Thread Name: BS: Fat as a political statement
Subject: RE: BS: Fat as a political statement
Some years back a local State politician couldn't be a candidate for party leader as he was not only very overweight, but he also had a beard!!

The idiot leading said party did so badly that they lost yet another election a few weeks ago, so he resigned as leader & the other bloke is now leader. I don't have a TV & haven't taken notice of him in any paper I've read, so I don't know what he weighs, but I think he removed his beard some time back.

One of the things against the previous leader of our Federal Labour Party was his size.

And people had a field day with another Federal (conservative) politician because of her size & preference for bright clothing. Her policies would have been a better target as she was the Minister for Imprisoning & Demonising Refugees.
