My father always advocated that one should vote for individuals rather than the political parties they are affiliated to.
I’ve often wondered if my father was right in reasoning the way he did and, now, in view of recent developments, the question seems even more pertinent.
I can certainly see where my father’s logic comes from but I still firmly believe in the importance of voting for a party that represents our values regardless of the individual candidates within it.
It is fundamental that we choose which party to vote for based on what it is planning to offer the Maltese and Gozitans.
