Taking to social media, PN MP Alex Borg addressed the recent discussions surrounding the establishment of a third party.
“One understands the need for something different, and some justify this need by highlight the apathy towards politics, especially in the generation which I (Alex) form part of – the youth.”
“‘Anything but Labour or PN’, I often hear them say.”
Borg said that this thinking does not make sense for him as, he notes, many people stop at the word ‘third’ but ignore the other word ‘party’.
“I’m not seeing organisation but fragmentation. I’m not seeing a goal but ‘protagoniżmu’. I’m not seeing alternatives but lots of one-man-shows.”
“In a party, yes, the discussions are heated. And yes, there are differences. But at the end of the day, because there’s lots of ideas, everything is put on a scale and a balance is reached – something I don’t see these third parties doing. Because there’s no mixing of ideas.”
Borg highlighted how he doesn’t always get his way in such matters, but that is the beauty of politics and the Nationalist Party – “that we share ideas.”
He encouraged people, especially the youth, to enter a party and learn what organisation means. “That you represent but also represent your friend’s ideals.”
