So, my postal vote arrived for the Clacton by-election...

[Username19893847477374]

It will take a moment to be visible I imagine, but there are over 30 candidates standing. Many not seriously, as we know. What a farce.

It also shows that if young people don't change their minds, the Greens will do better as time goes by. The cause isn't the point, it's what that means for government going forward.

Yes, violence against women is horrific and I think it would be a great idea to not import more potential perpetrators. That would be step 1 in solving it.
Andrew Tate is a horrible misogynistic so I'm equally shocked anyone would praise him, even Farage should've known better.

We're*ucked.
Literally just got to hope that everything won't crumble under the Greens if they ever get in. And they might in a decade or so.

OP, whatever you decide, please vote.

I still don't understand why a sitting MP can resign, triggering a by-election, and then stand in that election. It's ridiculous.

Count Binface has a manifesto pledge to prevent it.

If he wins, there could be a Members bill that gets parliamentary support.

I don't know how independents are allocated members bills. But then neither would Nigel Farage.

Farage is an unashamed misogynist, though, so he was always going to be a fan of Andrew Tate.

At least all those lost deposits will help to offset the cost to the public of this wholly unnecessary election.

Thing is, Count Binface doesn't really need a load of (serious or otherwise) party policies. He just needs to turn up and do his best to promote Clacton's interests and work for its people as a constituency MP. Martin Bell managed as an Independent, there is precedent.

Zack Polanski is not an MP.

And Farage makes Neil Hamiton look like Mother Theresa.

As you know there is a big difference between Quantitative Easing and printing money:
Quantitative Easing (QE): The central bank creates digital money electronically to buy existing assets—like government bonds—from commercial banks and financial groups. It is an asset swap; banks trade bonds for electronic central bank reserves.
Money Printing: The government or central bank creates physical banknotes and coins, or directly funds state spending and consumer checks, injecting cash straight into the public economy.

Where the Money Goes
Quantitative Easing: Funds stay trapped inside the banking system as digital reserves. Banks hold these reserves or use them to trade assets, which inflates stock and property prices rather than daily consumer goods.
Money Printing: Cash goes directly into the hands of citizens and businesses. This increases public spending power quickly and tends to cause rapid consumer price inflation.

Money printing causes sharp increases in inflation whereas QE causes increases in asset values and can be unwound.

I dislike Farage
But unforseen consequence iv seen is that teens are talking about elections. They are loving count bin face - he is a joke but I love the fact teens are actually discussing politics

Well as both the government and the opposition are committed to reducing immigration, and progress is being made, there should be no need for anyone to have to compromise their anti sexist principles and vote for Farage. Or indeed any of the other assorted sexists, criminals, racists, fraudsters and incompetents he fields as candidates. Particularly as his promises to 'tow the boats back to France' are complete pie in the sky.

VOTE FOR THE BIN - TAKE OUT THE TRASH!

Bragging about using hypnotism to enlarge women's breasts. Endorsing a Farage beheading t shirt, being hostile towards Jews- his being a jew means naff all. Hating on women. There are some hypocrites on here. Backing a populist comedy candidate whilst complaining Reform aren't a serious party.

Sadly, they can only control legal immigration - people who are actually wanting to work and whose identities can be checked.
The boats with men we know *uck all about are still coming. And with the greens in power, I think they would all be more than welcome.

Exactly. People conveniently forget that Polanski is a huge misogynist, too.

If Farage wins this by election
there has to be another one within a few weeks

what an utter waste of taxpayer money

All this froth about Zac. Desperate times

It's been rumoured that some of the other candidates are former Reform members. Trying to dilute the Count Binface vote.

Wouldn't surprise me.

Vote Binface

Exactly. His party should be made to pay for the entire cost.

That would be illegal.

But I reckon it is costing Reform quite a bit in damage limitation.

Binface all the way.
Nigel isn’t the answer, even as a counter to Polanski, they’re both sides of the same coin imho.
