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 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.

ELECTION 2019

I am proud to belong to a party that has transformed Gibraltar. The changes in eight years are incredible, both in landscape as in philosophy.
The only problem with such tremendous progress is that it is easy to forget what Gibraltar was like before 2011. Our progress cannot be taken for granted because of this. Read more

The inter-connection of the whole system makes a well-resourced and efficient service a core concern of all and any government. I will support all policies aimed at achieving these general objectives. Read more
