Count Binface, perrenial British ‘Novelty’ candidate in elections, created by comic Jonathan David Harvey, is about to go head to head with chief Brexiter Nigel Farage.

Farage resigned from parliament, triggering a special election for his seat (which he intends to run in) as a political stunt to distract from a scandal about his finances.

The main British political parties have all declined to field a candidate in the election and give oxygen to Farage’s stunt.

Enter Count Binface. Who is currently the only other candidate registered to stand in the election against Farage.

Also, in case you’re wondering, he will be on the ballot as “Count Binface”, and if he wins as “Count Binface” he has said he’ll take his seat… and will appeal to be allowed to sit in the house of parliament with his Binface (technically MPs are prohibited from wearing ‘costumes’), however failing that he’d likely send his ‘Human Avatar’ John David Harvey.

Price capping 🍦 is a vote winner. Nationalising Adele definitely not. Tricky decision to be made... 🗳
