Doesn't his business success at least demonstrate leadership, hard work, financial efficiency, budgeting and many other things that would be great traits to lead a country.
I know little about him, so not saying I like him as their PM or not, but I don't understand dismissing people for being successful at something.
Maybe it's a post Trump reactionary sentiment that's now applied to everyone.

I would think he's certainly smarter than many of the Eton-Oxford crowd like Boris. I would guess he also faces a lot more racism than they ever would and understands that side of life for many UK citizens better than they would. I just wouldn't expect him to offer that much difference from the Eton-Oxford set in terms of beliefs about the role of government and social values.
Going through Goldman and Stanford MBA shapes people in certain ways - Goldman even more than Stanford. It shapes people's ways of thinking, basic beliefs and values. The Brits also left plenty of British elitism in Indian society when they left. I would kind of expect he's more of the same in that way. Maybe he defies the norm, I just wouldn't expect him to be too different based on what I know of the path he has taken. Lots I don't know about his life though.
