Does an imminent election effect you as a tourist?

Lets say you're planning a Mediterranean Holiday and while googling around you come across Holiday Accommodation Malta and say Villas Short lets Malta but then you look up news malta and find out that your vacation would coincide with the country's election time which takes place every 5 years. What is your reaction?

a.) You dread the potential instability and tick off Malta from your list of potential destinations
b.) It doesn't bother you at all
c.) It actually interests you to see what election time looks like in Malta giving added value to your holiday

Share your views with me! As at time of writing the party currently in Government boasts of exceptional tourism experienced in 2007 and anticipates an even better 2008. Not so for the opposition.

What is your impression? Especially if you're a local hotelier or restaurant manager, perhaps you run a Malta or Gozo car hire firm? How was business in 2007? What is 2008 really looking like? Is the current tourist a planner and a spender or is he more of the late booking weekend break type who doesn't spend much? Is Malta only attracting ageing tourists or are we attracting more of the clubbing type to our very unique town of Paceville where partying never ends??
