I’m looking forward to the first Clacton poll. I still don’t think Binface will win but would be quite happy to be wrong.

Given they voted Farage in as their MP, I think the safest bet is to assume that old FrogFace will get 4 times as many votes as last time.
When news voxpops are full of Clactonites (Clactonians?) saying…
“Farage? He gave us Brexit which I now think was wrong, he’s never here, he doesn’t answer emails/ letters, his finances are as dodgy as fook, he doesn’t seem to have any interest in being our MP or helping Clacton. If truth be told he’s been a bad MP.”
“So who will you vote for?”
“Oh, Nigel definitely.”
… I can’t see many brain cells suddenly sparking into life around the area to put right their previous idiotic decision.

I’m always wary of vox pops, I’m not sure that the High Street at 3 o’clock on a Tuesday is necessarily going to offer a cross section of the local population .

Yes, me too of course! That was just a silly example. I am just far too cynical to believe that the turkeys have realised it’s September and they’re not being fattened up to keep them warm over the cold winter…
Me too, sadly, but am hopeful at least some of those who would have voted for another party will vote for binface.
I bet he regrets it now. Though the alternative would have been a Putin puppet.
After the Times ran the latest story, he referred to it as Left Wing. I don’t suppose his supporters will ever know whether its left or right wing as most of them are still scraping their knuckles along the floor, a long way from being able to read.
Murdoch must be furious to have one of his publications referred to as Left Wing.
There’s a certain sense of chickens coming home to roost.
He’s another loathsome criminal little squit devoid of moral compass. Ugh. His parents must be ghastly too, seeing what he is like.

Yes, it is comedic!
Should we start a new thread celebrating the Clacton election, where the sitting MP has resigned - to be re-elected? Because it seems there is a lot of history in it…. and this farce is going to run, baby!
To acknowledge the Guardian -
The Hollywood director of Gremloids, Todd Durham, made contact with David Hughes, a former press officer to the original 1987 Buckethead. Durham persuaded Hughes to stand as Buckethead in Boris Johnson’s Uxbridge constituency.
Binface drowned out Buckethead’s interviews by singing The Star-Spangled Banner, and Buckethead flipped the finger at Binface as the results were announced.
“I think I did get more votes than him,” said Hughes. “But we went for drinks and I thought, actually he’s cool. So then Buckethead posted on Twitter – I had control of the Twitter in those days – saying: ‘I’m an impostor. The true heir to the Buckethead throne is Count Binface, and I hereby endorse him.’”
“And there is that endless joke: there is one absurd, parody, completely inappropriate candidate – and he is standing against Count Binface. That one is kind of funny.”
Here’s another possible next move / headline -
“Farage challenges all sitting MP’s to resign and restand”
(Err, that’s a general election …)
or -
Reform officially renames itself ‘Restand’ !
Nigel - what does reform stand for?
“It’s simple, we keep standing until either our electors die off or the parliamentary standards commissioner - which ever first”
Yep, where those Non-Reform votes go is going to be interesting. I’d love to get the vibe in Clacton,. Would you really want Binface as your MP? If so, why? Protest vote? Anti-Farage/Reform vote? A laugh?
I personally wouldn’t now how to vote. I wouldn’t want Farage/Reform but I would want political representation. Or is that naive anyway now? May as well vote for the farce option, make my feelings known that way.
Yes, an intelligent and cultivated person with sound and progressive policies. Can’t see any reformists liking that.
