ELECTION 2019
The backdrop against which this general election takes place is the potential departure of the United Kingdom and Gibraltar from the European Union.
The possibility of a No Deal Brexit remains as one of a number of outcomes.
We could leave on 31 October without a deal. Read more

ELECTION 2019
After participating in politics since 2011, I can honestly say that I am excited about the prospect of being able to introduce an apprenticeship programme which will, for the first time, allow for an well designed pathway for those young people within our community who do not wish to pursue higher education. We need to create a tailor made approach to guiding our young people which takes into account the current skills needs of our community and where we want to take our community in the future. If we are serious as a community about encouraging and persuading big business to come to Gibraltar, we need to demonstrate that our young people possess the skills to fill the jobs that this economic activity will create.

Dear sir,
It was with great interest that I looked at the photo of the pedestrianisation of Line Wall Rd in the Together Gibraltar manifesto however, there are a few questions I would like to ask.
1. From where will it be pedestrianised?
2. Can I assume it will be from the roundabout at the Anglican Cathedral to the roundabout at the I.C.C.?
3. Does that mean that the I.C.C. parking will no longer be available? Read more

In the election fever that is whipping up at present, sweeping statements have been made by some; with the idea of hoping to besmirch the reputation of a certain party; without realising that without these being backed by some kind of proof, they remain “sweeping statements;” and therefore do not command credibility. Nevertheless, they can do much damage; not only because they sow the seeds of doubt in some people’s minds; but also as importantly, or more so, because the entire membership of that party finds itself branded by the supposed wrongdoings!

ELECTION 2019
By JOE BOSSANO, GSLP Liberal candidate
At the end of this month the UK and Gibraltar are almost certain to leave the EU, without a transition period.
It is impossible to calculate how negative the effect on the economy will be. But you know from the election campaign debates that all three parties agree that it will be negative. Read more

ELECTION 2019
By ROY CLINTON, GSD candidate
The GSLP/Liberals during this election campaign will chose statistics such as debt to GDP ratios and official net debt numbers to claim that their management of debt levels is prudent and sustainable. This goes to the heart of the public finance debate and I need to explain why the GSD analysis differs so significantly to the GSLP/Liberal position. Read more

ELECTION 2019
By ALBERT ISOLA, GSLP Liberal candidate
Gibraltar has always managed to punch well above its weight in almost everything it has done; commercially, artistically, in sports and of course in politics. Our people have an incredible ability to perform and respond, especially in difficult and challenging times. Read more

ELECTION 2019
By STEVEN LINARES, GSLP Liberal candidate
The GSLP Liberals have, while in Government, succeeded in defending Gibraltar’s interests in the Brexit context whilst continuing to successfully steer our economy to growth and focus on Gibraltar’s development as a world class events destination.
The Music Festival, Monkey Rocks, the Andrea Bocelli concert, join the Chess and Literary festivals as only some of the many events we now have on an annual basis, which are enriching the community and attracting business to Gibraltar too. Read more
