2. The Internecine Warfare

There’s cracks in the party and now it’s a show for everyone to see. The Nationalist party was not only the main party to suffer from this general vote of no confidence in the system. For the first time ever the cracks and faults within the flailing structure of the party from Triq Herbert Ganado were clear for all to see. It was unclear what the party was running for, who was running the campaign and whether the party had a clear vision to sell.

The cherry on the cake was the very evident lack of teamwork for the campaign. The drawn-out saga of inherited votes showed, among many other pointers in this undecipherable campaign, that there was little passing of votes between PN candidates. Pick’n’mix did not only not work but it backfired.

Lastly the hero status of Simon Busuttil might have been useful to garner 68,000+ ones but seriously dented the chances of other candidates from putting on an appearance of their own – and probably led to some campaign gimmicks and statements that are best forgotten.
