From my article in The Sunday Times today:
“The prime minister now warns 18-year-old voters that they must find a minister to fix their driving test for them. Because that’s the way politics is done in Malta and the prime minister said he would disagree with any other way. I don’t think that’s a recycled development of news. I think Abela has never been so explicit. When he came to office, stumbling over the rubble of the collapse of Muscat, he said he would guarantee the rule of law and hand down good governance. How far he’s come.”
