Also remember his dad got him the job in the first place.
His dad was a Labour politician in Scotland, then left to be a minister in Pakistan. I'm all for every community being represented in Scotland. But people with connections to foreign governments should be treated with suspicious.
His father got him the initial MSP seat.
The previous Scottish Labour leader was ousted from his position. This was due to party donors threating to remove support. We don't know who's these donors are but the Sarwar family is very wealthy. Wealthy and politically active in Scotland. Sarwar was a shoe in when the previous leader was ousted.
Sarwar and his family own business in Scotland. Businesses that don't provide all their employees with a livable wage. This is disposable for a Labour leader. He doesn't represent working people, he represents the people that want to exploit working people.
