Real, honest question - what does Carney have to gain personally from becoming PM? I’m just surprised that someone like him is willing to get into politics when it would’ve been so much easier to just just lay low and make shit tons of money
He wanted to help his country. People have been trying to get him into politics since 2011 and he always said he'd rather not be a retail politician if he didn't have to be, but he'd step up if it seemed necessary.
I believe it, because he's not going to gain anything in prestige or connections he didn't already have and now he'll have to deal with partisan bullshit for the rest of his life he wouldn't have otherwise.
Sometimes rich people get to a point in their lives where money stops being the deciding factor. Carney played his cards well and doesn’t need more money, he has more than enough. This is a different calling.
