Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Three months and 800 citizens questioned and \u201csurveyed\u201d \u2013 if or ple \u2013 to lay a report on the defeat of the blue candidate during the partial at No. 18. Had to dare. Conclusion: \u201cBad choice of candidate.<\/p>\n

\u201d Well then ! Denial at its peak! No, of course, by wanting to copy others too much and fiddling with scientific communalism, it ended up blowing up in your face. Same method and same \u2018rattan bazaar\u2019.<\/p>\n

Considering its traditional electorate as ‘fixed deposit’, the PMSD instead of consolidating this electorate, joined by those who had deserted the MMM in 2014, wanted to court other electorates.<\/p>\n

Result: a shabby score, even lower than the personal electoral potential of Xavier Duval, less than what our local Shah Rukh Khan attracts during his shows but much more than the absolute record of zero points Nasanah Yenkanah.<\/p>\n

Consequences: 1) The position of leader of the opposition synonymous with visibility in the PMSD is threatened. 2) The PMSD is very weakened in the perspective of alliance negotiations.<\/p>\n

the Berezina Enough to make the MMM jump for joy, whose B\u00e9r\u00e9zina of 2014 and December 2017 remained across the throats of its supporters \u2013 well, what\u2019s left of it.<\/p>\n

Indeed the MMM, which had already been amputated by a good half of its electorate in 2014, saw the remaining hard core damaged in December 2017. Main cause: their \u201ccomplicity\u201d in the BAI affair which dates back to the time when Lutchmeenaraidoo, now missing, was shadow finance minister of the MMM.<\/p>\n

But above all the specter of an alliance in the making MMM-MSM, moreover brandished first by a good number of purple supporters scalded by the failure of alliances of the past.<\/p>\n

However, when in doubt, they preferred to abstain massively in December 2017. And good news for the MMM: those who had migrated to the PMSD in 2014 did not confirm their choice and chose to stay away from the ballot box in December 2017.<\/p>\n

A few still voted for the candidate of the Patriotic Movement of Alan Ganoo who chose the \u201cethnic\u201d profile well to fish in the common electoral basin of the MMM and the PMSD.<\/p>\n

In particular the fringe that abandoned the MMM for the PMSD and the Lib\u00e9rater Movement in 2014. Admittedly, it was not a resounding success for the garnet candidate.<\/p>\n

And that was to be expected, in my opinion, since the main reason for the desertion of a good part of the MMM voters in 2014 was the alliance with the PTr, of which Alan Ganoo was the intermediary.<\/p>\n

As a result, this low score \u2013 even less than Dhanesh Maraye and far behind our national Jack \u2013 places the MP in an extremely weak position in the context of possible alliance negotiations.<\/p>\n

When elephants fight, rabbits had better get away. I still do not understand why the PMSD and the MP, which are both forced to enter the game of alliances, have engaged in a losing battle.<\/p>\n

Even the PMSD report says so: they knew Arvin Boolell was going to win. the MedPoint case To return to the MMM, it must be said that the message of its 2014 electorate amplified in December 2017 seems to have fallen on deaf ears.<\/p>\n

Since, what MMM supporters fear and have rejected could, according to persistent rumors, come to fruition. The MMM seems to be ready to negotiate an alliance with the MSM after the Privy Council’s ruling on the MedPoint affair.<\/p>\n

In this regard, I deplore the declaration of the highly respected Lindsay Rivi\u00e8re questioning the sincerity of the Privy Council (which could favor the stability of Mauritius).<\/p>\n

In the meantime, the leader maximo, challenged within his movement \u2013 \u200b\u200bhis method but not his leadership\u2026 go figure! \u2013, will not hesitate to pound Xavier Duval \u2013 his direct competitor, electorally of course.<\/p>\n

His last salvo is his ‘diplomatic’ appeal to Xavier Duval to put his position as leader of the opposition back into play while sending a signal to Arvin Boolell.<\/p>\n

Enough to fuel other speculation! Be serious. I do not see any upheaval in Parliament following the December partial. Boolell replaces Badhain in the opposition and the number of Labor deputies increases from 4 to 5.<\/p>\n

The PMSD remains the party with the majority \u2013 admittedly relative \u2013 in the opposition. I do not see how Boolell could claim the position of leader of the opposition with the support of the MMM, or support B\u00e9renger for this position. Firstly because if the PTr enters the game of alliances under Ramgoolam – you never know. . .<\/p>\n

especially in politics – the PMSD remains its most likely potential ally, especially since their departure from the government followed their \u2013 decisive \u2013 refusal to vote for the ‘Prosecution Commission’ clearly aimed at the leader of the PTr. B\u00e9renger has a knack for moving internal bickering within his party to the outside. Stop being ridiculous.<\/p>\n
