在捷克今年5月舉行的大選中,女性獲得的議會席位超過以往。捷克“公共事務(wù)黨”的四位女議員特別拍攝了一套2011年的掛歷照以慶祝這一勝利。照片中,女議員們一改往日議員古板、嚴(yán)肅的形象,衣著大膽暴露,姿勢曖昧撩人,絲毫不比專業(yè)模特遜色。目前,“公共事務(wù)黨”已經(jīng)開始公開出售這套掛歷,所得款項(xiàng)將全部用于慈善。該黨發(fā)言人表示,拍攝這本掛歷是為了彰顯女性在捷克政治中不可或缺的作用。在今年5月的捷克議會選舉中,下議院200個席位中女性首次占到44席,而且還出現(xiàn)了首位女議長,3名副議長中也有2名是女性。

Female members of the Czech parliament have posed for a glamorous calendar to highlight the growing presence of women in Czech politics.
The 2011 calendar features four women MPs from the Public Affairs party wearing little in the way of clothing in a series of images that dispatch the traditional image of staid and serious parliamentarians. The country returned its highest ever number of women MPs at the last general election.
Two other women, one the party's candidate for the mayor of Prague, make up the numbers, with each politician photographed twice for the calendar, which will be sold for charity.
"We want to draw attention to the fact that we have women in politics," said MP Lenka Andrysova, who appears in one shot in a thigh-high dress kneeling on a shelf.
Katerina Klasnova, the 32-year-old deputy speaker for the lower house of the Czech parliament, is photographed lying on a bed wearing a loose-fitting robe.
The Czech elections in May saw a record 44 women elected into the lower house of parliament. In a significant political shift, young parties such as Public Affairs, in which women have a stronger presence, entered parliament for the first time.
Public Affairs and Top09, another newcomer to the Czech parliament, are now involved in coalition negotiations to form the country's next government.
"Women's political influence is growing. Why not show we are women who aren't afraid of being sexy?" said Marketa Reedova, Public Affair's 42-year-old candidate for the Prague mayor's office.
Public Affairs has previously used glamour to highlight its strong female presence. During the election campaign four of the women who appear in the calendar posed for a billboard poster wearing black swim suits.
As further evidence that few in the Czech Republic have qualms over spicing the world of politics with touch of glamour and sex appeal, in the days after the election the glossy women's magazine "Ona" (She in English) encouraged readers to vote for "Miss Parliament", asking them to choose their favourite female MP.
