The fact that the parliamentary group can only muster a high trust rating of 13.4% is also in- dicative of the level of disquiet among mem- bers with the shenanigans of the past three years. Within this contest, Grech's candidature appears to be the compromise between Delia and a fractured parliamentary group. Potential candidates have until tomorrow to register their interest in contesting the leader- ship. So far, only Delia and Grech have done so and unless someone else decides to throw their name in the ring, the race will be decided directly by party members. However, to be eligible for the contest, can- didates would first have to pass a due diligence test. Methodology 466 respondents opted to participate in this survey of Nationalist Party members between Monday 3 August and Friday 7 August 2020. Stratified random sampling based on gender, age and electoral district was used to repli- cate as close as possible the party membership base. 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Gozo Northern Northern Harbour South Eastern Southern Harbour Western 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% 28.3% 25.6% 16.2% 11.5% 46.5% 23.5% 7.5% 9.2% 66.6% 26.0% 22.9% 27.2% 43.1% 60.0% 8.2% 5.7% 9.0% 61.4% 13.5% 11.0% 12.4% 47.6% 30.2% 6.3% 47.6% 30.2% 6.3% 47.5% 12.0% 25.9% 43.8% 25.8% 13.0% 7.6% 34.4% 12.7% 27.3% 8.7% 6.0% 46.8% 19.8% 9.3% 14.9% 40.2% 16.7% 12.0% 6.3% 12.3% All Male Female 16-35 36-50 51-65 65+ Primary Secondary Post-Sec Tertiary 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Gozo Northern 50.8% 12.8% 12.4% 8.6% 7.6% 56.9% 11.1% 9.0% 8.0% 9.4% 44.4% 14.7% 16.0% 9.2% 5.8% 56.6% 11.3% 10.1% 5.4% 11.2% 53.3% 5.8% 10.6% 17.2% 9.1% 45.4% 15.4% 19.6% 7.1% 6.0% 51.7% 14.6% 9.0% 8.9% 9.0% 51.4% 18.1% 11.1% 12.4% 43.0% 18.1% 13.9% 10.8% 8.1% 53.4% 11.0% 18.0% 8.0% 63.7% 7.1% 9.5% 9.9% 5.4% 50.3% 16.4% 12.2% 7.9% 7.9% 38.5% 28.8% 10.6% 7.2% 7.7% 56.3% 13.6% 13.0% 9.2% 7.9% 53.0% 23.3% 13.5% 46.7% 17.9% 9.6% 7.3% 7.0% 32.0% 23.1% 18.4% 9.9% 10.5% 45.4% 12.2% 25.6% 8.9% 56.8% 11.3% 14.9% 7.6% 55.6% 10.0% 7.8% 13.2% 59.6% 28.1% 5.6% 36.4% 9.6% 13.2% 8.7% 26.4% 54.7% 11.3% 7.3% 13.7% 9.4% 63.5% 21.2% 9.1% 63.5% 21.2% 9.1% 54.4% 7.5% 15.5% 15.0% 5.3% Grech Delia Don't Giglio None Metsola Comodini Sammut Top five choices for leader who can resolve the identified issues 13 Gozo Northern Northern Harbour South Eastern Southern Harbour Western 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% 47.6% 30.2% 6.3% 47.6% 30.2% 6.3% 47.5% 12.0% 25.9% 43.8% 25.8% 13.0% 7.6% 34.4% 