Meet The Policy Matrix


Which helps you to quickly make sense of the policies that are proposed and implemented in Mauritius. Our leaders should obviously try to have most of their policies in cell 1: those that are good for Mauritius and help make their re-election easier. The selfless leader will not hesitate to execute policies in cell 2: he might face electoral setbacks and even political death but his policies will be recognised when the dust settles. The selfish policy-maker won't mind having policies in cell 3: he could be deriving substantial personal benefits from his position and he couldn't care less about Mauritius. Could get re-elected but will rapidly be on borrowed political time. Finally the dumb toxic leader will focus on cell 4: his policies could cause untold misery and his political career will hopefully end up just like toxic waste: buried.

So, where should our leaders be placed? I guess for the Navin-Rama duo, it would be 4, Navin-Pravind duo was moving towards 3, but where is Xavier pulling Navin to...?

Wai plizumwin. Penkor tro kone pu Xavier la me penkor tann nanye interesan. Kav pu bizin atan bidze pu konn inpe plis.

Lot manyer ki ka servi sa matrix la se klasifyer bann politik prinsipal dan kat kazyer la.

Par examp: flat tax dan 4; remont top tax (bidze PJ) dan 1; taxe lintere dan 4; donn 5 milyar lindistri sikriyer 4; pu stimilis pakeg kitfwa pu bizin fer enn lot kazyer apel li voodoo...

Kazié 'voodoo' ti capav mett li a-lextrem drwatt, en-ba nétt...

Ou-bien, enn sizestchion: invert the axes - take the origin to be at the topmost left-hand corner ('bad' for both, and 'good' towards the right and towards the bottom). So, the 'voodoo' part would be a small region at the origin: you divide by zero you get a black hole that swallows up everything...
