Party/Movement Imperium Europa

Norman Lowell (born July 29, 1946) is the founder and leader of Imperium Europa, a Maltese movement promoting an amalgamation of sociopolitical ideas, mainly, Pan-europeanism, Libertarianism, Nationalism, and Environmentalism.

Recent years
In 2002, Lowell was banned from the Maltese media following some of his more controversial comments on public television. Despite this, Norman Lowell has gathered an ever increasing number of adherents, partly because of his charisma, eccentric sense of humour and readiness to challenge local authority, but also due to his exploitation of the increasing tensions caused on the island by seemingly unsustainable numbers of illegal immigrants.

Norman Lowell contested the first European Parliament elections that were held in Malta on June 12, 2004, obtaining a highly unexpected 1,603 first-count votes and thousands of second-count votes.

Contentious issues
Despite being accused of being a racist numerous times, Lowell insists that he is actually a racialist and has stressed that he has nothing against minorities. He is against unrestricted migration to Western countries, especially countries such as Malta with its population of less than half a million.

Several lawsuits were filed following speeches he has made. Two charges of incitement of racial hatred are currently being settled in Malta's law courts. The first case concerns an article written for MaltaFly, in which several highly pejorative words, such as “lackey”, “mass-murderer”, “vermin” and “pest” were used to describe Jewish People. The second case deals with a public meeting organised by Lowell on 22 January 2005 in Safi, following a case in which illegal immigrants were involved in violent clashes with the armed forces after the former had organised a pacific protest, to which the army reacted violently. After several meetings he has organised turned out to be somewhat of a success (judging by the standards of a newly-born political movement) Norman Lowell is trying to set out a more encompassing, moderate image for his party. Their stated aim is to be involved not just in the immigration issue which started them off, but in all aspects of Maltese political life.

Malta in the future
If ever in power, Norman Lowell claims that all buildings post-dating 1800 will be razed to the ground. Exceptions for historical buildings of great value will be made, post dating 1800 by a few years. Valleta, Mdina, and the Three Cities will stand within sight of each other, countryside all around. An Arcology will be built right in the center of Malta, where Mosta stands presently. No vehicles will be allowed to pollute the island; an underground railway system will be the main means of transportation.
Norman Lowell's main focus is undoubtedly the "racial purity" of the island of Melita, as he calls it, but this often clouds other more important issues he speaks about. Norman Lowell calls for the creation of a National Unity Government, to rise above the pettiness of partisanism. He calls for a more rational, planned approach to building. It doesn't make sense, he says, to have an Industrial Estate (of all things) built facing on one of Malta's most picturesque areas. He also derides the government's inability to tackle the serious cultural and educational problems Malta's society is facing, whilst chasing after economic ghosts.

-A dynamic foreign policy
-A National Unity Government drawn from the best of the Army, Police, civil service, university, world of industry and commerce.
-10% flat rate VAT and abolition of income tax.
-Energy Island off Maghtab. Solar energy, wind and waves.
-Turning Malta into the Spiritual focal point of Europe.
-Niche farming of exotic fruits and herbs.
-A total reorientation of present, mercantile values.
