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.

Battler: What's the big deal, then...? Isn't that easy? Just poke a hole through it!

Beatrice: But the point of it is to do it magically...! Using a sphere that cannot be pierced, creased or bent sharply.... but can pass through itself...!

Beatrice: If you say so, then try it, Battler!

Battler: Okay... here goes... I'll just pull the two halfs through eachother!

Beatrice: Watch out, Ushiromiya Battleeeer....! You're pinching it infinitely tight....!

Battler: Uwooooo! It's useless....! It's all useless....It is impossible to turn a sphere inside out...!!

Beatrice: Ohhhh...really...?

Battler: Is this it...a....sphere turning inside out...!? What the fuck!?

Battler: But, but... but! I really couldn't follow it at all! It's useless, it can't be anything but magic!

"Gretel": Pathetic... falling for her just because she's dazzling you with words? If it's too hard to follow, simplify the problem...

[OST: Core]

Battler: A... a circle?

"Gretel": That's right, a circle. It's a 2D simplification of her 3D "trick"... so it should be much simpler to explain, right? Think it's possible to flip it around?

Battler: ...Ggh! How should I know!? And even if it is... how the hell would that prove it's possible in 3D!?

"Gretel": Hm... yeah, maybe it won't. But... don't you think it'll be useful to consider anyway...? It's like giving yourself ammunition for the full argument, right?

"Gretel": Anyway, flip your thinking around for a second... the useful fact here is that it's not possible in 2D.

Battler: The hell!? Ugh, that's useless, totally useless... no good at all...!

If you don’t want sliced bread, you want bread the way Eastern Indians make it you ask for Roti, not bread. Because Roti is bread THE WAY [EASTERN] INDIANS MAKE IT. Like fuck, it’s not that complicated a concept.
