At the very start of 2025, this site made one thing abundantly clear: it was time to stop defending and start attacking.

We wrote then that the Labour Party could no longer afford to remain passive while its opponents sensed vulnerability. They were smelling blood—and enjoying it. The more they sensed hesitation, the more emboldened they became. We warned that this was a dangerous illusion—that unless Labour woke up from its slumber and reclaimed its political dominance, the damage would grow deeper and more permanent.

We made an appeal: don’t wait—strike first. Go back to doing what Labour has always done best: set the agenda, take the initiative, and hit hard. Because in politics, as in battle, the best defence is a relentless attack.
Today, six months later, the landscape has changed completely. The latest MaltaToday survey, published last Sunday, confirms what we knew would happen: once Labour starts its engine and goes on the offensive, no Opposition is strong enough to withstand the momentum.
The numbers speak for themselves. Labour now enjoys a commanding 13.6-point lead over the Nationalist Party—a gap of 38,802 votes. It is the clearest signal yet that the electorate has responded positively to Labour’s renewed aggression, discipline, and sense of purpose. The PN, by contrast, looks flat-footed, reactive, and confused—again.
This shift is not just statistical. It is strategic. It confirms that Labour’s recalibrated posture—from defence to attack—has reignited its grassroots, reasserted its dominance in national debate, and destabilised the Opposition’s false sense of momentum.
What we are witnessing now is the return of the Labour Party that wins elections—not by hiding in corners or waiting for applause, but by setting the tone, dictating the pace, and forcing the Opposition to play catch-up.
Those who underestimated Labour’s ability to recover underestimated what happens when a movement rooted in resilience decides to fight back. This survey is not just a snapshot of support—it is a warning shot to Labour’s critics: when we fight, we win.
And the fight has only just begun.
