Page 22 | Count Binface has a genuine chance against Nigel Farage!

Justveryveryangry · 2026-07-08T07:12:42+00:00

Sounds crazy but… None of the major parties are competing… Farage won Clacton with 46% of the vote… If the 54% united together to vote for Binface, we could have the most preposterous election outcome of all time! I reckon this could get some genuine momentum… all the other parties would LOVE this result, and even if they didn’t actively campaign for it, would surely quietly be gunning for Binface to win.

So we’ve now moved to him being under pressure to quit, which is some distance from the earlier comments about him accepting bribes. He still didn’t trouser £5 million in dodgy crypto though.

well Farage is a joke already. Binface would be a far far better MP. He would be an improvement.

Uricon2 · 08/07/2026 20:36

Frankly, Count Binface could be the actual Spawn of Satan and if he didn't come out with the divisive bollocks that Farage and his ilk spew, it would be enough. Deeds not words, so asking the the Reform supporters to equal anything that comes close to the racist abuse NF directed at his classmates (when he was 18 and an adult) as condemnation against Binface, that is a start.

Come on then.

Couldn't be worse than the current MP who does SFA for his constituents.

Don't worry. I've learnt it can't be cronyism if its Labour, and that is exactly the type of person people want at have in Number 10. Any connection of that job to standing down for Burnham is entirely coincidental. Let's get back to the wonders of Binface, a true anti corruption candidate - first step Reform,. next step build a Binface party to take over the country. .

I didn’t say they’d be effective in Clacton, I said they’d be better than Farage’s. Remember 54% of voters didn’t vote for him in 2024.

I do remember because it's where I live. That 54% includes people who didn't vote at all and likely won't again. To think all 54% who didn't vote for NF would vote for Binface in a by-election is just... Well, it's just obviously not going to happen, is it?

No it doesn't 46% of people who voted, voted for Farage. 54% of people who voted voted for someone else.

I don't think people who didn't want him last time are going to vote for him this time, and I'd expect that at least some of those who did are fed up with these antics.

Oooh the fightback against Binface has begun on twitter. They have found out that he is an 'Oxford Elite' who has always hated Farage.

"He’s an establishment luvvie sent to try to undermine the aspirations of people who vote for right wing candidates or parties." Is a direct quote.

Yeah, that's why he stood against Burnham on the platform that elected Mayors should be required to finish their terms before standing for parliament.

The desperation is quite funny though.

Oxford Elite.

The 54% is of people who voted. It doesn’t include those who were eligible but couldn’t be arsed. I suspect turnout will improve this time.

No, I’m sorry but it was 54% of people who voted who voted for other parties. 28% voted Tory and 16% voted Labour, plus about 9% for others. Not of the full electorate. Turn out was 59% of an electorate of 78,000. So 41% did not vote at all.

All jokes aside, we do have a serious political problem in the UK with too many people entering politics for their own nefarious purposes and financial gain.

If we look at the reform councillors, the way they talk to other people is absolutely vile. The ones in Suffolk made a big deal about "we're not talking to the press...we won't answer questions from the public." they didn't even publicly announce any single policy yet still got voted in.

What reform haven't recognised is that to win a general election, you need to get people to vote for you who ordinarily wouldn't, and when you do get elected, you have to recognise you are the elected representative of everyone in your district, not just the ones who voted for you.

A few years ago, I saw Arnold Schwarzenegger interviewed on stage, and he was asked about being governor, and he said although he was a republican governor, he never lost sight of the fact that he was there to represent the people who voted for the democrats. He said the first thing he did was set up a cigar lounge (!!) near the capital, and invite everyone down to use it. He reckoned it was the time when he could sit and talk to other people one on one and ask "hey what are your priorities and how can I help you achieve them?" and then "these are my priorities, can you help me?" which shows how collaborative it should be.

My own local councillor voted for in May is a Tory. I didn't vote for him, but I already wish I had because his first priority has been to constantly go onto the local FB groups and introduce himself, saying "i'm so and so, i know many of you didnt vote for me, but I want to work hard and win your vote in the future...this is my priorities, here are my contact details, this is how you can get hold of me, this is how local council differs to district council..." even this morning, he's posted on the local FB page about a near miss for a young girl who jumped into the river at the weekend, with permission of her parents, saying "this happened on sunday, i'm already in touch with the council to put up more safety signs, thank god nothing happened and i want to make sure nothing does happen ever again"

as far as I'm concerned, THIS is the sort of man that should be higher in politics.

I got as far as this post, then didn't read anymore. This sets out the situation correctly. We need politicians that do their best for their community and in turn their country. Neither Binface nor Farage are going to do that. When the joke wears off, there is a constituency that has been let down.

Bin face is saying that he is going save £350,000 by not needing another bi-election. That's a familar number - he should put it on a bus!

Now that would be the most ironic bus in the world.

You would think AI would know that it's by-election.

To be fair there's no reason why someone from outside of the political establishment shouldn't win. MPs are just members of the public elected to represent their constituency - there's no reason why they have to be from a political class at all.

The precedent for "outsiders" and media personalities entering politics is well-set; Schwarzenegger, Trump, Zelenskyy. And there's a long tradition in Britain for comedy candidates. There's no reason why another comedian couldn't be an MP.

I still think sadly that it's not realistic that we'll have Count Binface, MP for Clacton (happy to be proved wrong), but there really is no reason why he couldn't be an MP in theory.

Binface will straight up save of 100s of thousands of taxpayer £££. Just by being elected! How much he could save the UK if he becomes an actual MP?

And there must be an age factor in this by-election, surely. In the normal way of things more older people tend to vote than younger. But that’s without a special reason for the young to turn out.

For this one I can imagine a lot of younger people voting Binface for the lols, eligible voters who didn’t bother voting before. So the 46% of non-Farageists who did vote previously plus a chunk of the 41% who didn’t vote could easily end up putting a X for Binface. All to play for!

I hadn’t thought about that but it’s a very rational analysis. I can see younger voters really going for Binface. It’s going to be interesting that’s for sure.

Got my pro- and anti-Farage percentages mixed up. I should have said “So the 54% of non-Farageists who did vote previously plus…”

It’s an even more Binface-tastic opportunity to oust Farage than I’d supposed.
