1 To think that the Clacton election campaign could permanently change how elections are fought in this country
This delightful video which illustrates a bit what I mean may make you smile as well

Bloody brilliant!

The deal with Clacton is a lot of mainstream media are a bit stuck in how to report because of the five Farage airtime they have to give the other contenders equal airtime. This would mean giving Binface equal attention but also, potentially, also the other 31 candidates. Normally they can ignore the more minor or "joke" candidates but it's hard to do that because they are all (including frog face) joke candidates

It's especially difficult for the likes of GB News who would probably like to centre Farage more but know that means platforming bin face and he would benefit from the publicity and run rings round them.

Tactical voters of Clacton...
Hold your noses, and vote for Binface!

I thought so too. Takes some kind of genius.

That's right, I wondered how that might pan out. Like- would there be a debate? Would Farage agree and who would be in it? If he doesn't agree will Binface take on other contenders?
And going forward could we see more of this type of intervention of entertainers in our elections? I dont think there's been such a direct influence since spitting image. But the puppets weren't actually standing!

Binface and the monster raving loonies have been in politics for a long time. Joke candidates are a feature of British politics. That hasnt changedm what has changed is that it's much harder to tell the difference between the joke candidates and the regular politicians running.

OMG @Warmlight1. Thank you so much for this.🌹

I didn't think the Clacton by-election could get any better. But I was wrong. So, so wrong. A Farage /Binface dance off to Chaka Khan?🤔
Like in that Breakdance film in the 80's?🤯

Brilliant.
👏👏😆

That's hilarious!

Gives the impression Farage actually spends time in Clacton though so it’s a bit far fetched.

Phwoarrrgh

Binface 4 Strictly Come Dancing ❤️😆

I wonder if he could point to it on a map 🤔.

When I first saw it I thought it was promoting BinFace!

So funny, and so well done. Whoever the singer is, he has a rather good voice.

The pink fluffy trousers are very nice too.

Thank you for this, @Warmlight1.

Has to be seen..!

There are so many perfect details. My favourite bit ...is all of it.

Haha! You are saying it could swing the other way!?

Well in future elections who knows?

Ah but then you'd say that Pudel, given your alter ego is the devil himself 🤣🤣

But the scale and sheer breadth of Count Binface's campaign is something new. I completely agree though, We love a bit of fun in the UK- And it's clear from the above- nobody does it better.
But is it something which will grow into a national habit in elections? Having a comic alter ego?
Should politicians nurture and use the inner clown ?

Obviously the artificial intelligence that made Nigel Farage appear to dance like that will also produce perfect vocals.

Are you saying that isn't really Nigel? ????

I’m afraid not. Whoever made this got the clothing wrong for Nigel in summer.

Well I for one certainly won't be calling to see both candidates in swimwear.
