Farage is doing some "i can win against the establishment" thing and labour gave up before even trying so now Count Binface is the only opposition of Farage

BREAKING: Labour says it won't stand against Nigel Farage in the Clacton by-election

As it stands, only Count Binface will run against Farage

They are trying to silence him

๐Ÿšจ NEW: Parliament has confirmed Count Binface will not be allowed to sit in the Commons wearing his space costume and bin head

Farage vs Count Binface: hard-right leader's UK poll gambit

London (AFP) โ€“ British anti-immigrant politician Nigel Farage faces the embarrassing prospect of going head-to-head with perennial joke candidate Count Binface in a by-election after he decided to quit parliament.

His surprise move threatened to backfire Wednesday after other heavyweight parties confirmed they would not contest the vote for Farage's seat in southeast England.

Count Binface, a self-described "intergalactic space warrior", is the only other person to have said so far that they would run.

Despite the slim chances. In the celestial event where Binface wins, he should get a Nobel Prize for saving the world. The aura loss the far-right would face would be legendary. Every time some smug boomer or some 4chan chud opens their mouth just say

โ€œYour GOAT got clapped by fucking binface.โ€
