Electioneering, part two
Looking rather tattered, the colours of the defeated MSM/MMM coalition tied to a tree in Grand Baie, Mauritius.
The new government must address the country's growing economic problems, in part resulting from the decline of the textile industry due to lower-cost competition from China. The textile sector is one of four pillars of the Mauritian economy, the others being sugar, fishing and tourism. There are plans afoot to create a new pillar: IT. Mauritius is aiming to become a 'cyber island': the first country in the world to have coast-to-coast wi-fi hostpot access. Another plan to boost the economy suggested by one member of the new government is to make Mauritius a 'tax free island', thereby encouraging more shopaholic tourists to visit.
