A Vote for EU

Maltastar



I`ll be short and to the point.` Last Saturday Malta voted for the EU.

There is no way in a democracy that a government with a bad performance as that of the last four and half years would in normal circumstances be re-elected with the same majority.

The people had a choice. They had a choice of either becoming members of the EU on 1st May 2004 with all the discipline and opportunities this would provide, or to elect a Labour government to negotiate Partnership and give the country the strong leadership that it misses.

The people realised that Partnership requires much stronger internal leadership than membership to impose on ourselves the discipline to save us from self-destruction. They looked at Labour and its leadership and decided, in their own unquestioned wisdom, that we do not have what it takes to deliver the strong leadership that Labour`s option required in order to succeed.

The people thus chose the EU.` The people are always right and their decision needs to be respected.
