Australian Researchers have found that good looks can add 2 per cent to a candidate’s votes. That must be the reason why more and more film stars are entering into politics. Special beauty parlours and body shops could be opened during the campaigning days. Imagine Captain Amarinder singh and Parkash Singh Badal applying special face packs before going out for an election rally.
