Nadhim Zahawi: The chancellor who took one too many chances

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : As someone of great drive and intelligence, and still only 55, Zahawi could have done much more for his country and been remembered for more worthy things than tax and quibbling over the word "careless".
46% : Zahawis originated from Khanaqin, an oil-rich city in the east, close to the border with Iran, and their prosperity, influence and background did not comment them to the Ba'athist regime.
35% : While he served on the foreign affairs select committee, for example, he failed to declare his membership of Le Cercle, a private foreign policy forum; and his links with the oil industry have also been criticised, particular as vice-chair of an all party group on Kurdistan.
