The Next Five Years

            Have you ever thought of  how your life would be like in five years time ? Did your life change ,for the better or the worse in the past five years ? And if it did change ,was it your own doing or someones s else decisions which affected you life?

In five years things really change .You always want to change for the better . If it is not for yourself ,it is for the ones closest to you .Especially those who still depend on you .
In these coming five years you will have to make personal decisions which can alter the direction of your life .In these coming five years you will have to adjust your direction because of unforeseen circumstances which will require your immediate attention .

Some of us have became parents or grandparents ,have changed jobs ,have embarked into new carriers with more responsibility ,have passed through illness ,opened business ,etc all this in five years.
In 5 years time things can happen to you which are not entirely of your own doing and which can result in hardships or a painful change in direction .

What is important in all this, is that if there is a change in your direction, it is your own decisions and not imposed on you by man- made external forces which could hinder your path,your direction ,your aim in life. Obviously i am hinting at government induced forces.  A generation has suffered because of bad government decisions

In these 5 years, your life could change with bad government decisions ,and they can change drastically

Can you just imagine ,today ,our small Island literally surrounded by countries who are barely surviving. Greece and Cyprus on one side, Italy and France on top, Spain and Portugal on the other side, Libya and Egypt below us. We, at the centre of the Mediterranean, proudly holding our heads up. most of us disbelieving that this is really us . Yes ,this is us, The Maltese People .

Can someone ask how could this be possible ? Can someone really acknowledge that this government under PN had some say in all this. That policies whether economic ,foreign ,social had a direct impact on averting disaster and that if the unthinkable had occurred, Labour in government from 1998 onwards, we would have been pleading for help due to wrong directions taken by the than future Labour governments. The world economic bust occurred in a matter of months and pulled down, one country after another and it was past PN policies, and also immediate government intervention, which saved us all.

Now we come to the next five years.The question is are we clear of the danger ? Is it still lurking around trying to plunge us down ? United Kingdom is talking of a triple dip. Can you really trust Labour with managing this country for the next five years ? They have good economists on paper but when it comes to their own ideas ,they are so radically different that you don t know whether Malta would become a superpower under their governance or end up worse than Spain .Not one of their brilliant economists pointed to flaws in the Labour Party s idea of the New Power Station and reduction in electricity and water tariffs . We are hearing a lot about a change in management systems which is ideal ,but this will not avert economic disaster. SMS messaging for Law Court deferments are ideal but do not deal with jobs ,with economic growth. A tablet at school as depicted by Labour is just a toy and therefore a waste of money .Will this bring better students ? Look at PN s idea of IT in education .

PN has been tried and tested and got results . It is battle hardened .It has new blood .It has experience which ,at this moment in time is paramount to withstand any new onslaught .

This brings us to an exciting  five year plan which encompasses what we have today and what we need to overcome tomorrows challenges.( Qabza Ohra ta Kwalita: PN electoral programme ) New ideas which centre around PN s ideals .The "untouchables"
Education ,Jobs,Health . These three words signify The Family . A strong family means a strong society and a strong society means a strong Malta .
That is what we PN believe in and strive to achieve. A strong Family with education at its foundation ,good jobs as a base and health as its pillar .
