Bridging the Gap
As I said in my previous post : I believe in Democracy and I believe in a democracy where every person no matter what political views they share has the right to give their opinion and have their say on matters.
In Malta it has been a two party system for decades and while I wish it remains like that I still believe that after decades of two parties tackling issues in parliament I believe that the time should come for another voice in parliament. Now in Malta there are of course other parties but in my opinion they are not the third voice which Malta needs . Alternattiva Demokratika is a party which should be called 'MLP 2' . It was founded by two Mlp rejects and even though they were in favor of Malta joining the EU since changing leaders (Harry Vassallo with Arnold Cassola ) they have become even more closer to the Partit Laburista . Azzjoni Nazzjonali are a party which on the other hand which I agree with on many issues since I am conservative. However I wish that the party would give more attention to other issues which affect the country besides Illegal Immigration. What Malta needs is a party that is serious and does not hang onto a major party the answer is-Liberal
Now I myself completley disagree with the Liberal idealogy. However in the spirit of Democracy I believe that as a third voice Liberal is ideal. Liberal combines both the ideas of Socialists and Conservatives and this will definitley not make it party orientad. There is arleady a Liberal party in Malta : Alpha Liberali but it is anything but serious and is highly racist. This brings me to another point, I doubt that the Maltese public is ready to treat a Liberal party with seriousness since the partisan following in Malta will never change. However I believe that a Liberal Party in Malta will be an excellent third voice in Parliament just like it is in the UK the only thing that remains to be seen is how it is looked at in Malta .
See you next week
