Dr Lawrence Gonzi and Dr Joseph Muscat should agree that Malta’s National Day should be 8 September, which is publicly known as Victory Day. That date will definitely unite the Maltese nation once and for all.

In fact we should incorporate Independence Day, Republic Day, Freedom Day and Victory Day into one big feast and all celebrate together in a big way all these four great memorable feasts as one nation on 8 September.

Having a National Day on 21 September and/or on 31 March will not unite the Maltese nation.

It is about time we all change our attitudes and stop acting like children.
