Fed: You beauty! You get my vote
A new study says good looks will give aspiring politicians a two per cent advantage
over their uglier opponents.
Researcher Dr ANDREW LEIGH .. from the Australian National University .. says in some
seats .. it's the difference between winning and losing.
The study also analysed the effect of beauty separately for male and female candidates.
It found beauty benefits male candidates .. more than female candidates.
The study says this may be because female beauty carries negative connotations .. in
the minds of some voters.
