A motion on the Labour Party’s project as the catalyst of a Movement of Progressives and Moderates is being moved by the party’s national executive for discussion and approval at the general conference.

In the motion, the PL acknowledges that there are moderates, progressives and people with liberal beliefs who, because of their roots, experiences and cultural orientation, were still not identifying with the PL.

The motion also says that for different reasons, which still have to be understood and addressed, there was a growing section of society that did not feel comfortable to be associated with a political party and was losing confidence in the political system, so much such that it considered marginal electoral preferences or not voting.

Debate on the motion, built on the vision of PL leader Joseph Muscat, would be the central point of the work of the general conference, the PL said.
