Waiting for the result

We don't know what is going to be the outcome but as Fasto Majistral has written it does not look good for the PN and we might be looking for a big defeat for them.

This defeat for the PN, if it happens, was on the cards all along. I have expressed my opinion several times that I have very little confidence in an unreformed MLP administration although we are not going back to the doom and gloom predicted by a number of PN pundits. The reason for this is with membership of the EU and belonging to the Euro zone, Governments do not have the same freedom to act as before in particular with regards to the economy.

I had been hoping for something positive to come out of this election with a breakthrough by one of the smaller parties. I expressed the opinion that this was the right opportunity for Malta to strengthen its democracy by having a plurality of voices. There is still hope for this.
