14 maltatoday | SUNDAY • 12 MAY 2019 NEWS EUROPEAN ELECTIONS the first count, a decrease of 0.31 over April. The Nationalist Party will have 2.67 quotas, an increase of 0.04. This gives the PN two solid seats but the third seat won by a thin margin five years ago will be lost. The projections show that the PL is on course to win four seats, against the PN's two. The Democratic Party, Alternat- tiva Demokratika and Imperium Europa will together have 0.28 of a quota, or just above 11,000 votes. This is not enough to secure either of them a seat. Although the PL saw its voting share increase over the past month, the PN made bigger gains to close the gap marginally. The exercise is based on declared voting intention and does not at- tribute party preference to those who said they were unsure who to vote for in the upcoming May elec- tion. Malta has six seats in the Euro- pean Parliament and in 2014 the PN managed to clinch its third seat by a few hundred votes at the end of the vote counting process. So far, the PN appears unable to repeat that feat. To do so, the PN needs to avoid vote haemor- rhage during the transfer process, gain votes from third party and PL candidates that are eliminated and hope that the PL loses votes along the way through non-transference. KURT SANSONE THE Labour Party is still holding on to a fourth seat in the European Parliament but the latest projec- tion gives it a less comfortable margin. New predictions based on the May MaltaToday survey published last week, show that the PL will have 4.06 quotas under its belt at How May's MaltaToday survey is giving Labour just over four quotas Labour holds on to fourth seat with thinner margin MP's clinic vandalised AN unnamed individual inten- tionally caused a flood inside Democratic Party leader God- frey Farrugia's clinic, the MP said yesterday. The PD MP, also running for MEP, uploaded a video to Face- book showing his flooded clinic. "All acts of vandalism and hate speech is [sic] deplorable... A BIG NO to physical, verbal or electronic bullying," he said. The MP told MaltaToday this was not the first time his clinic had been targeted, adding that a decision had been taken to lock the bathrooms after someone attempted to block the toilet by forcing two paper rolls down the drain. This time, the upstairs bathroom had been targeted, with the perpetrators blocking the sink before turning on the tap at the end of the day. Farrugia said he would not be filing a police report. "I'm willing to forgive anyone." PD deputy leader Timothy Al- den said the attack came on the back of a series of attacks on the party. "So our FB page is at- tacked, trolls targeting us with degrading comments, one of our candidates physically attacked, our billboards vandalised, now Farrugia's clinic flooded on pur- pose… Vote for the democracy you want to live in."
