Which party would you vote for, if general elections were held today?


Results of 25th June 2007


Are you satisfied with the various parties' work? Do you think that the government shall be voted out of power and the opposition shall take over? Or do you think that Malta needs even a coalition between two parties? Or don't you want any changes?
General elections are still far away (later in 2007 or 2008). But what if.... What if general elections were held today? Which party would you vote for?

Between 14th and 25th June 2007 almost 1,000 people participated in this online poll. Thank you very much!

Here the details:

1,023 votes were cast in this poll.

Unfortunately, there were 38 people who voted more than one time. The votes of these 38 people had to be made invalid in order to obtain a result which is more honest and true.
So the number of valid votes was 973.

Here the percentages that the various answers got:
PN (Nationalist Party):           320 votes   =   32,89 %
MLP (Malta Labour Party):         336 votes   =   34,53 %
AD (Green Party):                 166 votes   =   17,06 %
Other Parties:                      6 votes   =    0,62 %
Non Voters:                       145 votes   =   14,90 %


INTERPRETATIONS:

This means that for the first time since 1962 the Maltese parliament would host 3 parties. And to obtain a majority a government would have to consist of at least two parties, so a coalition government would become reality.

The editor would like to point out, that this poll is not representative for the whole country. However, it gives a clear indication anyway.

Although the current government party PN would gain more votes, it would be only the second biggest fraction in parliament, MLP would have the biggest increase in cast votes and so take the lead in parliament. The difference between PN and MLP is steady at almost 1.5%, but this time in favour of MLP. Both AD and the NonVoter fraction decrease in May, AD less than the NonVoters. The biggest changes could be noticed amongst the MLP supporters and the NonVoters, both changes by about 5%.

The big winner would again be
Alternattiva Demokratika (the Maltese Greens) as they would enter parliament.

This shows very well, that the Maltese people still want a third party in parliament and that neither PN nor MLP have as much support as they used to have over the past few decades.

For democracy a 3 party parliament would definitely be healthy.
