That would be an interesting question to put to Rama Sithanen. Because that was one of the two years in which we sent a new government to parliament with the power to corrupt absolutely.
While the global economy was in a tailspin in 1982 conditions were incomparably better at the end of 1995. For instance Bill Clinton was getting ready to grab four more years at the White House in the following year.
But that didn't prevent Sithanen and friends from scoring less than 20% of the votes.
The analysis gets sharper if we look at how the national cake was distributed.
