Adrian Delia, one of the candidates for the post of PN Leader, said that if he is elected leader he will "immediately open discussions in the Parliamentary Group to decide what moral and ethical issues will see PN MPs given a free vote in Parliament."

Delia was addressing party members and councillors during separate meetings that form part of his campaign tour. 

"This is an important step to take so as everyone will feel at peace with their values and no one will be pressured to vote against his/her conscience."

"After deciding on what we shall be giving a free-vote in parliament, we shall go to the party in government and also to the Democratic Party and urge them to join us and declare a free-vote on these issues. This is to eliminate partisan politics on such ethical and moral issues."

"Undoubtedly, the Nationalist Party always prioritized the importance of discussing what we really stand for. The party always believed in exercising freedom of speech since its birth," he said.

"Some want to label us liberal or conservative, right-wing or left-wing, the workers' party or the elite's. These labels mean nothing to us as the PN always was and will remain a bastion of democracy, a hub of ideas for the human's development and a refuge to the worker, whatever the background," claims Delia. 

"How can you label us conservatives when it was the Nationalist Party whom back in the 1950s fought for and achieved Independence? How can you call us liberals when we built our party on Demo-Christian values? The PN's strength lies in the fact that we were always able to unify diversity within the party. Reciprocal respect was always one of the party's pillars."
