Labour Lead By 12,000 Votes In Recent Vince Marmarà Survey

Oct 12 2024 Share

A recent survey conducted by statistician and professor Vince Marmarà reveals that if a general election were held today, the Labour Party would secure a fourth consecutive victory, albeit with a significantly reduced margin of 12,000 votes.

Despite the party’s efforts to rejuvenate itself following underwhelming results in the recent MEP and Local Council elections, the poll indicates that their position remains relatively unchanged compared to previous wins by 8,000 and 20,000 votes.

The survey, along with others, highlights growing voter apathy toward the two main political parties, with 21.6% of respondents expressing support for ADPD, other alternatives, or remaining undecided.

The findings also suggest that under the current conditions, neither party would achieve an absolute majority, exceeding 50% of the vote.

This outcome contrasts sharply with a MaltaToday poll from two weeks earlier, which projected a 12,000-vote victory for the Nationalist Party.

In Marmarà’s survey ,nearly 40% of voters expressed a lack of trust in either Robert Abela or Bernard Grech as their preferred prime minister. Among them, 15% said they trust neither leader, 8% were unsure, and almost 17% indicated trust in other leaders.

Despite this, Abela remains significantly more trusted than Grech, with 36% of voters expressing confidence in him compared to Grech’s 24%, giving Abela a 12-point advantage.

Young Hedgehog Healing After Signs Of Poisoning

Young Hedgehog Healing After Signs Of Poisoning
Oct 12 2024 Share

Xrobb L-Għaġin’s Nature Park and Wildlife Rehab Centre shared the story of little Munchkin, a young juvenile hedgehog who was found in Victoria Gozo showing symptoms of poisoning.

Munchkin was shaking, foaming at the mouth and was unable to walk.

‘She has been treated by our vet and is so far showing signs of improvement but she is still not out of the woods yet’, the wildlife team explained.

‘As she is still unable to walk, she also has to be given food and water by syringe to keep her strength up. If she had not been found by a member of the public, she definitely would not have survived.’

‘We urge people to consider the unintended victims of poisonings. Our vet suspects this was a case of snail poison but we cannot say for sure. Very often our local wildlife falls victim to poisons and pesticides that are left out intending to kill other species. Hedgehogs are a natural pest controller as they eat insects such as snails, slugs, worms, beetles and other insects.’

‘Thankfully it looks like this little one was found in time and our volunteers and Vets will continue to care for her in the hope that she will make a full recovery.’

All the animals rescued are protected species and it is illegal to keep them as pets or harm them in Malta.

For two years in a row, I tried and failed. But I did it at last! I hiked 136 km over the course of five days and four nights, always staying near the coast, to ensure I had covered the entire circumference of our stunning island, Malta! 🇲🇹#malta

That means 136km of walking, with Danyl sticking to the coast of the island to make sure he covered all the terrain!

He documented his journey on social media, virtually taking followers with him on the challenge.

Well done Danyl!
