Why do celebs go all political?

Oh so true , I do wish they would stick to things they can do , you don't see politicians harping on about their tactics in sport .. I do so hate this time of year ,it would be so much better if every one was more positive about our government instead of slagging them off , tbh this coalition has not done bad at all and sometimes hope they will stay in power ... The only way change can really take place is if they change the way the country is governed and replace it with a President and none of this junk that goes on in parliament  

Its just simple product endorsement, lucrative for the celebrity and a lot of people like to feel reassured seeing a familiar face. Just like seeing a famous face selling car insurance, you know they don't work for the insurance firm, but its a proven concept.

Few people sit and analyse manifestos, so voting decisions are made on sound bites, celebrity endorsements and peer pressure.  

Well this one seems to have back fired!

Karen Brady apparently encouraged small business owners to sign a 5000 strong letter of support, published by the Telegraph, which it seems was full of dupes and originated from Tory HQ.

This has led to a social media backlash, with one business demanding to be taken off the list as they never signed it!

At least they got a good social media boost out of it and plenty of Newspaper coverage

Are the politicians paying them?

Now there's a controversial statement, couldn't possibly comment
