But I will judge him on how he does, not who his grandparents or great grandparents were. It seems kind of petty to spin that against him.

I agree. Who his parents, grandparents, etc., were doesn't make a bit of difference in the rough and tumble political arena.
However, my point is that he comes from a privileged, elite family where the vote of the common man was not a factor with regards to gaining power in political circles. Now it happens again with his unopposed coronation, as a result of the circumvention of the leadership election rules, as Liberal leader.
Deja vu?
