PN’s strategy brought new faces ‘but not new votes’, says Clyde Puli

Apr 8 2022

Former Nationalist Party secretary general Clyde Puli has stated that while the PN’s strategy to sideline members of the old guard may have worked to elect new faces but failed to win new votes.

In a recent Facebook post, Puli highlighted that while the PN gained a number of new MPs, it did not gain votes, shining a light on the PN’s 12,000 lost votes from 2017.

The seasoned politician argued that such a strategy impacted every district except the 2nd and 3rd, where Stephen Spiteri contested, with the first-elected PN candidate being a new face.

Puli did not contest the 2022 general election and together with Kristy Debono, Mario Galea and Claudio Grech, withdrew his candidature on the first day of the electoral campaign.

Stating that he is “not rushing” into it, Radcliffe told magazine Insider that he thinks he would be a “natural fit” for the web-slinger role after it was done by three very good actors, calling Tom Holland “incredible and [that] no one could ever replace him.”

Despite not mentioning the franchise by name, Radcliffe was probably referring to Holland’s Spider-Man role within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield and Holland himself all played the role of everyone’s favourite friendly neighbourhood superhero between 2002 and 2021.

Could you imagine Radcliffe playing the Spider-Man role?
