Okay, I’m actually feeling slightly disturbed that I got all of them correct! The next question then is do they start off that way, or is that what politics does to people?!

I got 7, I passed on Q7. (although, to be fair if a gun was held to my head, the answer I would have given would have been right!)

Most politicians will try to smile as it supposedly makes them appear more friendly.
What they forget is that a real smile is not just from the mouth area but also from the eyes (watch the crows feet scrunch at the side of someones eyes when they smile and then look at a fake smile.)
It’s the same as hearing the more influential politicians speak. The speaches may be different but they follow the same pattern. It’s so artificial it’s ridiculous.

I got 7/8 and failed number 7.
Sounds like your observation is spot on. There’s a taxpayer funded PhD in this for you if you can find a way to tie it into global warming.

Well 7 out of 8. My bet is they start that way, and get more so as time goes on.

I agree with that. Tony Blair is a great example. He started off as looking a bit weird and certainly a politician (it’s a testament to how ugly and weird looking politicians are in general that Blair seemed so likeable in comparison) but by the end of his term had the weathered, smudgy face of somebody who’d spent a decade lying, breaking promises, authorising the bombing of children and presumably having to try to doublethink his own brain that he was doing good work (although of course his subconscious knows he’s in the wrong, hence his horrible appearance).

I thought ‘oh this isn’t going to work’ as I got number one wrong… but then the rest right :o
But then didn’t someone once say ‘Politics is Showbiz for the ugly’ ?
