Keith Azopardi said: “Last week’s election was one of the tightest ever seen. For the first time since the introduction  of the 2006 Constitution the Government will have a majority of just one in Parliament. We were backed by almost  half of the voters who participated in the election. The issues we campaigned upon have not magically disappeared  nor were they invented. While the result was deeply disappointing to all those people who wanted change, we will  continue our work and build from this stronger base. We will represent the people who wanted change and seek to  persuade those who did not back us on this occasion to do so next time. We will discharge our duty to the people of  Gibraltar in the role they have given us seriously and competently and will continue to hold this Government to  account.”
