This post probably needed more work, but I am sick of looking at it.
This is Heidi Alexander, Secretary for Transport in England. At the launch of unveiling a livery for trains taken back into public ownership after years of private operation has been proven to be a failure, she was at Brighton Railway Station to launch the new livery of Great British Railways.
If you are in the US, Canada or Australia, this is not how a woman in public office would appear in public. That's perhaps so for most countries.
Politicians and spokespersons need to be super groomed, with tailored clothing, good hair and good makeup, men and women both. It's not that Alexander can't glam up if she wants.
Heidi was none of those at the media occasion. She is a good speaker, clearly passionate about her role and spoke sensibly. In the US #47's leading women, past and present are super groomed but frankly talk a lot of crap, spitting out lie after lie. Yes, Leavitt, Bondi, along with dog killer Noem.
I care more about the spoken honesty from Alexander rather than how she is dressed or made up.

I think I would agree with you there. A knowledgeable "normal" looking female is preferable to a Barbie doll spouting inane and incorrect rubbish when it comes to running a country.
