Style Watch: Prime Minister edition.

 With fewer and fewer women being at the head of Government (and why should they be? After all 'it would be folly to expect that women will ever dominate or even approach equal representation in a large number of areas ... because their aptitudes, abilities and interests are different for physiological reasons'.) I'm running out of ways to discuss their style and assess whether they have achieved the correct level of stress to look their hottest. Thus, as progress dictates; we must crash through the glass ceiling and begin to examine our politicians style in spite of their genetalia. And so, withough further discussion, let us commence with todays Style Watch.  

They're both your typical antipodean Prime Ministers; recceding hairlines, mildly (or not so mildly) racist views, daughters (so they can't be sexist!). We know how their politics work but are we engaging with the real issues?  Tony vs John- which PM is in the running for Minister of Style?

                    MAKING A SPEECH

I'm not going to deny you this one, Australia. Abbott's tie is clearly the snazzier of the two. Diagonal stripes as all politicians should know suggests taking a stand on something without ruling out the publics plebby point of view.  However, John's ubiquitous navy suit and his causal stance mark him out as a true man of the people- something Tony is really struggling to achieve, as pictured.

HAWT? Or NAWT?
Tony-: 7/10 You can't deny the style here. The suit in classic black commands attention and the props department deserve a round of applause for their use of the Australian flag.Patriotisim never goes out of style. HAWT

John- 5.5/10 There's nothing wrong with a suit and tie for making a speech, John Boy, but next time call a tailor in, hey? And consider a tie that isn't a blend of red and blue. Sends a weird message. NAWT

COOKING (an important skill for PMs)

Side bar for a second... this is actually the first pircture that comes up of John Key when you search for John Key casual. I think thats makes quite a salient point about the everyday lives of New Zealander's but I'm too lazy to phrase it wittily, dearest friends, so feel free to add your own satire in the comments.

Anyway hands down John has this in the bag. The man not only looks better, but he's cooking like a real kiwi bloke cooks. Abbott  hasn't even bothered to wear the correct    uniform. I know people who'd      be getting verbal warnings for that.

HAWT or NAWT?
Tony- 4/10 It seems like underneath the suit he's just a blue shirt and ears. A tie or a watch migth distract from his problem areas- things to consider! NAWT

John- 7.2/10 Nothing makes you look quite as working class as having a beer while Prince William cooks you a steak. HAWT

CHILLIN OUT MAXIN RELAXIN ALL COOL.

Here Key demonstarates a vertical plank, as I vivdly remember from the headline when this story broke memes ago in 2013. I am so disgusted by the idea of this I'm giving it to Abbott regardless.

HAWT OT NAWT?
Tony- 10/10 Whoar. Top ten sexiest politicians of 2014? I'll file a complaint if Abbott dont win. HAWT

John - Not yet Rated. I'm still grumpy that this made the papers and even grumpier that I'm covering it now. I've become part of the problem.

THE 'O' FACE

 I'm not going to rate this. Politicians making these faces publicly is juvenile and inappropriate. How do they expect us to take them seriously if they insist on bringing sex into politics? I'm diappointed in both PMs here.
