Letting politicians accept private funding is arguably worse, as it beholds them to private interests.

I've heard Count Binface is saying there was confusion at the polls. Voters could not tell the candidates apart as both are filled with garbage.
Farage also faced criticism for failing to turn up to the Clacton count in Essex, saying he had been told by police of an organised attempt at disruption
Maybe the could have snuck him in a catering truck.
Unfortunately, this whole thing sounds like another Trumpian story where everyone goes "it's all over for him now" and he just keeps chugging along.
And here's the thing that a lot of short minded people missed.
Count Binface was never going to win, but that was never the point. If you seriously thought that. Then you need to get your head checked.
The entire point, was to make a farce out of Farage's grandstanding.
That's why no major party ran, the probe would happen anyway.
And guess what, it worked.
Count Binface was everywhere going into this election and everywhere coming out of it.
Binface won.
Binface got a quarter of the votes, no? That's not nothing.
The guy was being investigated for corruption so dropped his seat and triggered this circus. And they voted for him again.
Same as trump. He mismanaged the pandemic to the tune of about 800.000 excess deaths, plus all the other crimes, and he won even bigger the second time. Despite what echo chambers on lemmy tell us, people out the really support these clowns.
Yes, they like the ideas. Those ideas feel right to them. And consequences of those ideas, because most don't work in practice, get blamed on the implementation, ideally blamed on some scape goat. Then they'll vote for the next one promising those ideas.
There actually was not a real chance. As said all other candidates stepped down. By winning he just hands himself back in for investigation and if or when found guilty teller he will have to step down. It’s better than martyring him.
Am I getting that right...
What a fucking clown (and I'm not talking about the bin...)
The fact that he won just means that the country is certified stupid; binface was obviously more qualified

Clacton* is certified stupid, which is kinda well understood since it's one of the most right wing areas of the country.
The rest of the country when polled would rather binface over Farage by 12%
