Politics? No thanks. That’s what more and more people in Malta are saying, especially the younger crowd.
A shocking new State of the Nation survey has revealed that interest in politics is dropping every single year. In 2021, nearly half of the population (48.3%) said politics was very important to them. But in 2025, that number has crashed to just 30.8%.
And it gets worse. The number of people who say they do not care at all about politics has nearly tripled since 2021. Back then, it was 12.9%. This year? A massive 33.5%!
Young people are the least interested. Only 19.8% of under-25s said politics is very important in their life.
Even loyalty to political parties is changing. In the past, almost two-thirds (64.2%) always voted for the same party. But now, 42.0% say they’re open to voting for a different one in the next election.
Still, most people say they will vote. 74.8% plan to show up on election day. Only 8.2% say they won’t vote, and 17% are still unsure. Older people are the most likely to vote, with 85.5% of those over 66 saying they will.
So what’s going on? Experts say people are feeling tired of politics, especially the young. They want real change, not just more talking.
