					<description><![CDATA[Of course we need politics. We need people to lead the country otherwise there would be anarchy. 

But I don&#039;t want people to think that all are corrupt and accept what is happening as the norm. 

Look at us now, accepting scandals every day as the norm, with Labour people saying, u ejja kemm saret korruzjoni fi zmienkom. Sad. 

So unlike you, I choose to criticise what is wrong and not leave it to other people to argue for me.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I wasn&#039;t born into a Nationalist family, but into a family - on both parents&#039; sides - of Progressive Constitutionalists as far as the eye could see.

So quite frankly, I&#039;m actually proof that yours and Pantheon&#039;s argument is rubbish. The people who reach their own conclusions about how to vote - as I and everyone else in my family eventually had to do - are far clearer about the reasons, and the parties, in their minds. 

And that&#039;s why I am able to write about it.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Simon Busuttil has the opportunity of a lifetime to come out on top at both party and national levels.  Busuttil needs to tell Mario Demarco that he has to go and the best way for Demarco to go is the honourable way. 

His sin is that of a conflict of interest, a much lesser sin than the least of Joseph Muscat&#039;s government, but go he must because the PN&#039;s standards have to be up there, while the Labour Party&#039;s standards don&#039;t even exist.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Is it me or is the Times of Malta trying to give a helping hand to Silvio Debono (and by association Mario Demarco) by using bombastic phrases in its headlines?

&quot;PN&#039;s &#039;categorical denial&#039; about salary claims rubbished by db Group&quot;.

It hasn&#039;t even put &#039;rubbished&#039; in inverted commas. I don&#039;t see any rubbishing, but only panic. 

Busuttil&#039;s call to the Auditor General to investigate the sale of the former Institute for tourism Studies site by the government to Silvio Debono may effectively derail the latter&#039;s nefarious plans and Muscat&#039;s commercial take, or if the commercial take has already been effected, then Debono will then have to ask Muscat to return the money, same as he has asked Simon Busuttil openly and publicly, but in this case, privately.

There should be no place in the Nationalist Party for people who are more interested in personal gain. How can Simon Busuttil be credible? They should resign until their name is completely cleared. Take the lead from others who have done so in the past.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[How is one born with PN blood in his veins? And that is a genuine question. When people say things like that, it makes them ridiculous.

You are supposed to vote for a political party because you have made up your own mind about it after considering its people, policies and the alternatives. And not because you have potato blood in your veins.]]></description>
