#anwaribrahim elected PM of Malaysia.

Good:

1) He has progressive views on combining #Islam and #Democracy
2) He spent time in gaol for 'sodomy' charges and his 'rehabilitation' shows electorate rejecting #homophobia
3) More young voters registered to vote this time, if their votes went to Ibrahim it suggests long-term trends are progressive

Bad:

1) He is v. old. Same generation as #Corbyn #Sanders. Who are his successors?
