The Nationalist Party (Maltese: Partit Nazzjonalista, PN) is one of the two major contemporary political parties in Malta, along with the Labour Party.
It is a Christian democratic,[2][3] and conservative political party,[4][5] and it has been also described as centrist[6] or centre-right on the political spectrum.[7][8] It is supportive of Malta's membership in the European Union.[9] It is currently in opposition to the Labour Party. Since independence in 1964, the Nationalist Party has won six out of the thirteen general elections, in 1966, 1987, 1992, 1998 and 2003. In 2008 it won with a paper-thin majority of around 1500 votes.[10]
