Those who consider themselves floating or disgruntled voters, or perhaps are one of the 17,000 young new voters and are in favour of Malta forming part of the European Union, need to think twice before casting their vote at the forthcoming election.

Read between the lines what the opposition are saying: They are adamant that Malta's place is out of Europe. What we as a country, and not as the Nationalist Party, have achieved may be lost, possibly forever.

There is too much at stake. I, therefore, urge readers not to consider this election as payback time - there are the local council elections to show one's disapproval.
