I'd like to place the blame squarely with Farage, but it's not just him
Nominations have closed for the pointless, bullshit election Nigel Farage has forced on the people of Clacton, and this is the list of candidates.
You know without reading the entire list that 85, 90% of them don't care about the people they are purporting to be standing for, and that 85, 90% of them know they aren't going to be elected. They just want their 15 minutes of fame and just want to be on that platform come the 13th of August because every TV camera in the UK, every newspaper in the UK will be there to see them and make them famous, for however short a time.
85, 90% of them are utterly contemptible. They aren't doing this because they think they can win, or because they want to be MPs, or because they think they can beat him. They are doing it out of ego and some self-centred delusion.
Count Binface, even Laurence Fox, have a right to be there because they have a desire to win. To get elected and to make an actual point.
Farage is the fuckwhit who started all this and deserves nothing but contempt because he is just trying to escape scrutiny for everything he has done. He is claiming it is him versus the establishment but......... well just look at the list of people he is standing against. If these are the establishment then this country is in far more trouble than I thought.
So between him and the other thirty people, there is a lot of contempt and disgust to go around.
And I cannot believe that, right now, I am holding Laurence Fox in less contempt than Nigel Farage.
As they pay to be on the ballot, I doubt that there is any harm in their participation. Count Binface also does this mostly for fun; sure, he would be a better MP than Farage and probably would do an overall okay job, but that is not the main goal. The thing that all of these people do is turn this by-election into a joke. And it IS a joke, a joke that Farage started. Whether Binface can win is doubtful anyway, but if he does not win because of a "split vote", that will show that Farage can not win more votes than the joke candidates put together, and it will be overall quite close, and that will be enough to ruin Farage. If he shows he can not win against the joke candidates in Clacton, he can not become PM, because all over the country, people hate him.
