Justin Trudeau’s beard: electoral hit or miss?
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that elections in the last two months of thrown in sharp relief the electability of Canadian Premier Justin Trudeau’s beard.
Trudeau’s beard has been the subject of attack by pogonophobes not least in the Guardian, but the concern is that this may reflect an element of pogonophobic sentiment amongst the electorate.
First Jeremy Corbyn failed on December 12th 2019 to become the first UK Prime Minister with a beard since 1902. More recently Sinn Fein have led the poll in the Irish General Election after replacing their hirsute leader Gerry Adams.
The campaigners say that Trudeau can break the model but he needs to positively promote his beard
BLF Organiser Keith Flett, Trudeau could be the beard wearer that breaks the clean shaven mould though he is not doing well in the current Hairy Valentine poll
