Seems like Labour is in trouble for letting the referendum go on - alienating part of their base. Demos in autumn.

"“You depended on us but you can forget all our votes now,” one protester, who called for “revenge” on the government, shouted.

Many of the hunters claimed to be Labour supporters but said they had been abandoned by the party.

“He [PM Joseph Muscat] needed us for votes. Well, now he’ll see because he has just lost thousands of them.

“My entire family won’t vote,” one said, adding that he had taken to burning his collection of Labour Party flags."

Where would Labour/Yes votes go to? The nationalists base is pro-conservation according to the poll.
