How to make politics more interesting

MPs were hot under the collar today after this picture emerged of a young Tory colleague - looking like a stunning Baywatch babe.
Charlotte Leslie became one of the youngest MPs in parliament when she was elected aged just 31 in 2010.
Before her political career she was an Olympic swimming hopeful and worked as a lifeguard patrolling the beaches of north Cornwall before and during university.
Today the MP said the photo, which shows the svelte blonde decked out in a red swimming costume, was a reminder of her happy summers where she learnt about life.
She said: "Most of my friends had gone off to do internships at big law firms and I felt my career had really slipped through the net.
"But although it was a summer job and was not as lucrative and important as my friends, it taught me a huge deal that I am so grateful for.
"The skills I learnt I use now in the world of politics. Unfortunately, people think talking is the same thing as doing in politics, when it is definitely not.
"It taught me how to prioritise and manage questions. You can't press release, or statement a live incident, you just have to do it.
"Usually if things go wrong at work you can say 'well no one died', but in this case someone could have done.
"I met some of my best friends through the job too. They really taught me an awful lot and inspired me throughout my life.
"I've always said to them they have to tell me if I become one of those 'prat politicians', and it's great to be grounded like that."

Politics in the PRC aren't very interesting...
Very predictable...
But Chinese people don't want to govern themselves, so that's okay for them...
I guess they live in a better world.

MP Charlotte Leslie recreates her 'Baywatch' pose in iconic swim costume 15 years after she first wore it as a lifeguard.
This is the moment MP Charlotte Leslie took to the beach to recreate a picture which emerged of her as a young Tory - looking like a stunning Baywatch babe.
Donning a red swimming costume the 35-year-old posed in a bid to raise awareness of the lifesaving efforts carried out daily on Britain's coasts.
The picture mirrors a photograph taken in 1999 when she was just 20, which shows the then student working as a lifeguard in Cornwall during her university summers

Fucking Tories will do anything to drag a vote in.
Even if it means getting one of the girls to flash her knickers .....

Visibility. It makes it easier to reach out and take hold her hand.

Hotter chicks!

ETA:
Not much of a party competition...
Conservative MP honeys grabbed 19 0f the top 20 spots, (One going to a Scottish National Party lass)
And Labor dominates just about as completely in the bottom 20, (otherwise known as "The Kennel Club"

) taking 18 of the positions, (1 Conservative, 1 Liberal Democrat)
Some truly scary ones in
that group...
