My comment is simple.
A) I do not like the foreign word which was chosen to present a Maltese political party. While I understand the meaning of ‘Momentum’, it does not inspire in me any Maltese movement.
B) I believe that new parties are not going to make any difference so I better stay with my colour and not take any chances….. unless
C) The members who want to run my dear country, thus my life will not carry a specific title behind their name; that of Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Politics and Governance which unfortunetly none of the members of any new party can present because such 3 year course is going to begin in Malta’s University in October 2025. Taking such course in Malta, not in any other country is imperative for future politicians, and is what’s makes most sense to me.
