The Use of One's Modest Origins in Politics

With the kind of history that Mauritius has had many of the most remarkable politicians our country has known have come from relatively modest families. We've learned out about this when they took a little time out of their busy schedule to tell us about it. And they did that in a very dignified fashion.

The priority for them was to make the country work for as many of us as possible and whenever we think of them their selfless dedication to bettering Mauritius springs to mind.

It must then have been quite shocking for a majority of us to listen to that pathetic use of one's modest origins for the umpteenth time this morning to try influence our Prime Minister.

You are right. I have never seen anyone boast about his purported competence so openly, not even Paul Berenger. Statements like “tout dimoune conner couma mo serieux, competent et travail dur, jusqu’a 18 heures par jour » made me literally choke and spit my coffee all over the kitchen.

Now if he is as good (or bad) at cooking gateaux-piments as he has been at democratising the economy during these past years, we should be glad he closed his gateaux-piments business because many people would otherwise have been seriously sick by now !!
