If our two main political parties really have the common good of Maltese citizens at heart, I would suggest that as from next year they hold their December fund-raising marathons after that ofL-Istrina, which is held to raise funds for the Malta Community Chest Fund.
As far as I know, both Nationalists and Labour have always made it a point that for them “the Maltese citizen comes first”.
But does this still hold good, or has it become a cliché?
