Count Binface has a genuine chance against Nigel Farage!

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.

Voters also have to get off their arse to vote for Farage too.

I don’t think it’s necessarily the case that there will be more enthusiasm across Clacton to vote for Farage than there will be to vote for Binface, on the contrary.

The older you are, the more likely you are to get off your arse and vote.

The older you are, the more likely you are to vote Reform.

Remember when people thought that 'the youth' were super excited and newly motivated to vote because of Corbyn 'connecting with them' in 2017 and then it turned out they largely didn't get off their arses and vote after all?

Is voting for a joke candidate because it would be funny if the serious candidate lost enough of a motivator?

For many, the motivation won’t be primarily to do this for a laugh (though I’m sure they’d find it funny), but rather to end Nigel Farage’s career once and for all…. That’s a pretty big motivation I’d have thought for a significant proportion of the 54% who didn’t vote for him in 2024.

Oh dear, Reform are now accusing BinFace of being a lefty elitist and want to know who’s funding him. This is too funny.
Agree that it’s less about voting for BF and more about ending NF. And if Reform make themselves look a laughing stock in the process, all the better.

27.9% (so more than half) of those people voted for the Tory, who had previously won Clacton with 72.3% of the vote. I don't think it's a given that a large enough proportion of those were making an anti-Farage vote that they'd switch to voting Binface rather than switching to Farage or staying at home. Another 0.3% of the vote went to UKIP. Are they Binface or Farage?

Oh dear following on from the earlier "fascist " comment, the bollocks buzzword bingo continues with calling anyone who is to the political right a "racist".

It's really getting tiresome and predictably the response just for flagging this will be "then you must also be a racist or racist sympathiser".

Now if someone can use the word "Nazi" in an accusatory post then I can call "House" on bollocks buzzword bingo.

It's not a buzzword, it's an accurate description based on the fact that both Fox and Farage* have said racist things. If they don't want to be thought racist they... shouldn't do that sort of thing.

(*The Fox and Farage - worst pub name ever?)

If it walks like a racist, talks like a racist and quacks like a racist; it probably is a racist.

Is there a particular way that a racist walks or a particular way that they talk?

I know that left handedness is associated with witchcraft- is it similar to that?

OK - exactly what racist things has Farage said on record? Or is it simply third party allegations with no evidence?

I mean I heard from a bloke in the pub who heard it from his hairdresser who heard from his cousin that Farage is in cahoots with Satan himself so it must be true.
