The Maltese are voting on Saturday in a snap general election called by Prime Minister Robert Abela.
Abela and his Labour Party are betting on economic stability, as the smallest EU nation recorded the fastest GDP growth at 4% last year. Malta has a very low inflation, and there is no real unemployment. Electricity and fuel prices are also the lowest in Europe and have been so for the last 10 years.
Abela's administration has managed to shield the small Mediterranean island from global crises, especially from the immediate consequences of the conflict in the Middle East.
