Ford is the one always going on and on about he's governing "for the people", so I think OP actually kind of asks a fair question. Doug Ford does market himself anti-establishment even though he is part of the establishment. He comes from a very wealthy family but he presents himself as "average Joe". Somehow the people look at a guy with those kind of connections, who very visibly has an excessive lifestyle and lacks self-control, and then elect him to govern contrary all that.
