Honestly, who knows.

It's going to be a super depressed turn out, and many of the people that would vote for Farage in a general election won't realize there's a by election on.

Then, with no major parties standing, all the anti Farage vote should unify behind count binface.

The main advantages Farage has, he's more popular in Clacton than the whole of the UK, and a lot of local voters don't know or don't care about the five million pound "gift".

I saw a recent Owen Jones video where he walked through Clacton and it wasn't a very encouraging result but we can only hope that more will come out than expected to vote up the Binface and vote down that fuckface.

Yeah, I saw a similar video, but most of the people that said they would back reform didn't know there was an election on ...
