And all this time I thought that it was only in America that people voted for politicians for their glamour rather than for their ideas or their capabilities.
From the Telegraph UK
On one hand I think that it is great to bring attention to women in the Czech government
On the other hand I'm not so enthusiastic about this
As further evidence that few in the Czech Republic have qualms over spicing the world of politics with touch of glamour and sex appeal, in the days after the election the glossy women's magazine "Ona" (She in English) encouraged readers to vote for "Miss Parliament", asking them to choose their favourite female MP.
I guess that anything goes when you need to get elected
Public Affairs has previously used glamour to highlight its strong female presence. During the election campaign four of the women who appear in the calendar posed for a billboard poster wearing black swim suits.
Years ago people used to "vote with their feet", not it seems that they are voting with something else entirely.
