The majority of the electorate will vote according to their conscience on Saturday to choose the common good over the clique which had hijacked the country, Simon Busuttil told supporters during his party’s last political meeting before Malta goes to the polls.

“We need to lead the country by example. We need to be an example of honesty, the truth, integrity, justice, transparency… Let’s close our EU presidency by telling the world Malta has cleaned its name and that we are proud to call ourselves Maltese,” the Nationalist Party leader said.

Speaking at the Floriana Granaries in front of one of the largest crowds attending a PN mass meeting since the EU referendum, Dr Busuttil’s speech was laced with optimism as he underlined the importance of unity.

"The wave of change and a new beginning is growing every hour. Make sure you join us to be on the right side,” Dr Busuttil he said, two days before Malta goes to vote in a snap election.

He appealed to those present to think of any undecided voters they personally know and convince them to vote for the common good of the country.

These undecided voters will ultimately have the biggest say in our future.

The PN leader said that although the “desperate” government had used all possible means to try to “buy votes” by handing out hundreds of jobs, promotions and contracts until the last day of campaigning, he was sure that these same people would send a clear message that they are not for sale.

“Your conscience will tell you to vote for Malta. Our soul is not for sale.”

Dr Busuttil said the choice during this election was one based on principles and Malta's future and not a simple political race between the two major parties.

The electorate, he said, was being asked to choose whether Malta should again become a reputable country based on justice, liberty, equality and where the rule of law prevails.

Addressing those who in 2013 voted Labour “to try Joseph Muscat”, Dr Busuttil said these voters had not done anything wrong.

“It was Joseph Muscat who deceived them and let them down. This time round it was Forza Nazzjonali which would be delivering a real Malta Tagħna Lkoll.”

He assured the electorate that the Forza Nazzjonali was “ready and fully prepared” to govern and boasted some of the people in the country who could deliver.

Dr Busuttil said his new government would hit the ground running with its first task being to again put Malta's reputation on the right track.

"We will make sure that the economy will not only continue to grow but will deliver much more without the institutionalised corruption," he said.
