We the people ...

Since the Second World War, tonight's will be only the third parliamentary vote of confidence asked by a Maltese prime minister in his government. 

The first was George Borg Olivier's in the 1950s and the second was Alfred Sant's in 1998. Although Borg Olivier survived his, the government he led collapsed soon afterwards. Sant's government did not survive .
 
All this puts tonight's vote in sharp, perhaps even historic, relief.

Bondi+ will go on air live tonight, 15 minutes after the vote is taken.

Who are your guests for tonight.

Technically in 1998 it was not a confidence vote but a normal vote which Sant considered as a confidence vote.He chose to call an election out of his own will.

This time this is an actual vote of confidence and thus if it fails to get the majority there will be no other option rather than the formation of a new government and maybe elections
