With the German election only seven weeks away one politician has launched a poster campaign that has sparked controversy.
Vera Lengsfeld of the Christian Democrats, who is campaigning in the east of Berlin, has billboard-sized pictures of herself in a low-cut dress next to a picture of Chancellor Angela Merkel in an even more revealing number.
The poster's strap line reads "We have more to offer".
The image has been dividing opinion in Germany.
Europe Today's Rebecca Kesby asked Vera Lengsfeld why she thought this campaign was a good idea.
