	Alfred Sant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alfred Sant (born February 28, 1948) is a Maltese politician, who served as Prime Minister of Malta between 1996 and 1998.
		Sant was also critical of what he called a "sham referendum" insisting that a general election would be enough to settle this issue.
		Eventually, Alfred Sant was instrumental for the MLP General Conference to approve the proposed EU Constitution in July 2005, paving the way for unanimous parliamentary ratification at a time when the Constitution had just been rejected by the French and Dutch referenda.

		To the Alfred Sant comment that his intention is to kick start the economy, Mr Dalli responded: "The economy is not kick started with such gimmicks.
		Mr Dalli described Alfred Sant’s projections as a pie in the sky.
		The reality is that with Alfred Sant in Government, our growth will plunge as our international credibility is destroyed and the political risk that will be put on our country will go sky high.

	Nationalist Party Manifesto
		Alfred Sant has cut the budgets of local councils, instead of increasing their competence, because it is clear that he is not happy about the possibility of the decentralisation of power.
		Alfred Sant has single-handedly raised the cost of living, with his confused and confusing tax system, the expenses he has heaped upon businesses, and his removal of the refunds system.
		Alfred Sant promised women that they would not have to leave their homes to go to work, because he would chop down the cost of living so drastically that one wage packet would be enough.

	REFERENDUM ON MALTA’S MEMBERSHIP TO THE EUROPEAN UNION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Right now, Alfred Sant is defending the idea of a partnership with the Union rather than membership, pleading for the status of an associate State that would enable Malta to maintain its privileged links with the USA but above all with Libya.
		Alfred Sant also lays emphasis on the country’s size as a reason to reject membership: “The Union’s rules were designed for large mainland countries and will be a heavy burden for a small island such as Malta.” The Labour Party is advising its electorate to vote “no” and even to boycott the referendum.
		Alfred Sant suggested last week for the referendum to be postponed until after the general elections in September this year and for the result to be confirmed only if at least 60% of the electorate choose to vote “yes” or “no”.

		Alfred Sant's view was a more progressive one, preparing it for the transition which the passage of time had made necessary.
		Critics of Alfred Sant claim that after the March, 2003 Referendum, he should have seen the writing on the wall and changed the MLP's policy towards one of pro-EU membership and, thus, would have steered the MLP towards an electoral victory.
		Alfred Sant continued telling the people the truth after the Referendum, even if it was not in his interests to do so.

		Alfred Sant risks confirming his reputation as Dr No. Having been the same leader who said no to the EU and no to VAT, Alfred Sant could end up driving his own party into another brick wall.
		Alfred Sant could also afford to oppose the early adoption of the euro if his party manages to send the right message to pro-EU Labourites and floating voters by voting in favour of the EU’s constitutional treaty.
		The fact that former finance minister Lino Spiteri is on the same wavelength as Alfred Sant on this issue shows that Sant is not as isolated as he was on the removal of VAT and the EU.

	Maltese parliament unanimously ratifies EU Constitutional treaty
		Sant said his Labour Party, unlike the Nationalist Party, had carried out a thorough internal debate on the implications of the EU Constitutional treaty and had decided to vote for ratification, with five reservations.
		These concerned, mainly, the safeguarding of Malta's neutrality, which meant that a future Labour government would refuse to allow Malta to take part in a projected European Army, and on condition that the Constitutional treaty did not prevail over articles which were entrenched in the Maltese Constitution.
		Sant agreed with Frendo that the ratification process should go on.

	GENERAL ELECTIONS IN MALTA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		When the official results of the referendum were announced, Alfred Sant did indeed contest the validity of the election claiming that "the "yes" did not record an absolute majority of those on the electoral role".
		Indeed if the Labour Party wins the general elections its leader, Alfred Sant will probably not sign the treaty (since the referendum was not restricting, a Labour government may officially ignore the Maltese vote on 8th March).
		However it would have to organise a new referendum offering the Maltese the choice between a partnership with the EU (giving Malta the status of Associate State, that according to Labour would enable the country to preserve its privileged links with Libya) and total membership.
