      Surely, with current technology there are more cost effective ways for people to exercise their democratic rights?

      What is sad is that noone really talks about what all these cars are doing to people who live in both Gozo and Malta. The head of the country must do something to limit the amount of cars there are. Here in New York City the mayor divided all the streets of New York. Many drivers were so upset but he didn’t care. He said he cared more about what the pollution was doing to everyone

      Surely online voting would be the easiset, most cost-effective and environmentally friendly way to vote if overseas. This alternative seems excessive and antiquated.
