3 maltatoday | SUNDAY • 16 FEBRUARY 2020 NEWS KURT SANSONE ADRIAN Delia achieved a high trust rating among National- ist Party members with 55.7% giving him a score of between eight and 10, according to a MaltaToday survey. This contrasts with the me- dium trust rating achieved by the PN parliamentary group. The survey shows that 54.9% of members awarded the parlia- mentary group a rating of be- tween four and seven. Respondents were asked to rate their level of trust on a scale of one to 10 (one being the lowest and 10 the highest). An- swers were grouped into three categories: low (scores between one and three); medium (be- tween four and seven); and high (between eight and 10). Delia managed to achieve ab- solute majorities in the high category in all electoral dis- tricts apart from the Ninth and the Tenth. In the Ninth District that in- cludes Msida and Swieqi, 43.2% of PN members classified Delia in the high category as opposed to 40%, who gave him a medi- um trust rating. The Tenth District emerged once again as the most prob- lematic for the PN leader, with a relative majority of party members (39.9%), giving him a low trust rating, as opposed to 39.5% who gave him a high rating. Delia's strongest trust levels are in the southern districts. In the Second District, 73.8% of PN members gave Delia a high trust rating. This strong show- ing was followed by that in the Fourth District where 65.2% of tesserati gave Delia a high rat- ing. In Gozo, 58.2% of PN mem- bers gave Delia a high rating. These figures contrast with those of the parliamentary group where Delia faced a re- bellion over the past two weeks. Across all districts, the prin- ciple trust rating of the parlia- mentary group fell within the medium category. This suggests that even in those districts where Delia's trust rating wanes and the call for his resignation is highest, party members can only muster a moderate level of trust in the parliamentary group. This is possibly a reflection of the major problem that mem- bers have identified for the PN's lacklustre performance – lack of unity (see separate arti- cle).
