About

Why this site exists

Malta has no shortage of opinions about what should change. What is often missing is a proposal set out in full: the problem, with evidence; one specific change; who gains; what it would cost; who would have to act; and where something similar has worked.

Each idea on this site follows that structure, so that a minister, an MP, a local councillor, a civil servant or a journalist can read it in a few minutes and check every claim against its source.

How proposals are researched

• Every factual claim links to a numbered source.
• Primary sources come first: NSO Malta, Eurostat, government and authority publications, EU reports and peer-reviewed research. News reports are used as secondary sources.
• Each idea shows when its evidence was last reviewed, and source links are checked regularly.
• Proposals criticise policies and outcomes, not people.
• Corrections are welcome. If a figure is wrong or out of date, it is fixed and the idea’s “updated” date changes.

Why it is anonymous

The site is published anonymously so that each idea is judged on its evidence and reasoning, not on who wrote it. The ideas are not sponsored by, or written on behalf of, any party, company or campaign.

Showing support

Each idea has an “I support this” button. The number beside it counts expressions of support from visitors. It is not a petition and it is not a count of verified people: anyone can click it once per browser, with no sign-up.
