David Cameron: Ladies’ Choice for ‘Fantasy Prime Minister’

david1.jpg According to a recent poll conducted by Red Magazine, London’s thirty-something career women prefer David Cameron to Gordon Brown as their ‘fantasy prime minister’. The survey shows that many women have yet to make up their minds over which party to support due to being torn over topics ranging from tax breaks for marriage to transferable maternity and paternity leave. However, the poll results reveal that a dazzling smile, a certain sparkle in the eye, and the ability to make a decent omelet are must-have qualities and skills for the perfect candidate (looking good in a pair of swimming trunks doesn’t hurt either) as Barack Obama gets top pick with 26% of votes and Jamie Oliver comes in at 7th place. Also, the so-called members of the ‘Sex and the City Generation’ still like to shop as made evident by the fact that 77% of women who took the survey visit the same stores they did before the recession. Yet to be seen is whether a serious survey on a similar topic will be published. (Image/JudyGr)

    What a patronising, reductive pile of twaddle, aimed, apparently, at making women look like silly, shallow little airheads. Call me crazy, but I vote based on policy, not on looks (I’ll leave aside the – I think – preposterous notion that DC is remotely attractive)

      Bel-if your comment is directed at me rather than the survey then I apologise for not making my total disgust with the survey more apparent.

      I agree that women are indeed concerned with actual policy and find it appalling that their shopping interests and ‘fantasy’ candidates are supposedly indicative of which party they will eventually support. I am also concerned that some women consider Cameron to be their ‘fantasy’ candidate (yuk).

        No, sorry Caroline, should’ve made clear, I know you were just reporting this insulting piece of cr@p from Red Magazine!

    That the women of London put the words “fantasy” and “David Cameron” in the same sentence is troubling, and reflects badly on the city’s male population, who have so evidently mistreated the female of the species that they’re forced to lie back and think of Dave’s bloated face.

      I do that *all* the time. Or at least, shall from now on. Er, thanks for that Dean…

    When I think of David Cameron (beyond all the spin and the political u-turns), I see a man who wants to be the first in modern history to overturn an act against cruelty. A man who knows that the hunts have been creating artificial earths for years in order for foxes to breed, so they can pretend to be in the game of ‘pest control’. A man who instead of encouraging drag hunting which ensures the jobs, the pageantry, the heritage, and the social hunting events are intact, would rather they go back to terrifying and killing animals for fun.

    As a lifelong Tory, I see the true nature of a man who supports this level of cruelty and yet speaks of healing ‘Broken Britain’ and a ‘return to a decent society’ – and frankly I’m appalled at what I see.
