The question on most people’s minds is “when is the general election?”.
Following a budget that has been positively received across all areas of Maltese society and the visit of Pope Francis postponed until early next year, speculation is rife that Prime Minister Robert Abela could call a November election.

That could be the ideal time to announce an early election.
Late November seems to be a time favoured by most media pundits.
Recent surveys suggest a 50,000 majority for Labour.
Prime Minister Robert Abela has many factors to consider and for now, at least, he is keeping his thoughts and his cards close to his chest.
