Party colleagues suggest facial hair could deter voters
Tory MPs in the UK are saying goodbye to their beards after being advised that the facial hair could be a turn-off to voters. Several senior Conservatives have recently opted for a clean-shaven look, with one MP revealing that he shaved on the recommendation of his colleagues. While it is not an official instruction from the party's head office, many MPs have taken note of the suggestion.
Chris Philp and Tom Loughton among those ditching their whiskers
Among the MPs who have shaved off their beards in recent weeks are Home Office Minister Chris Philp and Tom Loughton. Philp, 47, cited a negative family reaction as the reason for his decision, while Loughton revealed that former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was famously against beards, considering them a turn-off for the electorate. Loughton himself has conducted polls among his constituents to decide whether to keep his beard or not.
Overall, it seems that Tory MPs are willing to shed their facial hair in order to appeal to voters, although many have indicated that they plan to grow it back after the election.
