Extreme Solutions for Desperate Politicos

There are so many idiosyncrasies which make our little island state unique. The list is too long to be published in such a short article. But, as a nation, we tend to go from one extreme to another when attempting to solve problems. Such a fallacious solution to any...

PN: Too Little, Too Late

These last five years have been very painful for the Nationalist Party. It has also been very painful for the good citizens of Malta and Gozo, who have been methodically denied of a coherent and rejuvenated opposition. In fact, one can say that the Maltese electorate...

Labour is BOTH the Government and the Opposition

The country is slowly but surely disentangling itself from the coronavirus pandemic restrictions and protocols and cautiously moving forward in paces which outrun other, bigger EU countries. It will not always be a smooth ride in the coming years but the foundation...

Post-COVID political fallout
