The Choice I made

Malta Independent Thursday, 28 February 2008, 00:00 Last update: about 20 years ago

For election day on 8 March, you have a singular decision facing you: Who do you want to be the Prime Minister for the next five years?

If you vote number one on any Nationalist party candidate, it would mean that you want Lawrence Gonzi as your Prime Minister for the next five years. If you vote number one to any other candidate from one of the other parties it would mean that you want Alfred Sant as Prime Minister for the coming five years.

There should be no uncertainty. It is a simple decision although it is one of the most important choices you will be making, for your family, for your children, and for Malta.

I made my choice. I worked very close with Lawrence Gonzi when Alfred Sant was Prime Minister less than 10 years ago, and also in the last four years during which time our country was led by Lawrence Gonzi. I know how hard he works. I am aware of the kind of energy and dedication with which he pursues his tasks. I know how he feels for those who seek him out with their problems. I know first hand about his determination.

Politics for Lawrence Gonzi can be summed up in these words, which he frequently says to all of us who work with him:

“If peoples’ desires are our desires, if peoples’ needs are our needs, if peoples’ aspirations are our aspirations, then the political policies of the Nationalist Party will remain a political winner… and we can only achieve this if we all work together, and if we all, as a party, are close to the people, during their ups and downs, so that our political policies will still make a positive difference in everyone’s lives.”

Lawrence Gonzi is also a family man and a person who adheres to moral principles. His faith and that of his family are the key essentials in his life and his political beliefs. His principles mean that he does not have to change what he believes in according to current trends. He respects the fact that you might not agree entirely with all that he believes in. You always know where you stand with him and he further believes that political debates and ideas that he shares with you help him to enhance his vision and improve the policies he upholds.

Therefore on 8 March I am going to choose Lawrence Gonzi as my Prime Minister. Yes, this is my choice because I believe that together we can grow as one united family…Yes, together everything is possible.
