Come on Andrea, it's not the 90s any more. Seriously we could have the ubergroomed Hillary as US president. We can't have a PM looking like she's more suited to propping up the local golf club bar with her fifth double G&T of the evening.

(Quick breather to say fuck off Daily Mail to make the OP unquotable just in case they take it seriously).

Theresa with her killer cleavage and kitten heels would be much more stylish. Although I seem to remember some outlandish knitwear on more than one occasion.

Disclaimer: not in the least lighthearted.

That's a strong look from Yulia there. And with the popularity of OITNB, her time in the Big House makes her very on trend. Having read her Wiki page (OK, skimmed, it's like sodding War and Peace) she's led a life with more incident than all five of the original Tory candidates combined. And Eagle, Davidson, and Sturgeon and the entire Lib Dem PLP.
(I'm excluding Corbyn only because left-wing cliques and infighting means he's seen more vicious familial disputes than even the most vicious Russian oligarch.)

Hitler's eyebrows were rather light, I see.

HemanOrSheRa · 09/07/2016 23:26

Ah bollocks. When I said that I thought AL was a hybrid of Margaret Thatcher and Edwina Curry I was serious Sad.

I recommend that AL gets her eyebrows tattooed. I've had it done, so now I have eyebrows, birthed a child, have step children and lots of nieces and nephews and 'other people'. Vote for me! It'll be ACE! Grin

Ivorbig1 · 09/07/2016 23:34

Of course she can be PM. The fact she orgamises something makes her over qualified .

PreAdvent13610 · 09/07/2016 23:34

Herman I think you are in with a good chance for the leadership of either of the main political parties.

Ivorbig1 · 09/07/2016 23:36

Organises, where is autocorrect when I need it?

GiddyOnZackHunt · 09/07/2016 23:36

Neil Kinnock has had to wait for all traces of gingerness to be gone before anyone listened to him. Only now that he's gingeless are the Guardian referring to him as a statesman.

HemanOrSheRa · 09/07/2016 23:47

Yay! PreAdvent. I'm a labour party/trade union member (help me!) but I have children. It'll be fine Grin.

PreAdvent13610 · 09/07/2016 23:51

You gave polite advice to your opponent those eyebrows need it, you will be brilliant.
Have you stabbed Jeremy in the back or can you be nice and civil and helpful until you are elected to replace him?

LittleBearPad · 10/07/2016 00:00

I knew there was a reason she looked odd. She is over plucked and a cow

MooPointCowsOpinion · 10/07/2016 00:10

I genuinely find myself too distracted by her eyebrows to hear her speak.

It's a real problem and I think I need a support group set up.

Leta86 · 10/07/2016 00:12

And this attitude is exactly why politics, management, law etc is still predominantly male in the 21 century... It IS honestly women and this kind of hypocrisy that keep us from achieving real equality. FGS, and I can't believe I'm saying this about May, let the woman rule!

MooPointCowsOpinion · 10/07/2016 00:17

Leta has a hook in her lip. Throw her back in the river.

PreAdvent13610 · 10/07/2016 00:18

Leta nobody has criticised May's eyebrows nor Merkel's. Many men's eyebrows have also been mentioned.
This is not pretending to be a highbrow conversation, it is an over plucked one.

GiddyOnZackHunt · 10/07/2016 00:47

Women! Know your place. Do not attempt parody as you will confuse your fellow breast sporters.

HemanOrSheRa · 10/07/2016 01:03

I'm not sure Advent. I mooched around in a stinky donkey jacket, looking like a morose geography teacher for a while. But I have eyebrows. And I'm a mother Grin. I'm pretty sure I can wing it on that basis alone.

AuroraBora · 10/07/2016 01:17

I'm not sexist in my eyebrow judging. Bad brows deserve derision from us all no matter which candidate's face they are on.

If a male candidate had a monobrow I would be judging him just as much.

As a pp said, if she can't make good brow decisions, how will she run our country?! GrinWink

GiddyOnZackHunt · 10/07/2016 01:24

Heman I have a dodgy 60s overcoat and invisible eyebrows. Can I be Chancellor?

KatieKaboom · 10/07/2016 01:46

The Russians are variously perturbed / amused / bewildered by Putin's use of botox.

to think we can't have someone with such overplucked eyebrows as PM?
HemanOrSheRa · 10/07/2016 02:01

You would be perfect Giddy. I'll be PM you'll be Chancellor. I'm quite excited by this turn of events. We have at at least one child between us. Because us wimmin folk always need to think of the children. Never of ourselves. Heaven forfend! And we have eyebrows. How are you with lipstick though Giddy? I can't do lippy Sad. It smudges off after about 10 mins of me gurning and mwahing. You'll have to do that bit.

justtowarm · 10/07/2016 02:28

Just wanted to add.. I hate over-plucked eyebrows they make people foreheads look empty Wink

She looks like every tory branch chairwoman I've ever seen met, almost to the point of being a caricature. She's the female equivalent of Iain Duncan Smith, the living embodiment of the Tory party membership and with a CV chock full of lies to match.

GiddyOnZackHunt · 10/07/2016 10:56

Hmm any attempt at make up usually has my eldest qualification (I have 2 children y'know) recoiling in horror. She however is a dab hand with lippy and eye shadow so perhaps she could be a junior minister.
