SHOW BUSINESS FOR UGLY PEOPLE NO MORE: The Beauty Party Pledges To Give Politics a Makeover

Politics is said to be show business for ugly people. Whoever said it obviously hadn't met the federal member for Indi, Mrs Sophie Mirabella.

Nor had they presumably encountered former beauty queen Gemma Garrett, a candidate in a looming by-election in Britain where she will be representing the Beauties for Britain Party.

The UK press reports:

The 26-year-old from Belfast will represent the newly formed Beauties for Britain party.

She has pledged to “help make Westminster as glamorous a place as its fellow European legislatures, where beautiful women abound in the higher echelons of government”.

Vowing to “make Britain feel beautiful again”, she said: “I may not know a lot about politics yet but I do know about people and how everyone would prefer that Britain looks and feels beautiful instead of dwelling on the ugly and negative side of life and politics.

”I want British politicians to be sexy not sleazy and to show that they really care about women.

“For British politics it's all change at Crewe and I am really looking forward to meeting all the voters there and to showing them the power of beauty.”

Game on.
