If the surveys are correct and Alex Borg is actually ahead of Adrian Delia in the PN leadership race, it suggests that Nationalist Party members are warming to Labour’s memetic political vision as presented by Alex Borg. Alex Borg will be doubling-down on Labour’s political vision and effectively continue dumbing down Maltese politics.
I’m not usually fond of conspiracy thinking or even speculation. I’m taking Alex Borg as he is and according to what he is saying. I don’t expect him to change if he is elected PN leader. Alex Borg is a politician timestamped after 2019 with Labour’s characteristics and far-right values. The Shift News is reporting is that he doesn’t want to disclose his source of financing, and his behaviour is very much consistent with his endorsement of the construction lobby with all its influence and power in politics and the economy.
Meanwhile, Ricky Caruana is being rumoured to have been earmarked for a slot in TVM. Along with Saviour Balzan, the public broadcaster will provide us with the political debates in which the main political adversaries will act all chummy with their host and even each other as they spread their positivity.
It’s all going downhill if you ask me. Ousting Labour from power should come with an alternative vision of politics and an opposition mentality: something that Adrian Delia seems to be offering right now. Alex Borg is the option when you give up on the future and choose the any better-looking alternative: a situation many of us already experienced by supporting Joseph Muscat, and many of us are surely very weary about making the same mistake again.
