Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>The recent publication in Le Mauricien of a Straconsult poll conducted we assume by phone over 600 respondents has obvious limitations (notably a low 95% confidence level) but it does provide some broad-brush picture of the current state of the Mauritian mind with regard to political horizons still more than 2 years away.<\/p>\n

Quite naturally then, although more than 80% express a keen desire to vote, more than 60% of respondents have not made up their minds and more than a third report not feeling close to any political party.<\/p>\n

Not much of a surprise but the political \u00e9tat-majors will be deciphering the photography and each party and party leader can find some solace in its ratings, notably the MSM and the PM which remain top of mind, partly as a result of intensive coverage of government activities.<\/p>\n

Pravind Jugnauth heads the list of preferred future PM at 21% followed by the LP leader Navin Ramgoolam at 12% and may bask in that glow, while his advisory entourage might be more worried of such dismally low personal levels after seven years in office since 2015 and two years of prime ministership gone. Carrying conviction in only one in five Mauritians hearts is somewhat sobering.<\/p>\n
