Small political parties in Malta: Some reflections

During these past days, I articulated some reflections and questions related to the development of two new political parties in Malta. 

Together with Harry Vassallo, I was interviewed by Daniel Attard (Times of Malta) about whether a third party can penetrate Malta’s two-party dominance. The article was published today on the online version of Times of Malta, and it appeared on the print version last Wednesday 1 January. You can read the interview here.

I also penned down some questions on this blog, which were subsequently taken up by Tim Diacono (Lovin' Malta), and which were also engaged with by the Partit Malta Progressiva. You can read the respective news articles here and here
