The Nationalist Party is proposing a referendum on Constitutional change.

In its electoral programme it is proposing a review of the Constitution to mark the 50th Independence anniversary.

This would include updating Malta’s “completely obsolete” neutrality clause, deputy leader Simon Busuttil said when questioned.

The PN’s electoral programme contains 125 pledges compared to 350 in 2008.  Dr Busuttil said the PN took the deliberate decision to cost everything and the aim was to achieve a Budget surplus in the next legislature.
