Misread the thread title as "Would you trust bread solely on appearance?" and was thoroughly disappointed by the true contents of the thread.
Who would you trust based solely on appearance?

I've often trusted bread solely on appearance only to be thoroughly disappointed by the true contents of the bread.

Indeed.
Yup.
From least to most trustworthy:
4. Probably a fascist.
6. The first law of thermodynamics usually doesn't apply to moral and legal responsibility in the corporate world. That's probably the only reason this guy isn't in jail.
1. Mixture of 4 and 6, but also a narcicist, so i have hope that he's incompetent at both tasks due to distraction by mirrors.
7 & 2. Union bosses, largely incompetent, mostly harmless, technically authoritarian but will be busy spending ill-gotten money on booze and hookers.
3. A damn "woman in politics" who talks sexist nonsense about the superiority of "women in politics" and makes half-assed attempts at implementing sexist legislation, otherwise mostly harmless.
5. Yeah, i'd go with that one...

Tell us a bit about those people. What are their political positions?

Let's see.
1. is center-right party and moderate nationalist. He was elected president two years ago under the ticket of a fiscal pact, an agreement for a more just financing of Catalonia. On 9/11, our national day, +1 million people took the streets of Barcelona claiming for independence, and when the Spanish government said "lolnope" to the fiscal pact, he called for elections with the promise of a referendum to decide the future of Catalonia.
2. is the leader of the center-left party, currently in free-fall and falling even more tomorrow. If the party gets -20 representatives, he's going to cease to be the leader. They're against the referendum and defend federalism (which is a slightly more asymmetrical version of what Spain is today, and died when Madrid's Constitutional Court deemed unconstitutional many parts of the Estatut de Catalunya in 2010). So no-damn-body is gonna vote for him, because he is neither entirely pro-union or pro-secession. His party is the local branch of a Spain-wide one, PSOE.
3. Leader of PPC, the right wing party and local branch of the Spanish PP. Completely pro-union, defends a lighter version of 1.'s ticket last election and no referendum. May take 2.'s position in number of representatives tomorrow.
4. Leader of ERC, nationalist left-wing party, they've always been pro-independence since democracy in the 1970s, and is the only local party to exist since the Second Spanish Republic and still today have representation in a parliament. They're all for the referendum, and may become the second force in the parliament tomorrow. (3-way tie)
5. Eco-socialists. Name says all. Also, they're the offspring of PSUC, the old communist party of Catalonia that ceased to be in the 80s. They also support the referendum, although their stand on independence is unclear.
6. Far right-wing, although more in relation to the other forces than anything. They support the suppression of economic fomentation of the use of Catalan and other measures, mainly in the field of culture and language destined to end with Catalan. Although the rest of their policies oscillate between left and right.
7. Independentist. That's all. He's from Valencia.

Not surprised with the description of #6, he really looks the type "young psychopath manager".
I actually liked #4 the most on looks. The Russian Mob impression did came to mind
but it's not even nearly as bad as the suspicion aroused by clear-shaved business-suited young men. Somehow the beard kind of cancels the suit?
#2 also looked nice but, as someone said, too nice - politicians smiling like that always reminds me of the bloody "socialists" who are anything but socialist.
The woman from the PP... JoanK, you searched for the worst possible photo of her, didn't you? Don't it's so bad it actually causes pity! Which I'm sure she doesn't deserve.

Yeah, wel, there weren't better photos of her in that size I was looking for. The others were all talking, and you don't want to see her look EVEN MORE like a genetically modified chimpanzee.
Yeah, I've seen her on TV today and the pictures of her posted here are really rather unflattering.The woman from the PP... JoanK, you searched for the worst possible photo of her, didn't you? Don't it's so bad it actually causes pity! Which I'm sure she doesn't deserve.
Well
I wouldn't trust any of these people with a pencil sharper, never mind with the Catalan nation because as soon as the bad evil Castilians go away, they'll be as a corrupt as gently caress and probably worse than any politician in Madrid.

Trust or vote for? A stupid person often seems easier to read and therefor also to trust, but would I vote for the most stupid looking person?

Number 5 looks the most trustworthy. Based on the information that he's a politician, though, I probably wouldn't trust him.

I don't think so, I think that this is the only photo in which she doesn't take after Jar Jar Binks

My initial guess would have been 3, because she's ugly, and ugly people usually have to work harder and be nicer to get ahead in life than attractive ones. 7 looks like a fat Michael Palin, though, so I might vote for him.
