Looking good to put beauty on the back benches

They say blondes have more fun but could it be that blonde/blond is this season's fashion choice in the world of politics?
If Boris Johnson's success had not been enough, another golden-haired contender added to Gordon Brown's woes yesterday as Miss Great Britain, 26-year-old Gemma Garrett, announced her nomination for the forthcoming Crewe and Nantwich by-election.
Promising to put "beauty back into politics" Miss Garrett confessed she could do little to help the Prime Minister on the economic front but would be on-hand with make-up advice for the beleaguered Mr Brown if she won. Launching her campaign with a pout and a tiara on Westminster's College Green, Miss Garrett revealed her key policy would be to make politics "sexy instead of sleazy" and dismissed suggestions that her candidacy for the newly-formed Beauties for Britain Party was a publicity stunt for a beauty pageant.
The by-election was called after the death of Labour's longest-serving female MP Gwyneth Dunwoody last month. Mrs Dunwoody held the Cheshire constituency with a majority of 7078 at the last General Election.

(Which you most certainly are not, for you taught me how to use the

PS - I personally think Wendy has it all over Ms.Garret, but apparently not all see her beauty......

We do need a bit more fun in politics and this may be a start. All our politicians appear to be robots and a right bunch of sour pusses.
The last guy with any character was John Prescott; I am not a big fan of the Labour party but at least he appeared human.
Have I got news for you has toned down and what ever happened to spitting image?

She gets my vote. Can't be worse or thicker than the incumbents. May even have some common sense (unlikely but vaguely possible.)

Shouldn't that be promises to put the "beauty [italic]into[/italic] politics"?
- Good luck to her, with female representation in WM at a paltry 20 odd % and with good looking representation still hovering in the single figures (Margaret Beckett doesn't count) politics could do with something like this.
