That’s because Labour supporters are cool, and cool undergrads don’t vote.

Nationalist supporters are nerds, and nerds will vote because they see it as their duty.

That’s all it is, really. If you had to carry out a poll on general national policy, you’ll find there are more Labour supporters than anti-Labour.

“Wouldn’t happen at University”.

“How wrong you are. University, like MCAST, is mostly made up of the 18-15 cohort. And that cohort is now mostly Labour.”

And yet Pulse (practically unofficially affiliated with Labour) have never managed to get the majority of votes needed in the KSU elections in recent years.

The PN definitely doesn’t have the budgetary resources to compete with the PL campaign exposure. I’ve seen PN candidates promote themselves individually but PN as a party – not so much.

Il-Parlament “Ewropej” x’jahbat?

MCAST reiterates its position that it does not tolerate partisan political campaigning on its premises. Immediate steps were taken to remove the posters which were put up and measures will be taken to ensure that such an incident is not repeated.

Let’s take a deep breath and deconstruct.

“Majority”.

There’s no majority, because this isn’t a sample of random variables. MCAST is organically Labour. It couldn’t be otherwise. It is the physical embodiment of the disgusting socialism that had become the Nationalist Party’s credo under Lawrence Gonzi. If you wish to talk about majorities, then 100% would be close to the mark.

“Students”.

What students? Let’s call them by their name. Very few of them are students. Most are pupils or apprentices. MCAST is a vocational college, PR notwithstanding.

“Labour families”.

What families? It is the pupils/students themselves who are Labour. They genuinely believe in it. They voted Labour. They argue Labour. They live and breathe Labour values. It is wrong to assume that they made up their mind based on their parents’ political choice. They made it up themselves, and chose labour.

“Wouldn’t happen at University”.

How wrong you are. University, like MCAST, is mostly made up of the 18-15 cohort. And that cohort is now mostly Labour.

Simon Busuttil would like it to be otherwise, but it isn’t. It is now cool to be Labour. Young is cool, and the young are Labour.

The only reason those posters haven’t been put up at the University of Malta is because they haven’t been put up yet. You’ll see.

[Daphne – That’s just what I was thinking.]
