This is Anders Borg, Finance Minister in Sweden since 2006. He has had long hair since the 90s.
He also won the swedish price "Swedens best celebrity hairstyle 2009" citing "Anders Borg is a true inspiration for men to grow long hair, and still be successful in work and life.You can keep your long hair even if your job requires a suit He is considered a trend setter."
move along, nothing to see here
Pretty cool. Unfortunately even as liberal as Canada is, I don't think we will have a politician in the upper levels of Government with long hair anytime soon! :P Ah well, maybe someday. ^^
I'd call that a longhair success story. Even if it's in Sweden.
