A survey commissioned by President George Vella  and as reported by Times of Malta has revealed that a whopping 83% of Maltese people have always voted for the same political party. With just 17.3% having sometimes voted for a different party, more than 55% denied the possibility of voting for a different party and 27% considered doing so. People from Southern Harbour areas – Cottonera, Fgura, Floriana, Luqa, Marsa, Paola, Santa Lucija, Tarxien, Valletta, Xghajra and Zabbar – were most likely to always support the same party.

Those who were willing to vote for different parties were found to be between ages 16 and 25. A higher level of education also indicated the possibility of voting for different parties. Northern region localities – Mosta, Naxxar, Gharghur, Mgarr, Mellieha and St. Paul’s Bay – were more likely to vote for different political parties. 1,064 people were surveyed between April and May.

Single parking space sells for €1.06 million in Hong Kong

A 12.5 square metre spot in a luxury Hong Kong apartment complex has sold for an incredible €1.06 million (HK$10 million). Part of The Peak, which boasts unimaginable property prices, has attracted some of the city’s richest people. Overlooking Victoria Harbour, the space is no larger than apartments which normal residents cannot even afford.

UBS reported, in 2019, that a skilled worker required 22 years of income to afford a 60-metre flat, with the average property price in Hong Kong ranging at $1.2 million. With a 3,378 square-foot penthouse selling for US$59 million just last year and setting a benchmark price per square foot at $17,500, Hong Kong’s luxury property market skyrocketed following economic and political uncertainty in the years beforehand.
