The typical Labour voter identifies him or herself as a Laburist.

Born, bred, and will die a Laburist, no matter what.

On the other hand the “problem” with the PN is that it attracts far more of the sort of person who does not identify as “Nazzjonalist” but as a thinking person who will vote for what he perceives to be the best option.

Naturally this sort of person is not always right in his or her conclusion, but there you have it.

Labour has no such issues. For all they care, most Laburisti would subscribe to a lifetime of voting automatically for the PL, save them the hassle of getting to the polling station or even having to give a damn about what’s going on in the country.
