      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.

        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.
