High Heels In Politics

[at9]

It's common enough for female politicans to wear high heels. Less common for men. Sarkozy in France is said to wear elevator shoes but this was a picture I didn't expect. Scroll down to item 4 on this BBC election report:

Good to see a little bit of colour in an otherwise generally drab UK election campaign**

 

I should warn that the link on the BBC website to this guy's own website will take you to material that some may find offensive.

 

**Not entirely drab. Al Murray standing against Nigel Farage in Thanet South has to be the best joke of the whole campaign. Personally I lament the passing of Bill Boaks and Screaming Lord Sutch. If you haven't heard of them I'm sure google will help.

Isn't it spelt 'Faridge'?  Or at least pronounced that way.  One would assume that being so English he'd like to rhyme with cabbage.  Who knows, maybe he eats c'barje.  Maybe the postman brings him a p'ckarje and he has to pay the p'starje.

 

Al Murray has out-Faridged Faridge, speaking as he does for the 'silent' majority.  Well, it's known that politicians will never dare to add 'None of the Above' to the ballot.  Caricature candidates might be the way.

Very nice boots (and skirt?).  I hope he didn't have trouble with his heels on that polished floor.  Navigating that takes as much practice as navigating politics.

Interesting pic for sure

Nicola Sturgeon is doing her bit for heels here in Scotland. :-)

But I don't heels would suit Alex Salmond

[Pumps]

If he's promoting individuality and personal freedom, he certainly walks the walk

definitely not the expected in staid British elections but I love the outfit!  HappyinHeels
