He doesn't place braces around single statement conditional/loop bodies. Would not vote for him. While pretty unexpected from a politician, he did graduate in Maths & CS at Trinity College. Senior Wrangler, no less.
I would say in the past this was unexpected. We cannot build a better future with bureaucrats and lawyers as it was proven several times. I am hoping that going forward means we have more practical politicians who actually have understanding of different domains outside of law and politics.
I have it on good authority that Boris Johnson was viva'd at the end of his classics degree – implying he was on the first/2:1 boundary – and graduated with a 2:1.
He certainly inherited the size of the mouth of his father, and tried to imitate his tirades heavily 12 years ago when I lived there, but so far nothing really came out of it.
Sing in last 12 years: losing vestiges of its industry, and getting more, and more reliant on mainland money.
I would say 1 thing: Singapore is probably the only country in the world which actively tries to reduce population of millionaires, and rich 6 digit salary making expats on the populist notion that this tiny population which pays for itself n-fold in taxes is "stealing Singaporean jobs."
We could do with boring in the UK right now.
