1. Malta First. Regardless of whether you’re from one faction or the other, Nationalist or Labourite, our goal must be the well-being of the Maltese and Gozitan people.

Anyone who genuinely has Malta at heart should feel welcome to contribute to the Nationalist Party. Let’s be proud of our country.

2. There are genuine people and less genuine ones in both parties. Let’s stop thinking we’re all saints and all Labourites are crooks. Love for our country should be the reason why people with different beliefs unite under our movement.

3. Speak less, listen more. Often in life, the biggest lessons come from the humblest people in society.

4. Everyone matters. From the smallest worker, to the pensioner, the student, the property developer, and the entrepreneur. We all need to pull the same rope for this country to succeed.

5. If we want people to trust us, we must be transparent and honest with them. Within six months, the new Leader should ensure that the Party’s accounts are published with full honesty and transparency.

6. Let’s realize the world has changed. The way we delivered our message in the 1980s no longer applies. Today’s youth aren’t interested in the party emblem or who their parents supported. They want a vision for themselves and their country, presented attractively on digital platforms like Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.

7. A vision for Malta. The Nationalist Party always won when it had a vision; Independence, freedom and democracy, EU membership. Our vision today? Artificial intelligence.

If we harness it wisely and to its full potential, in the coming years we can raise the quality of life in ways very few are truly realising or imagining.
