The 55-year-old bi-party system has led to the political shambles we have today. Politicians are meant to serve the people and society. However, certain dishonest and greedy businessmen control certain MPs, from both parties, and even ministers who, on their part, have reduced what is supposed to be the noble vocation of politics to an exercise in greed, nepotism, cronyism and favouritism.

Today, a number of our institutions do not favour the common man on the street. The big fish keep swallowing the small. Inequality rules.

This has led to a good number of Maltese having to struggle all their life to make ends meet. All this is unfair and unjust.

The Maltese electorate has the choice of breaking this toxic mould of politics by electing to parliament, independent and third party candidates with real values, whose hallmark is honesty, integrity, credibility and consistency. If this does not happen, we will have much more of the same.
