An extremely important article that shows how looks influence political processes.
A lot of people nowadays say that the appearance is less important than "inner beauty", which I believe I a huge hypocrisy. Mainly because when we see someone for the first time, the thing we notice first is the way the person looks.
This is acceptable in our day-to-day life but is it okay to use the same tactics when it comes to electing politicians for instance?
I personally think this is some form of rational ignorance, when a major part of the electorate does not even know what candidates have to offer and are not able to distinguish between them.
My view is that voters, who pay attention to the appearance of the candidate, just waste their votes that can be determining for the future of the country.
