Maybe it's just a lame PR stunt.But so what? She's easy on the eyes, and from this corner, that does count for something. Granted, she's from the Labour Party, but then again, they need all the help they can get.
British politics was injected with a touch of glamour today as a beauty queen was unveiled as the UK's latest would-be MP.Hot Air links. Thanks!
Miss Great Britain, Gemma Garrett, 26, promised to "put beauty back into politics" as she posed and pouted for the media outside the Houses of Parliament.
The pneumatic Belfast blonde acknowledged she could offer Gordon Brown only limited help on the challenges posed by the global economic downturn, but said the Prime Minister should be her first port of call if he needed advice on beauty products.
Miss Garrett is to represent the newly formed Beauties for Britain party.
She hopes to ascend to power by winning a by-election in the newly vacant constituency of Crewe and Nantwich.
The seat became empty following the death of much-loved Labour stalwart Gwyneth Dunwoody last month.
Mrs Dunwoody, 77, was the politically fearless chairwoman of the Commons transport select committee and Labour's longest-serving female MP.
Ms Garrett, wearing a sparkly tiara and a short black dress, posed on Westminster's College Green under the baleful glare of a huge statue of Richard the Lionheart, standing guard in front of the Palace of Westminster.
She pledged to put beauty back into politics which she complained had become a bit "serious and boring".
