在捷克今年5月举行的大选中，女性获得的议会席位超过以往。捷克“公共事务党”的四位女议员特别拍摄了一套2011年的挂历照以庆祝这一胜利。照片中，女议员们一改往日议员古板、严肃的形象，衣着大胆暴露，姿势暧昧撩人，丝毫不比专业模特逊色。

Female members of the Czech parliament have posed for a glamorous calendar to highlight the growing presence of women in Czech politics.

Female members of the Czech parliament have posed for a glamorous（迷人的，富有魅力的） 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（固定的，沉着的） 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（长袍，礼服） .

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 coalition² negotiations³ 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 previously⁴ used glamour⁵（魅力，魔力） to highlight its strong female presence. During the election campaign four of the women who appear in the calendar posed for a billboard⁶ poster wearing black swim suits.

As further evidence that few in the Czech Republic have qualms⁷（良心之谴责，不安） over spicing the world of politics with touch of glamour and sex appeal, in the days after the election the glossy⁸ women's magazine "Ona" (She in English) encouraged readers to vote for "Miss Parliament", asking them to choose their favourite female MP.
