@Thanks for pointing that out, Fausto. The newspapers are full of references to by-elections.

Small correction: in Malta we do not have by-elections but casual elections.

Well I think that the MLP doesn’t need any help as to what the terms for a Party and/or Opposition leader are – They’ve been in opposition for so long now they must be experts at what are the rules and regulations for that side of parliament :D

Hey … an appeal to genuine Labourites who don’t want to be led by poodles and stooges of Alfred Sant. This is our last time to unite so that a sensible person leads our party.

I think the answer is that the President has discretion here. Of course, if the Labour party is wise enough to offer CM as an interim leader, he’ll be conventionally bound to agree.

@No idea. It doesn’t follow. But we’re likely to be kept entertained way past 5 June.

Daph, I would believe that would be Mangion, since he’s Acting MLP leader, no?
