    Alex Borg the new leader of PN or another loser?


    If the Maltese ever needed proof about the schism within the moribund opposition party this election hammers it home. Alex Borg won this farcical election by a minimal margin of 44 votes and 50.1% of the total votes cast while 49.9% voted in favour of Adrian Delia. If one takes into consideration that 14% did not cast their votes, the number of invalid votes and the 49.9% of votes cast in favour of Adrian Delia this means that the majority of PN paid up members eligible to vote are not in favour of Alex Borg. This proves also that the PN has its’ own cohort of "ghans". Malta needs a strong united opposition party but instead we have been regaled with a circus. Keep on digging.

      so now LP r guaranteed a victory next election. after that 5 years will not be enough for pn to restructure so that means the following election will be lost too by PN. unless LP does a huge qassata. that qassata might be the random drug testing for drivers if enforced

      Two shit options for voters this year: Labour status quo vs Nationalist trump supporter. Yay

      Too early to say, I assume people voted for him because they wanted a fresh face, and he is as fresh as can be contesting a leadership contest.

      Voting for Delia did not mean that they are necessarily against Borg – it simply means they preferred Delia. Combining Delia’s votes with non-voters and calling it “farcical” is a bit of a stretch. Especially considering both Delia and Borg were seen as so similar in terms of political views.

      The greater issue is that a huge portion of the party who supported the ousting of delia and wanted Metsola to contest so desperately had to “settle” for either Borg or Delia, and there was no third choice.
