    He had quite a lot of problems. Most seemed to stem from the way that he seemingly seemed to side against the West in any international dispute, which is suboptimal in a prime ministerial candidate. Those views also led to him sharing platforms with some questionable people.

      Yeah and in a similar vein he’s a huge contrarian in a huge number of areas - it seems like if he didn’t have a strong opinion on something he just went against the status quo on it regardless of how illogical that was, which in my opinion at least is a pretty poor trait for someone who literally has control over the status quo
