Blog: MMM-MSM-Remake 2000 In Desperation

The remake implies that the President of the Republic, Sir Anerood Jugnauth resigns and takes the leadership of the MSM, opens negotiations with MMM on seat and power sharing on the basis of three years premiership to Sir Anerood Jugnauth as leader of the MSM and two years to Paul Berenger as leader to the MMM.
