What if Count Binface wins?

[AviatorTom]

There is an chance that Absurd Galactic Candidate Count Binface might get more votes than Reform UK Party Nigel Farage (who quit his seat in Parliament to run for it again, long story) in Clacton England's Parliamentary by-election on 13 August 2026.

Do you think Binface might win? And if he does, what do you think will happen?

[purplepoppy]

Originally it was just binface standing against Führer Farage but now 32 other fringe candidates have joined in which will dilute binfaces chances.

A bit background. Clacton is a shithole, it's been like that for decades long before the migrants came. High unemployment, high crime rates, low education levels, low skill levels, low wages. It's 95% white rough as a badgers arse but some how migrants are to blame.

Binface has already won. He's had a huge amount of media attention, and if farage wins the best he can say is he beat a bin. Given Farages background of taking money from foreign criminals and not declaring gifts I think he'll still win but not as convincingly as he hopes and with his reputation in taters.

A binface win could be good for Clacton. It would bring in a lot of media attention and visitors. It could even improve job prospects, companies tend to avoid shitholes like Clacton because of the type of person who lives there and having a far right extremist in charge of them as well doesn't exactly encourage inward investment.

If you strip away the joke and see binface for what he is , someone using humour to make a point and expose the absurd, then many of his policies actually make sense.

Farage 63% binface 27%. That's a shallow victory.

On the plus side, the investigation is back on!

Political sock puppet show, why not with Binface?
UK problems are systematic and touching those problem will cause stability and control loss, that's why no political option will touch it.
It's the same like Musk in his naivety thought he can optimize US govt. expenditures. He will cut here and there and billions will be saved, however this doesn't work this way in a political system that only keeps together because of money flow for sinecures, subsides and interest pays to bond and loan owners.

I express no opinions on UK politics and wish that the Brit users on this site had the same sense of decorum and civility to not act as officious and sanctimonious intermeddlers in the arenas of US politics.

[MrChinaski]

Hi platform is that he is not Nigel Farage. It's quite a compelling argument.

[strateguy632]

he will win and join france maritime to force open the strait so oil tankers go in and out.

[Shiprex]

GOOD, then someone who is not in thrall to capital or racists can be in charge

[Darthskywalker6969]

Hey, UK, are you okay? Do you need help? Blink twice for yes.

[CaptainSmartass]

He won't. Nobody in their right mind would vote for some nutter with a bin on his head.

Simples...

[RavVid]

He shouldn't because Count is un British wog title. It would be distressing if Brits voted for a wog.

If he changed gender it would be OK cause Countess is a perfectly good British title.

[purplepoppy]

I thought wogs were indian

[RavVid]

@purplepoppy The way it was explained to me was that everybody East of Calais and West of Cardiff is a wog in British eyes.

We have much the same view but use different cities.

[Anonymous]

He'll defer back to one of the other left wing parties that installed him

[NathanDavis]

then he will sit, at the parliament...

[canamlusciouslad73]

Who the freak is Count Binface?

[CaptainSmartass]

He's some lunatic who wears a bin on his head and thinks he's an alien. He turns up in every genital election hoping to be voted in on some crazy cause.

[canamlusciouslad73]

@CaptainSmartass Genital election as in s*x?
