Political parties in Malta lists political parties in Malta. Since World War II Maltese political culture has developed into a two-party system donimated by the Nationalist Party and the Malta Labour Party. Although other political parties have presented candidates and, in some cases, elected MPs, in most cases these were splinter groups of the main parties and, on the rare occasions when they were successful, this success was short-lived.

[edit] The parties