12.7% 27.3% 8.7% 6.0% 46.8% 19.8% 9.3% 14.9% 40.2% 16.7% 12.0% 6.3% 12.3% All Male Female 16-35 36-50 51-65 65+ Primary Secondary Post-Sec Tertiary 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Gozo Northern ern Harbour outh Eastern ern Harbour Western 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% 50.8% 12.8% 12.4% 8.6% 7.6% 56.9% 11.1% 9.0% 8.0% 9.4% 44.4% 14.7% 16.0% 9.2% 5.8% 56.6% 11.3% 10.1% 5.4% 11.2% 53.3% 5.8% 10.6% 17.2% 9.1% 45.4% 15.4% 19.6% 7.1% 6.0% 51.7% 14.6% 9.0% 8.9% 9.0% 51.4% 18.1% 11.1% 12.4% 43.0% 18.1% 13.9% 10.8% 8.1% 53.4% 11.0% 18.0% 8.0% 63.7% 7.1% 9.5% 9.9% 5.4% 50.3% 16.4% 12.2% 7.9% 7.9% 38.5% 28.8% 10.6% 7.2% 7.7% 56.3% 13.6% 13.0% 9.2% 7.9% 53.0% 23.3% 13.5% 46.7% 17.9% 9.6% 7.3% 7.0% 32.0% 23.1% 18.4% 9.9% 10.5% 45.4% 12.2% 25.6% 8.9% 56.8% 11.3% 14.9% 7.6% 55.6% 10.0% 7.8% 13.2% 59.6% 28.1% 5.6% 36.4% 9.6% 13.2% 8.7% 26.4% 54.7% 11.3% 7.3% 13.7% 9.4% 63.5% 21.2% 9.1% 63.5% 21.2% 9.1% 54.4% 7.5% 15.5% 15.0% 5.3% 50.4% 14.6% 10.9% 10.0% 6.4% 48.6% 13.5% 14.6% 5.9% 6.3% 48.8% 19.0% 14.6% 6.5% 44.8% 11.9% 19.0% 7.4% 9.0% Grech Delia Don't know Giglio None Metsola Comodini Cachia Sammut Top five choices for leader who can resolve the identified issues 8 9 10 11 12 13 Gozo Northern Northern Harbour South Eastern Southern Harbour Western 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% 46.5% 23.5% 7.5% 9.2% 66.6% 26.0% 22.9% 27.2% 43.1% 60.0% 8.2% 5.7% 9.0% 61.4% 13.5% 11.0% 12.4% 47.6% 30.2% 6.3% 47.6% 30.2% 6.3% 47.5% 12.0% 25.9% 43.8% 25.8% 13.0% 7.6% 34.4% 12.7% 27.3% 8.7% 6.0% 46.8% 19.8% 9.3% 14.9% 40.2% 16.7% 12.0% 6.3% 12.3% All Male Female 16-35 36-50 51-65 65+ Primary Secondary Post-Sec Tertiary 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Gozo Northern 50.8% 12.8% 12.4% 8.6% 7.6% 56.9% 11.1% 9.0% 8.0% 9.4% 44.4% 14.7% 16.0% 9.2% 5.8% 56.6% 11.3% 10.1% 5.4% 11.2% 53.3% 5.8% 10.6% 17.2% 9.1% 45.4% 15.4% 19.6% 7.1% 6.0% 51.7% 14.6% 9.0% 8.9% 9.0% 51.4% 18.1% 11.1% 12.4% 43.0% 18.1% 13.9% 10.8% 8.1% 53.4% 11.0% 18.0% 8.0% 63.7% 7.1% 9.5% 9.9% 5.4% 50.3% 16.4% 12.2% 7.9% 7.9% 38.5% 28.8% 10.6% 7.2% 7.7% 56.3% 13.6% 13.0% 9.2% 7.9% 53.0% 23.3% 13.5% 46.7% 17.9% 9.6% 7.3% 7.0% 32.0% 23.1% 18.4% 9.9% 10.5% 45.4% 12.2% 25.6% 8.9% 56.8% 11.3% 14.9% 7.6% 55.6% 10.0% 7.8% 13.2% 59.6% 28.1% 5.6% 36.4% 9.6% 13.2% 8.7% 26.4% 54.7% 11.3% 7.3% 13.7% 9.4% 63.5% 21.2% 9.1% 63.5% 21.2% 9.1% 54.4% 7.5% 15.5% 15.0% 5.3% Grech Delia Don't know Giglio None Metsola Comodini Cachia Sammut Top five choices for leader who can resolve the identified issues
