Survey shows majority of beard wearers prefer not to vote for a clean-shaven Prime Minister
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that special General Election research it has commissioned, shows that a majority of voters with a beard prefer not vote for a clean-shaven Prime Minister.
The research was carried out face to face, via telephone and social media on 4-6th December in north-east London.
The findings were clear in that 65% of beard wearers who responded to a BLF survey said they could not trust a clean-shaven Prime Minister.
The news come as Tory candidate for Mansfield Ben Bradley regained the Parliamentary Beard of the Year Award on Friday.
The Beard Liberation Front says that while the last Prime Minister with beard, Lord Salisbury in 1902, was a Tory there remains a view amongst the hirsute that the Tories are not a beard friendly party.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, our research has shown that most beard wearers wont back a clean shaven Prime Minister. In the last week of the campaign Boris Johnson has it all to do if wants the hirsute vote.
