What happens if Count Binface wins?

Used to be the Monster Raving Loony Party in my day. Still, it's good to know politics moves on.

Amazing that the constituents are forced to choose between a talentless novelty candidate and Count Binface.

Nigel Farasshole is really pulling UK politics into the dumps

The reality is no one wants to vote for the 2 main parties. Here and all across the country And I don't think the binhead is an answer, even if funny Farage and Reform are still the only viable alternative Also the media gives 0 coverage to the hundreds of actual good independent candidates
