Welcome to MaltaToday's live-blog of Labour's mass meeting in Naxxar. REFRESH here for updates.

16:15: Time to dig out the roadmap and head back to the office, full report to follow shortly.

16:14: Grech, the Muscats and Abela are not clapping along to the "Malta for all" song in one big karaoke session.

16:10: All four of them are waving to the assembled crowd as ticker tape rains down on them.

16:06: Muscat finishes by declaring that Malta is for all. No surprises there then.

16:03: "For those thinking of abstaining, you are better off voting for this movement. I believe in you" Turning to the crowd, Muscat cries out to them imploring them to encourage those we are still undecided that they have a place within the movement.

16:01: "If others have given up on you, I can say that I trust you. Your belief in me is reciprocated by my belief in you. Nobody has a monopoly on what is right."

15:59: Muscat is calling on youngsters to help him to convey and deliver the true energy of his movement. "Thank you for receiving me so well at Junior College, Higher Secondary and University. Show that you are ready to put your faith in me to lead this country."

15:58: "In front of me I see a sea of faces, I do not see the face of politics."

15:56: MaltaToday has reported that politicians were given presents. What are these presents, Muscat questions.

15:52: "We are going to be much more positive and rise above the negativity. We will be a positive government that does not divide but unites. They used to say that this movement has not proposals. Now they are criticising us and saying that we have too many proposals." Muscat's speech is punctuated by many a dramatic pause..or perhaps his teleprompter is on the blink..

15:46: "Even if you do not agree with us you can still work with us. The strategies of others and their negative politics shows how cut off they are from reality. The attacks are only going to get worse the closer we get to the election."

15:38: Muscat is now on stage. "This country is changing. Join this historic change. The population is indicating that it is time for a change. Let us show that we are proud of both our independence and our republic. These achievements should not have political hues."

15:34: The sun is shining and "New Tomorrow" is on loop. What more could want want? Chants of 'viva il-labour, viva il-labour.' The presenter is now encouraging the crowd to sing'Malta for all.'

15:32: Hello and thanks for joining this live blog. This time the movement has progressively made its way to 21 September Avenue, Naxxar.

Rather than engaging in silly and sarcastic comments it would be better to give a better coverage in these live blogs. To start with you should have made reference to the mammoth crowd present this afternoon in Naxxar.
