Election suits - GET REAL

Yesterday on BBC 2 there was a foreign affairs debate between the three party candidates who want to be foreign minister.

But, the Lib Dem guy was dressed in what looked like a suit from a trash bin. It was disgraceful. It looked dirty, over sized and just plain rubbish. Hague needs to improve. Miliband was just ok.

Also last night I saw a LibDem candidate on Newsnight in Scotland in what can only be described as an over sized suit - down the arms etc and a disgrace.

What is it about British candidates running for office with such rubbish suits that are usually -
OVERSIZE
DARK BLACK
POOR MATERIAL
LOOK OLD AND OUT OF DATE
THREE BUTTON, ALWAYS DONE UP (instead of the middle button only)
HAVE LITTLE WHITE SPECKS ON THEM

What they all need to do, especially the leaders is to take a lead from:
FRENCH POLITICIANS
ITALIAN POLITICIANS

These guys know what to do, how to wear suits and what colours and combinations look good.

Brit politicians need to get GOOD SUITS, SMART SHIRTS and PLAIN SILK TIES.

Also, they could all learn a lot from Barack Obama and Bill Clinton who know how to dress well and simply in suits.

The CLUES?
WEAR NEAT DARK BLUE SUITS
WEAR WHITE SHIRTS
WEAR PLAIN BLUE, RED, PINK TIES. or TIES WITH NEAT STRIPPED PATTERNS.

For heavens sake get real and LOOK GOOD,
At the moment they look shabby, crumpled, dirty and crappy.
