Towards the upcoming general election...


I can’t find my ideology in today’s Malta Labor Party, but I am going to vote Labor in the upcoming general election because the MLP is the only leftist party in Malta. The Maltese political spectrum is dominated by rightist parties, only the Labor is on the left site of the spectrum, even if Alfred Sant himself is not a hardcore Socialist, but there are members in the party that are Socialists from the heart, like for example George Vella and Joe Debono Grech. This time the Labor party is by far more prepared to take the power than the previous general election. In the last four years the MLP passed trough a silent revolution, the program ‘pjan ghal bidu gdid’ is the result of hundreds of meetings with the civil society; unions, ngo’s, workers, investors ecc… In the other hand, The PN is a party based on the ideology of Christian-Democracy, a rightist party who believed in free market, an ideology that I will never vote for, because it doesn’t resemble to my principles. To be honest, I think that Lawrence Gonzi is a more capable leader than Eddie Fenech Adami, but his ideology is by far different from what I believe. The AN is a newly founded party by the capitalists to the capitalists, it is a conservative party, I believe that the AN wouldn’t get more than 2000 votes. The last is the AD, a party based only one the environment (a green party), for this party my believes are that in the next general election they will lose more and more votes. As I said, I believe that from the choices there are, the MLP is the most prepared and closest to the workers needs. For that, I am going to vote Labor in the upcoming general election.

Prosit! Sadly, Malta still lacks a solid workers' party that could really take up the struggle against the evils of capitalism. Given the situation, I also believe that voting for the Malta Labour Party is the best option.

I strongly disagree with you, because in the last few years we have seen a compleet swift especially of the PN who shifted more to the left...this being so because of the incentives they have done towards the lower class workers.

The PN has surely tried to confuse people by using rhetoric that is commonly utilised by leftist parties. For instance, Dr Gonzi has recently insisted that the health services will remain free. Having said this, one must not be fooled. Dr Gonzi is a lawyer and he knows very well how to use language to achieve his goals.

During yesterday's mass meeting, Dr Gonzi reiterated the issue that today's youths constitute the IT generation, suggesting that a huge amount of wealth is awaiting all those youths as soon as they get their hands on an IT-related job. Smart City is repeated over and over again, making it seem like a promised land. There are two issues here that deserve closer attention. First, not all Maltese youths are studying or planning to work within the IT sector. What is Dr Gonzi offering to the thousands of young people who are not involved in the IT area? Second,from an economics perspective, as more people acquire expertise in IT, the supply of IT professionals will be increasing. With a much greater supply of IT experts, salaries are likely to plummet. This had happened in Spain several years ago when the country underwent its own IT boom. At first, the relatively few IT professionals were gaining astonishing salaries and benefited from excellent working conditions, but the whole package started to deteriorate as the country witnessed a massive increase in the amount of people specialising in IT. Dr Gonzi, it is one thing to talk about creating new jobs, but please remember that for a job to be worth something, it must be able to offer a decent package to the employee. During his speech, Dr Gonzi did not say anything about this matter. He preferred to make people think that just because new jobs will be created, these will allow many people to live a much better life. Dr Gonzi's words do not fool me!
