Two strikes and you're out

It seems that the general rule for Governments is two strikes and you’re out. Since the sixties no party has won three elections in a row. Borg Olivier led PN Governments in 1962 and 1966 and was voted out in 1971. Mintoff won in 1971 and 1976 but lost the 1981 election to the PN who won an absolute majority of votes. So Mintoff overstayed and the Labour Government was finally voted out in 1987. Fenech Adami won in 1987 and 1992 but lost in 1996 to Sant. Sant’s Government quickly imploded and collapsed in 1998. Fenech Adami won in 1998 and 2003. Will this year confirm the rule or will a new record be set up?
