Joseph Muscat gets hero’s welcome in Cottonera on sixth day of campaign

Feb 27 2022

As Malta’s political parties continue to campaign in the lead-up to the March 26 election, former Prime Minister Joseph Muscat has been making a number of appearances at various Labour Party events across Malta and Gozo.

In his recent Cottonera visit, Muscat was given a hero’s welcome, greeted by a roar of cheers and applause as he headed to a campaign activity organised by Labour Whip Glenn Bedingfield. As he addressed the crowds, Muscat stated that the biggest advantage built by the Labour Party is its unity, going on to appeal to attendees to let no one break them apart.

The former Prime Minister praised the government’s recent work and encouraged the people of Cottonera to, like him, vote for the Labour Party on March 26.

Surveys: Labour set to win with 23,000 to 45,000 vote difference

Feb 27 2022

Surveys issued by Times of Malta and MaltaToday indicate that the Labour Party is still in the lead, no matter the voter difference noted by the two different methodologies.

A survey commissioned by Times of Malta (TOM) has revealed that the Labour Party is set to win an election by around 44,500, even though a fifth of the electorate remains non-committal.

A total of 56.2% of the electorate would vote Labour whereas 42.4% prefer the Nationalist Party. Around 1.4% claim they will vote for smaller parties, according to this survey.

This gap is around 3% higher for the PL over the victory it achieved back in the 2017 election. Around 21% of respondents did not say who they would vote for, down from 27%.

Looking at the first survey of the electoral campaign commissioned by MaltaToday, an election now would see the Labour Party win with an advantage of around 23,000 votes at 52.5%.

The PN’s support stands at around 44.9%, with that of other small parties standing collectively at 2.6%. According to this survey, Robert Abela’s trust rating continued to decline, standing at 41.9%.

Bernard Grech however did not fill in any point lost by Abela as his rating too dropped, standing at 29%. Despite this, the Times of Malta survey shows that Abela still enjoys the rating of most preferred leader within his party and the electoral race as a whole.

The TOM survey indicated that younger voters lean more towards Abela, with 60% of those aged 16 to 24 preferring the current prime minister. Around 55% say that PL should stay in government whereas 33% think they should be shown the door.

Despite the different methodologies applied, it does seem that both surveys indicate another win for the Labour Party. However, the electoral campaigns are just kicking off in full gear and we’ll have to wait for the 26th of March to see.
