London
(ANI):
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.
