  • The Divorce Referendum of 28 May 2011 in Malta Roderick Pace
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OAR@UM South European Society and Politics Vol. 17, No. 4, December 2012, pp. 573–589 SOUTH EUROPEAN ATLAS Growing Secularisation in a Catholic Society: The Divorce Referendum of 28 May 2011 in Malta Roderick Pace The divorce referendum held in Malta on 28 May 2011 was another watershed in Maltese politics, particularly because it confirmed the secularising trends in Maltese society and exposed the complicated cleavages within the Maltese electorate. The result was a major political embarrassment for the ultra-conservative Prime Minister and leader of the Nationalist Party, particularly after he doggedly voted against the divorce bill in parliament notwithstanding the referendum result. The Catholic Church was also embarrassed after leading an aggressive ‘no’ campaign that did not resonate with the demands of society or the expectations of progressive Catholics. While the issue has severely affected the ruling Nationalist Party’s chances of winning the next general election, due in the first quarter of 2013, it may have forced the Church finally to contemplate serious reforms. Keywords: Religion and Politics; Secularisation; Catholic Church; Maltese Labour Party; Nationalist Party; Divorce Downloaded by [University of Malta], [Roderick Pace] at 08:16 18 December 2012 In the referendum held on 28 May 2011, the Maltese people voted in favour of the introduction of divorce with 53.2 per cent in favour and 46.8 per cent against. In this small state, whose total population numbers 420,000 inhabitants and where the last general election had been won by a margin of less than 1,600 votes, the difference of over 14,500 votes between the ‘yes’ and ‘no’ camps in the divorce referendum (see Table 1) represented a rather convincing victory for the former.
