Never thought I would be agreeing with this but your right bro, much better than the old fossils that we have currently in place who are trying to compete in the 21st century with an 18th century mindset.

That being said, I think Bilawals corrupt father still holds the majority of influence within that party and once he is out of the picture, I wouldn’t be surprised if BB purges the party. I personally think he is a sensible guy just overshadowed by the corruption of certain elements in his party and his father.
