					<description><![CDATA[If he is the man for you, you can marry him, sleep with him, or work for him - or just pick him as a friend. But don&#039;t try to inflict him on the Opposition, because right now, what the Opposition needs is somebody smarter and more ruthless (but honest) than Joseph Muscat. And somebody dumber and about as greedy is just not going to cut it.]]></description>

Get your head examined and a few lessons in European democracy. What does a political commentator and journalist have to do with a political party?

Take a sabbatical, immerse yourself in life in a European capital, read widely, read newspapers that are not published in Malta, and above all, grow up.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[How ridiculous you are (and I don&#039;t apologise for saying that). The quintessential point that Adrian Delia makes, as justification for doing f*ck-all in politics until now, is that he wanted to make lots of money and support his family. Now that he has made his money (but still has to support his family, because his wife - as you can see from all the rubbish she posts on Facebook, doesn&#039;t work), he has heard a calling like Moses, to lead us through the desert.

What is he going to live off? The Opposition leader&#039;s salary? 

This is like Keith Schembri saying that he &#039;divested&#039; himself of his shares and directorships, only for us to find that the shares and directorships are held by his wife, his father and his money-laundering associate Malcolm Scerri.

You&#039;re pretty cracked and desperate if you&#039;re looking to a Valletta lawyer who knows jack about politics to rescue you &quot;from this nightmare&quot;.

What do you see as the nightmare, anyway - the government, the state of the country, or the situation in the Nationalist Party? Because with your tunnel-vision, I strongly suspect it&#039;s the last.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I have met neither of them that I can recall. But I rather suspect that is an advantage.

Purely on a note of personal advice: it doesn&#039;t help Dr Delia that his supporters, like his wife, seem largely unable to construct a sentence that isn&#039;t hyper-emotional, slightly cuckoo, terribly immature, and decorated with emoticons and exclamation marks.

It creates the impression that he appeals to the sort of people who got sucked into the Da Vinci Code.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m sorry, but how does that qualify as a &quot;mechanism&quot;?

A mechanism is something which comes into play automatically. What you describe - co-option after forcing or persuading one of five people who have been elected through a casual election to give up their seat just for the hell of it is not a &#039;mechanism&#039; but a desperate solution that depends on bullying one of those five MPs into submission.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What a Laburist/a. 

Amazing how all the Labour trolls are out in force, either pushing Adrian Delia for PN leader, or more tellingly, failing to rip him to shreds.

You probably think the people on here are the kind of Nationalist Party idiots who squabble naively in &#039;closed&#039; Facebook groups and who demonstrate how highly susceptible they are to Labour messaging and how they internalise Labour propaganda.

You&#039;re in the wrong place. Get out and stay there.]]></description>
