In fact, it was in the management of politics that Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam showed his ruthlessness, that he was made of a sterner stuff and that as a political operator, endowed with manipulative skills, he could set the opposition house ablaze and watched the fireworks.
Ramgoolam warned Duval to put an end to his stubbornness if he was not to end up sitting on top of a smoking ruin.
Ramgoolam’s stratagem, as Gaëtan Duval pointed out, in creating splits and defections was based on one element: luring gullible members of the opposing camp with nominations they would never have dreamt of in their life.

The presumed maltreatment of the former inhabitants, who had been expelled to make way for the new base, was the subject of an interim settlement in the English courts in 2000 under which some of the former inhabitants may in principle be able to return to part of the archipelago.
Growing disillusionment with Ramgoolam brought the MMM to power, in alliance with the Parti Socialiste Mauricien, with a landslide victory at the 1982 general election.
It was a considerable surprise, therefore, when at the next election in December 1995, Jugnauth was defeated by an alliance of Bérenger's MMM and the MLP, now led by Navin Ramgoolam (son of Sir Seewoosagur), which made a clean sweep of the parliamentary seats.

Greenwood chose to discuss it privately with Ramgoolam during one of those sessions, reminding him that independence was in balance and the vociferous claim for association with a large part of the population for it was not ruled out.
By accepting the proposed “package” he was quick to steal a march on the PMSD which was flogging a dead horse known by the name of association and which Ramgoolam himself had already discovered was a lame one in the 1955s with the Malta failure.
