“Labour would also promote a discussion on the living wage to ensure that all workers had a salary which enabled them to have a proper standard of living. This, would not be an imposition, but a discussion leading to consensus.”
Joseph Muscat
“A Labour government was in favour of an extended maternity leave and the introduction of paternity leave. Having longer maternity leave would mean a higher participation rate of women in the employment sector. It would ultimately mean more taxpayers, and hence, more sustainable pensions.”
“A Labour government would ensure that it was the well off who carried the heaviest burdens and now those with a small income. The people would understand the need for sacrifices when they could see that taxes were raised fairly and spent wisely.”
“A Labour government would be a governemnt which would put the country’s not the party’s interest first.”
“A Labour government would be honest with the people. The people would accept sacrifices when the country’s real situation was explained to them rather than being told one thing before the election, and something different afterwards.”
“A Labour government would build on what was good and would not bring in changes for the sake of change but would instead focus on the country’s real needs.”
“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”
