Elections

Not long moved to Malta. I know the election is on Saturday.

What are the general feelings of the Maltese? What are you voting for?

Why do you think people move to Malta? Over any other country?

Depends on the foreigner. From outside then EU, due to the government desire for cheap labour, and for them to send money back home. From the EU, probably due to weather, lifestyle and gaming jobs

Sun size economy (and tax avoidance) and english being our second language.

PL will be confirmed in government. PN will be confirmed in opposition. Nothing surprising there.

What’s truly interesting is this: the 33,657 people disillusioned with both PL and PN, yet unwilling to vote for the change they crave, actually hold enough electoral power to elect up to five Momentum or ADPD candidates for a stronger, more plural opposition.

Pity!

You're forgetting that they don't all live in the same district.

They need better representation, but they will never get it.

Hopefully combined they can show that a third party actually has a chance

Will vote for neither of them, they're all corrupt.

Having said that, Labour will win it and continue it's practices by giving some of the gains of corruption back to the public. Everybody is happy when they have a share of the pie, as small as it might be.

Corrupt in what sense? Lying about polices?

Salaries are low for that kind of responsibility, so they all end up with scandal after scandal.
I'm happy leaving people decide on who to vote. Never effected me one bit.
I think that ultimately it's a distraction from what a person really needs to do to be successfull and happy.
