Right-Wing People are Better Looking than Those on the Left, Study Claims

Research has found that being attractive influences many things in a person's life -- their salary, their popularity and grades in school, even the prison sentences they receive. So why not their politics?

A recently published study in the Journal of Public Economics concludes that the attractiveness of a candidate does correlate with their politics. They find that politicians on the right are more good looking in Europe, the United States and Australia.

The research also suggests that voters correctly see candidates who are more good looking as more likely to be conservative.

In their first experiment, the researchers showed respondents photographs of political candidates in Finnish municipal and parliamentary elections, members of the European Parliament, U.S. candidates for Senate and governor, and candidates for Australia's House of Representatives. They asked participants to rate the photographs on a five-point scale. The results suggested that politicians on the right are more beautiful on all three continents.

From hemp granny skirts to gross Birkenstock sandals to full sleeve tattoos to ear gauges to long greasy hair to older Subarus and Volvos...there’s a definite look about them that is unattractive.

Maybe that’s why I’m conservative..I’m just so darn beautiful! (hehehe)

[MayflowerMadam]

Well duh. They had to do a study to come to this conclusion?

Beauty is as beauty does.
Ugly is as ugly does.

You know what? Every time I’d hear or read about the “amazingly beautiful” first lady Michelle Obama, or see her compared to Jackie Kennedy, I had to ask myself....WTH are they seeing? Surely it’s not the same MO that I see with my good vision.
