Nigel Farage is the leader of Reform UK, a far right party who are currently in the process of a serious bid to become the UK government. they are just straight up evil.

Count Binface is an intergalactic space warrior with a bin on his head. he likes to run as a novelty candidate in general and mayoral elections. a big thing he likes to do is run as a candidate against the incumbent prime minister:

Anyway, in brief:

Nigel Farage is currently in the midst of a big scandal about his finances

He has decided to deal with this by 1) making a show of nobly resigning from parliament and then 2) immediately running in the resulting by-election

He has stated that he is letting 'the people' judge his actions and implied that if he wins that will prove that he has been exonerated in the court of public opinion

His goal was presumably to get a big resounding win over the other parties, proving that The People still love him.

the other parties have thus far decided that this is a 'vanity election' and, well, there is one very easy way to ensure that he will not beat any of them, and that is simply not to play.

and as a result the only person who has so far confirmed they are running against him is Count Binface. no matter the outcome this makes Nigel Farage look like, u know, a fucking clown.

Her and Grandpa were in a relationship with their best friends

The four of them have been in a relationship since they were teenagers

They flipped a bottle cap to see which girl the boys would marry

Their children could have either man as their biological father but their biological mother is the mum that raised them

Quick explanation for the Americans™.

The UK's answer to Trump, and a very close Trump. Ally, is Nigel Farage, a hard right wing politician.

Recently, it was exposed that he took £5 million pounds in bitcoin from a bitcoin billionaire living in Thailand, and it also transpired that he was taking gifts from a convicted criminal, both of these things were not presented to parliament as conflicts of interest.

Alongside that, he also failed to register three of his five houses.

On Tuesday he released a pre-recorded speech (so we couldn't be questioned by any journalists) where he said that he is being persecuted, that the establishment is out to get him, and that they are going after his family. He then announced that he was going to resign (triggering a by election) and then running up by election to " let the people of Clacton (his constituency) decide.

Now he's not too popular in his own constituency because he is barely ever there. Apparently he's not held a single surgery in his constituency (a surgery is where you can come and meet your MP and talk about concerns and issues, one of the main jobs in MP actually does).

If he loses his seat, it means that he doesn't have to face the parliamentary inquiry and be officially convicted of all the things that he's being accused of, meaning he could run again.

But if he wins his seat, he will face a parliamentary inquiry, be convicted (because it's really obvious he did it, he even admits it), and then he gets kicked out his seat and cannot run again. This is the scenario that all the parties are betting on and why they're not running; they want him to win so he can be investigated, Found guilty, kicked from his seat, and then a by-election held where all of them can run.

So all the parties are refusing to run in the current Clacton By-election, even restore Britain, which is to the right of reform UK, are refusing to run.

However, one person has declared that he is running:

Count binface, a joke candidate who despite being a joke candidate, actually has some good policy and points.
