Nationalist MP Joe Cassar will be heading the Nationalist Partys new commission on Maltese society, that will be providing the party with scientific and sociological inquiries into social trends.

Opposition leader Simon Busuttil today announced the committee's composition, which comprises Dr Edward Curmi, Marisa Vella, Dr Reueben Balzan, Dr Roberta Lepre, television presenter Peppi Azzopardi, Stepahnia Dimech Sant, and academic Dr Simon Mercieca.

The commission will be research social trends and the way various groups of Maltese perceive the PN.

"The PN is looking to become more representative of Maltese society, so this commission will be an important tool for the party to remain updated and respond to the needs and aspirations of the Maltese and Gozitans," Busuttil said.

"Both our policy and actions have to be built on the foundations of today's society, so that we can welcome more people in coming forward to contribute to the Nationalist Party."

Why do the PN keep shooting themselves in the feet? Great choice, wonder who was the genius who came up with it.This will be PN's slogan for the next 5 yrs- "IDEAS OUT OF STOCK"

THIS group (me) perceives the PN as insincere and totally double faced. Want some more?

An open admission by the PN that in government they lost touch with the realities of Maltese and Gozitan families!

First - Nationalists think tank should think how to compensate those people that you have ruined their lives including those of their families during your REGIME.

You had 23 years to do it.To late now.The bigges contributer was Dr Franco Debono.You lost him.

The time when last legislature budgets were used to fool and alienate voters only to dump them after the elections may not be over yet but sure the last elections results show that the Maltese electorate has become more diverse and more sophisticated than shortsighted politicians who used to take it for granted.

I think that the title should read 'Former Minister to chair PN's new Think Junk'.
