The Political Parties Source 1

With the initiation of this clash a division grew up between the Reformists and the Anti-Riformisti with the Reformists in favour of Anglicization whilst the Anti-Riformisti were in favour of Italian. Below you can find some comments passed by Vincenzo Bugeja who was in the Council of Government in 1883. 

Source 1 

"Being a loyal subject of the British Crown, to which as a true Maltese I desire that my country should for ever be subjected, I believe that it is imperative (very important) that my fellow countrymen should learn English, were it only to appreciate the great nation with which we have been most fortunately connected, to learn English ideas, to remain steadfast (strong) in our allegiance"

Which party do you think Vincenzo Bugeja is part of? 


Is this a Primary or Secondary source? 


Why do you think was it favourable for working class people to learn English?
