I mean, sucks that they won but having that many votes go to binface does sour his whole plan. This was meant to be some sort of victory lap for Farage, but now its just sad.
This is also a really big stepping point for independents. Almost 30% of the votes for an effective independent shows that while some people may have considered Binface a joke, it’s pretty clear that his claims and asks are important to people. And those are claims and asks that other potential candidates are going to need to address if they want those voters.
Yeah to be fair that’s a PR opportunity for Burnham. Like it or loathe it, a huge part of public favour in the UK is knowing when to engage with the bit.
It does sort of suck that he won, but it also doesn’t really matter. It’s exactly as if he’d never done the political stunt to begin with. Literally nothing has changed, he’s just as much under investigation now as he was before the whole farce began.
Also they lost the Manchester mayoral vote because he wasted campaigning resources on this pointless by-election.
As with most populists the best thing you can do to destroy them is to not beat them in the polls, but to make them look stupid in the court of public opinion. And he certainly been made to look stupid.
Also it’s not been reported on as much because police won’t give details but there’s also at least two police investigations into him, eventually they’ll catch up with him.
He has more attraction to people than fucking lord Binface? Are they trying to play the serious adult? Because Binface was memey too! He didn’t say anything gender-politics like, he is clearly not “the establishment”.
The perpetual assholes will get what they voted for: their demise.
We should form a community to outlive the irredemables.
Binface is an Oxford-educated satirist. Graduates from his course include 3 Prime Ministers, a Chancellor of the Exchequer, a Governor of Hong Kong and a Viceroy of India. Such is it a definition of “establishment” that the most establishment character in Yes Minister attended the course.

Good jorb!
Good point! Its an improvement over the last time binface ran I hear. Perhaps next time.

So Andy Burnham is going to have to get the hand dryer in the Crown and Treaty pub moved?
If he does this he’ll be a fucking legend.
Imagine the PR show if Binface, Burnham and the manager of the Crown and Treaty Pub got that done

No idea what you mean lol enlighten me
It’s a core issue of the Binface Party.

He lost a third of his votes to a trash can from space.
I do believe that in England, you guys call that ‘bloody embarrassing.’

One way or the other, he’s finished.
I’m glad he won, can’t shake the investigation now
Who in their right mind voted for Farage!?!
People who are fucked by the status quo and wants something different… Erhn wait. Binface was on the ballot?
Yeah apparently 62% of Clacton just hates anything not British, so they can’t vote for a spacefaring warlord
I suspect that a lot of it has to do with paid votes and/or manipulation.
It makes no sense that people ALWAYS vote against their own interests.
This is more likely.
He has a certain charisma to a subset of people. It’s a similar effect as trump in the US, only to a smaller subset of idiots.
The things he claims don’t hold up to scrutiny, but that doesn’t matter to some. They just hear the surface promises, and don’t think deeper.
