Is anyone really surprised by the findings on date rape in Malta that came out today? If they are then they've had their head in the sand ... or they're the Nationalist Government.
While we've been busy building up our economy and joining the EU, which I belive were good things, one of the things that has increasingly bugged me about the PN is the complete failureto tackle social issues like racism, gay rights, and the fact that women are still secodn class citizens - just look at the way the debate on abortion is conducted.
It's the price we pay for having a Government which is too busy boasting about how Catholic it is but only that type of Catholicism that makes some people believe they are the only ones who have access to the truth.
We need to refocus on looking after people who are disadvantaged in our society and to help those who are treated badly, and have been for so long, to come out from the shadows. To help the weak in society, you really need a party that has social democracy at its heart.
