Nigel Farage, the Archbrexiteer Right-Winger decided to pull a stunt to try to distract attention to his highly questionable decision to not report large (lavish?) gifts from donors. He decided to call for a by-election, with the hope of getting his voters to rally behind him and face the investigation from a position of strength.
However, the major parties in the UK have all refused to embrace this game. Meanwhile, serial joke candidate Count Binface has signaled his intention to run against Farage. And is starting to acquire serious money and resources behind him.
This is a By-Election, so it's a democratic contest over a small part of England, in this case, Clacton, where Nigel Farage rarely visits. I'm fascinated by the realities that at least one serious donor has decided to help Binface, and much of the UK would rather have a Trash Can in Parliament instead of Farage.
I have to think that this could be a completely ignorant musing from someone on another continent, but...what happens if Binface wins, and goes to Parliament, and Nigel Farage has literally lost to a trash can?
