Nine percentage points

The capture of the governing Nationalist Party by the faction led by anonymous 'strategists' has been a very successful political suicide operation. For several weeks, supporters of the unpopular PN were consistently told to feel reassured by the presence of the totemic figure of PrimeMinister Laurence Gonzi at the elbow of the Joe Saliba directed 'strategists'. Following the results of the local council elections won by the Malta Labour Party by a huge margin (MLP 53% - PN 44%), it will be easy to discover the identity of these few male individuals on whom the unfortunate Gonzi relies - just look whos running fastest in the coming days to escape the rage of delusioned PN supporters.

Nine percentage points are a huge margin by Maltese standards but predictably Di-ve.com euphemistically calls the result "another mid-term election setback for the PN"
