Polish Women Seek Power

(Warsaw, Poland) The Polish Women's Party members are "beautiful, nude, proud," says novelist Manuela Gretkowska, the party's founder.

To attract attention, interest and new members, the party has created a poster featuring seven prominent Women's Party candidates in the nude. The seven are hoping to win seats in the October 21st parliamentary elections.

According to Gretkowska,

"This poster is intended to shatter stereotypes in the anachronistic world of politics, which is more often dominated by uncommunicative men with their black tie outfits." [ ... ]

"This is not pornography, there is nothing to see in terms of sex. Our faces are intelligent, concerned, proud."

The party has around 1,500 members with some celebrities and is intended to be a counterbalance to the ruling Law and Justice Party. Unfortunately, recent polling indicates that the Women's Party doesn't have much support.

Rather than being photographed nude, I'd suggest that overwhelming interest and support would be garnered if they campaigned in frilly nighties and resolved caucus disagreements through videotaped pillow fights.
