KURT SANSONE THE Labour Party has strength- ened its electoral lead despite a hostile political climate in the af- termath of Daphne Caruana Gali- zia's murder, a MaltaToday survey has found. The party in government has seen its share of the vote increase by 3.4 percentage points to 49.8% when compared to the results of the October MaltaToday survey, which was done before the assas- sination. Since then, several protests have been held, calling for the removal of the Police Commissioner and the Attorney General, that culmi- nated last week in the European Parliament's approval of a resolu- tion that raised concern on various aspects of the rule of law in Malta. However, none of this seems to have impacted the PL negatively, which according to projections de- rived from the survey would win by a margin of more than 71,000 votes if an election were held now. The survey was conducted be- tween the 13 and 16 November. On the f lipside, the Nationalist Party saw its vote share drop by 1.2 percentage points when com- pared to the October result and now stands at 20.7%. The PN's failure to capitalise on the events of the past month contrasted with the gains made by Alternattiva Demokratika that shot up to 3.1%, an increase of 2.9 points over October. However, this result falls within the margin of error. The Democratic Party, which has two MPs, only faired marginally better than its October performance, obtaining 0.6%, an increase of 0.4 points.
