Talk:Labour Party (Malta)

message: "Recently (2005) a new party has emerged out of the Malta Labour Party - bearing the same abbreviated name - MLP - with the name MOVIMENT LABURISTA POPOLARI."  Why was this removed? It removes neutrality if removed.

:I know this topic is almost 2 decades old however in case anyone else was curious, here are 2 sources citing the formation of Moviment Laburista Popolari/Popular Labour Movement https://timesofmalta.com/articles/view/new-labour-movement-launched.87830 https://www.independent.com.mt/articles/2005-06-08/local-news/New-%E2%80%98MLP%E2%80%99-Born-76499. It was founded by Anna Mallia and was Eurosceptic in nature. I cannot find any news about them from after June 2005 nor can I find any information on them being registered as a political party. Mallia has since endorsed Labour Party candidates so it's safe to assume Moviment Laburista Popolari never went anywhere. They aren't mentioned in the article here and in my opinion they aren't notable enough to mention anyway. Dahna2024 (talk) 09:01, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: No, you have to explain where the non-neutral point of view is; what is the problem?  It's not enough to stick a label on the article and then say no more than that you think it's PoV. --Mel Etitis  (Μελ Ετητης) 21:29, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

This was done succesfully. Maltesedog 08:20, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Could someone with knowledge of Maltese politics please split both this and the Nationalist Party article into sections describing their history and their current politics, respectively? Right now it seems a bit.. cluttered, and I'm certainly not the right person to fix it since I have no idea about Maltese politics. Joffeloff 13:06, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sections 

message: The MLP was founded in 1949. True, there was a Labour Party between 1921 and 1949 (something which the article acknowledges) but there is a distinction between the two parties including leaders, structure, purpose and symbols. For this reason I'm reverting the recent changes.

1. The percentage difference between the number of votes gained by the PN and the MLP is not very relevant here and will become less so as the legislature progresses. In fact, we do not include the difference in the respective histories of the parties whether it was minimal (2008) or considerable (1992). This information should be included under the respective articles on the general elections and I'm sure you'll be happy to note that this point is made in the 2008 elections article.
2. There will be sixty-nine MPs in the next Parliament. I have provided the link to the names as listed in a recent Malta Independent article and I will hopefully provide a link to the President's writ once this is published in the Government Gazette. Your constant reverting to "sixty-five" (when the numbers are 35 MPs for the PN and 34 for the MLP) and removal of the reference constitutes vandalism.
3. Same thing goes for your constant removal of the reference to the official summary of results of the elections.

message: What's the point of having a section "2008-present" and "Today"? How about merging them?

thread_title:  Plagiarism/Copyright 

message: Am suggesting:
1. Removing content of the section Leaders of the Labour Party as there is already an article (linked to): List of Malta Labour Party leaders.
2. Splitting the section on Labour's Electoral performance and merging it with Elections in Malta as the contents are of general interest.

If the logo keeps on being removed I will try requesting semi protection, as this seems to be coming from people without logins. I Strongly urge whoever is responsible for making such changes to discuss the matter here.

message: Dear Wikipedians,
as I am currently finishing my diploma thesis about Malta, I would like to point out on one interesting fact. I analysed Chapel Hill Expert Survey data (https://www.chesdata.eu/ - dataset from 2019/2020) and both MLP and PN were marked as a centre to centre-right parties (MLP as liberal, PN as conservative).
Please, feel free to check out enclosed political compass (X-axis economical left/right, Y-axis liberal/conservative):
https://i.snipboard.io/tQEHzq.jpg (sorry, description is in the Czech language)
:I wouldn't call them centre-right but I believe they are centre to centre-left. Democratic socialism was removed from the ideology section for good reason because they party are most definitely not socialist in any way. I think neoliberal or third way, as they are currently listed as, is a good descriptor. Socially they are not particularly centre-right, economically slightly moreso. Regarding that survey data I personally don't know how to analyse it - the researchers did make a list saying by what criteria they determined a party's position. In general though, the political compass is not a particularly good descriptor of a lot of political positions. Also just a small reminder to sign your posts on talk pages by writing 4 tildes (~) at the end of your post. :) Dahna2024 (talk) 16:34, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
