Scotland's Political Landscape Shifts with Muslim Leader's Victory
TL;DR Summary
Humza Yousaf has become the first Muslim national leader in any Western democracy after being confirmed as first minister of Scotland. Yousaf's appointment reflects the accelerating diversification of politics in Britain, a country whose imperialist past has forged a multiethnic present. The milestone comes five months after the UK got its first Hindu leader in Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, and Britain's capital city is headed by London Mayor Sadiq Khan, the son of Pakistani immigrants.
