"Change me if you can". This is what the Labour Party seems to have been crying out loud in our ears in recent months, and some may say even years. Something, or an accumulation of things, seemed not to tick the right boxes with the majority of people in our tiny rock in the middle earth. And so, a handful of months back, Labour Party delegates had a decision to make. Change, or sit like a duck. They, convincingly, choose change, and that's not because Malta is full of hunters. They put the X near a certain Joseph Muscat, who had been promising change for quite some time now. Even his MEP campaign, five years back, carried the Start Change tag.

This chap is all about change. Now he is in the driving seat of a party in transformation. Whatever the colour of your eyes, it must be acknowledged that Dr Muscat is moving people. He has managed to convince people to forfeit their sole power to elect the next leader, to make space for more people to participate in the decision-making process of the party, and to include the environment as a principle on which policies are built. Most importantly, which is of most significance to me and you, is that Dr Muscat is making the unchangeable changeable. Change can easily be perceived as a threat to one's position. Dr Muscat is instilling the spirit of accepting and seeking change, maybe with a small personal sacrifice, as a necessity of the success of the larger picture. This is something to be noted.
