“I long for the day when the Maltese people enjoy the freedom of having demolished the barriers that divides them.”
Joseph Muscat
“George Borg Olivier and Dom Mintoff obtained Independence and Freedom Day for the entire nation and not for half of it”
“Our forefathers who achieved total freedom from foreign rule 31 years ago, have dreamt of a country where its people could come together under one flag.”
“A future Labour government would base itself on meritocracy not mediocrity, as at present. This would be a government based on a movement which went beyond the limits of a traditional political party”
““Governments need to be able to look people straight in the eye and tell them what is needed, the people know they need to make sacrifices,and that neither government nor the opposition have “a magic wand” that can fix things. But we need to show taxpayers the whole picture, not a picture that changes from one election to the next.”
“There was a limit to how much a government could reduce its spending, but a Labour government would invest more in key areas of the economy that yielded growth, such as tourism.”
“Labour would be radically different from the current government with regard to economic growth. For Labour, the generation of wealth would come first. The government was taxing the country dry. But Labour believed that the key to economic growth lay in taxing less to earn more, by stimulating consumer confidence.”
