For Malta, the immigration debate boils down to this: the Limits of Sovereignty. All the banging on about the evils of multiculturalism and 'the liberal left' (ANR) and outright racial hatred (Lowell) will not change that one bit although they have created a problem in their own right. Incidentally do you remember the Rajna F'Idejna slogan? That was only three years ago. It was nonesense then and it's nonesense now. I'm still waiting for someone to ask Labour how it would have dealt with the immigration problem had we gone down that path. Isn't The Times a bit too kind when it simply says "Both (the government and the opposition) agree that the problem is too big for Malta to handle."
