Election Race a Potentially Ugly Affair: Time to Buckle Up as a Nation!

As a political commentator, already I have detected (like a good female physician would) clear signs Gibraltar is developing a form of morning sickness that presages a particular situation, with indications that political parties are pregnant with electioneering ideas and bending over backwards and forwards like a supreme contortionist in attempts to win votes, not a strange situation - more of an expected one.

Every citizen wants to have an efficient and progressive government and intelligent well-meaning Parliamentarians. Though we don’t always get what we want, we can at least hope for a better future for Gibraltar, particularly after Brexit is sorted and our own election is also political history.

People are asking themselves whether we will keep on a stable course or whether we will enter a time of uncertainty.

Social media and morning coffee sessions are awash with election forecasters.
