The PL’s National Congress kicked-off with it first significant and successful meeting – a business forum. The very civilised discussion in a packed hall at the Hotel Execelsior last Friday did not feature the usual gripes and platitudes. Instead the message came out loud and clear.  “We do not seek any favours from a government. But please let us work.”  The sectors represented included manufacturing, tourism, financial services and retail. Dr Muscat promised that Labour would fight red tape.

For me it was a great learning experience.
