was beaming with confidence and was able to keep a super-straight face and look totally relaxed whilst lying his arse off. Seems he is losing his magic touch.

It&#039;s only a matter of time. He can&#039;t keep defending Konrad Mizzi and he can&#039;t keep pretending that Mizzi&#039;s accounts are being audited. 

It&#039;s up to the Opposition and anyone else of good will to convince those who are still unsure that corruption DOES affect them and will eventually affect them both directly and personally.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Giving information to journalists and not allowing them to ask questions can be better served by sending journalists a press release, but no, our government must also convince everyone that this country is still being governed on democratic principles so they organize a what they call a press conference and make a mockery of the press.
