This is what I had said in my interview with the Times of Malta:
He said there were many “genuine Nationalists” who wanted to defect to Labour but were afraid they would not be accepted or believed. Urging supporters not to push away these people, he said: “They might be asking: who will believe us and look out for us? And I tell them: Joseph Muscat will.”
He is kind of admitting it himself, isn't he? "Genuine nationalists" who want to vote Labour will just vote Labour when election day comes, since we live in a free democracy where your vote can be kept to yourself. Those who want to be believed that they will vote Labour are "opportunist nationalists", the ones who use their vote to get the undeserved favours they are asking for. And these are the ones who are finding the support of the Labour Party.
Are you saying that younger people are more mature?
I think they look for substance more than what is in it for them personally.
We hear a lot about disgruntled Nationalists, for instance. But while many have good reason to be disgruntled, others use their vote to try and threaten politicians for personal favours. Unfortunately, some of these are finding support from the Labour Party.
