decided not to host the 1972 general elections, saying there was too much social unrest. Dev Virahsawmy and many others left the MMM in March 1973. Soon afterwards Dev Virahsawmy formed a new party Mouvement Militant Mauricien Socialiste Progressiste (MMMSP). At the 1976 elections the MMM came out with the largest number of winning votes but S. Ramgoolam made a surprise alliance with PMSD to outnumber MMM. The Labour-PMSD coalition was thus returned to government and MMM became the main Opposition. In 1982 Berenger eventually led to the downfall of the Labour-PMSD coalition government as MMM won (with an alliance with Harish Boodhoo's PSM) all parliamentary seats. Seewoosagur Ramgoolam was not even elected in 1982. Thus by 1982 MMM had won a second general election with a clear majority. Then party leader Anerood Jugnauth became prime minister. In 1983 following numerous disagreements between Jugnauth and Berenger, the MMM decided to leave the government. Jugnauth, along with the PSM and some members of the MMM who did not leave him formed a minority government. In August 1983, Jugnauth formed his own party (MSM) and won the further elections of 1983 and 1987. The MMM then formed an alliance with the MSM again in 1991 and with the Labour Party in 1995 (both times as a junior partner). In 2000 it formed a coalition government with the MSM as a rather equal partner. Berenger finally became Prime Minister in 2003 following Jugnauth's retirement. He then formed his own government from 2003 to 2005. The MMM later lost the 2005, 2010 and 2014 elections (3 general elections in a row). Mouvement Socialiste Militant (MSM) is the latest main political party formed in 1983. It was formed and led by Sir Anerood Jugnauth and consisted of members of the defunct Parti Socialist Mauricien (PSM) of Harish Boodhoo, the remnants of the Independent Forward Block and dissident members of the MMM who did not agree with Berenger. It is the only party which won three general elections in a row (1983, 1987 & 1991). It restructured the country's struggling economy following the Labour Party-PMSD government which lost power in 1982. MSM received support from various parties over time including the Labour Party from 1983 to 1985, 1987–1990, the PMSD from 1983 to 1988 and the MMM from 1990 to 1993. The country experienced a major economic boom after 1982 due to innovative policies and Jugnauth's
