Simon Cowell to enter politics? |
Simon Cowell is being wooed
by the likes of British PM Gordon Brown and Conservative Party leader David Cameron
for getting into politics. Both the leaders believe that the 'X Factor' supremo
would make British politics more popular with young voters in the wake of the
expenses scandal. And, according to Chas Newkey-Burden, author of 'Simon Cowell:
The Unauthorised Biography', said that his reward could be a peerage, making the
50-year-old media mogul Sir Simon Cowell. "Simon Cowell is a rare combination.
He's incredibly rich and comes from a posh background but has the common touch,"
The Daily Star quoted him as saying. "He can push so many different buttons and
this makes him a red hot prospect for politicians. They would run over each other
to get to his side. "The public is so cheesed off with politics at the moment
and an endorsement from him could just swing it for one of the parties," he added.
The news comes as teenagers named Simon alongside Martin Luther King and Moses,
among the all-time greatest leaders in a poll for the Prince's Trust, which is
aimed at creating a generation of inspirational young leaders. A source close
to the X Factor supremo admitted: "Simon's happy making TV shows at present and
I cannot see him being interested in becoming an MP." "But a peerage might be
a different matter. After all, Alan Sugar and Andrew Lloyd-Webber are both Lords,
so why not Simon?" he said. Simon, whose fortune tops 100million pounds, has been
invited to a dinner at No 10. He has also dined with David Cameron. However, a
spokeswoman for Simon declined to comment. |
