Rose Byrne on women in politics: Full Disclosure | Bazaar UK

Rose Byrne has undergone a serious political education thanks to her past two jobs. She s been interested in feminism since she was a teenager, but her roles in Jon Stewart s latest film Irresistible and latterly the BBC s Mrs America about the 70s feminist movement have given her a broader understanding into politics both past and present. Byrne plays a Republican pundit in Irresistible, all blow-dried hair, slightly overdone make-up and appropriately conservative attire. It s not just the right-wing who are lampooned in Stewart s comedy - all political parties are mocked, but what it focuses on is how we have reached the political situation we re in, how the system works and why we elect the politicians we do.
