“So sorry, for makthavarfrisyrer that has become the political norm is an inexhaustible topic. In the present day is Yulia Tymoshenko margaretaflätor of course, Geert Wilders is unlikely blond bakåtslick in the Netherlands and, not to forget, Anders Borg’s ponytail in the government Reinfeldt. Mocked, celebrated and talked about.”

“the World’s most iconic political hairstyle sits still on the american president. And it is, of course, not the only of his physical qualities that häcklas in season and out of season.”
