Labour deputy leader Charles Mangion launched a personal website – www.mangioncharles.com – at a youth activity organised in a wine bar in Tarxien on Friday.

Dr Mangion is by no means the first MP or candidate to have a personalised website but one is struck by the fact that this means of communication looks like being the preferred tool for politicians to keep in touch with their constituents.

Dr Mangion recorded a message to young people that can be accessed on the website and he also intends to include the various articles he writes.
