Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson reveals she was urged to wear lower cut tops to win voters

JO Swinson has revealed she has been urged to wear lower cut tops to help win voters.

The Lib Dem leader said she had received lots of “unsolicited advice”, including from those telling her to dress and speak differently.

Her party goes into the last week of campaigning lagging far behind in the polls, with some blaming her image.

She told the BBC: “I’m not short of people telling me that I should speak differently or wear different shoes or wear different earrings.

"Somebody suggested that I should wear lower cut tops. I mean as if that’s going to be the thing that changes the poll.”

She said the advice had not come from her election team and that male politicians weren’t treated the same way.

She vowed: "I am who I am and some people will not like the way that I dress or talk or my accent or whatever.”

Earlier the Lib Dem leader was forced to admit it now “doesn’t look likely” her party can win power on Thursday after it nose-dived in the polls.

A survey for Survation put the Lib Dems on just 11 per cent, well behind Labour on 31 per cent and the Tories on 45 per cent.

Ms Swinson’s personal ratings are also dire with a recent Deltapoll survey putting her on a net approval rating of -34 per cent – only marginally ahead of Jeremy Corbyn on -37 per cent.
