• fuck up by being the corrupt piece of shit you are
• call for an election arbitrarily in the best place you're polling in, in a desperate attempt pretend you're confident, claim you have a mandate from the people, and stir up political fights so you can claim you're being persecuted.
• all your rivals know exactly what you're doing and refuse to give you the satisfaction by not running.
• the only guy left in the race wears a bin on his head.
• people start questioning whether the bin guy might actually have a chance of winning against you.
• you win
• ???
• you've proven to the world you have political power?...
• you get investigated anyways.

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

I’ve taken no public money

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.

So the joke candidate lost and Count Binface won, exactly as predicted.

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.

The guy was being investigated for corruption so dropped his seat and triggered this circus. And they voted for him again.
