    From what I've seen it's incredibly obvious and well publicised how rich Rishi's family is, which makes him very hard to relate to, and in turn it's very hard to see how he can relate to us.

    Not saying that other PMs aren't well off, just that his wealth is far more obvious.

    Or at least that's my thought on the matter.

      I don’t he comes from enormous wealth. His father was a GP in Southampton, his mother owned a pharmacy up the road. Clearly they had enough to send him to Winchester college, and from then on his connections took him to his current place. But I think much of his wealth now comes from his wife.
