The election manifesto presented as Ceefax (teletext) pages in space is rather beautiful: https://xcancel.com/CountBinface/status/2087675824640045259

"Ich bin ein binliner!"

Garbagé, if he wins, should be fined the amount it costs to hold the next by-election himself after he's convicted of taking a £5M bribe.

Agreed. We should do the same to all politicians that accept or take such bribes or donations even if they are in office [0].

Wouldn't you agree?

A once-in-a-generation leader. Kennedy. Obama. Binface.

TLDR: this election, if successful for "Count Binface", may remove Nigel Farage from parliament and maybe even remove him from Reform UK.

Farage is favourite to win by nearly all reasonable predictions; success for Count Binface is not just a win - its taking a non-trivial portion of the votes, which seems likely.

Reform UK is a Ltd. and Farage is its owner; so removing him from the "party" is highly unlikely - the party is him.

The sheer delight in watching Farage being brought down to the level of a man wearing a bin on his head, all because of his own stupid actions, has been success enough already.

Farage has always been pretty good at destroying his own gravitas at unexpected moments, but he's outdone himself this time.

May the best garbage receptacle win.
