United Kingdom

But that would mean Farage wouldn't be able to be charged, wouldn't it?

It's England, it's a historically Tory district, and they already elected him once with 42% of the vote. So, safe bet that it does - in fact - have a bunch of reactionary racists with no sense of humor turning out to the polls.

Farage is also larded up with money from his billionaire friends and positioning himself to be the next PM of the country. When it comes to GOTV, I think he's got the edge over a D-list internet celebrity who regularly gets confused with a nearly identical D-list internet celebrity running on the same joke.

In what is shaping up to be a Reform UK wave election year, I regret to say the funny outcome isn't where the smart money is at. The only real question is whether Farage wins handily in a landslide while doing the Big Racism from every major news outlet or squeaks in on a marginal victory after having to actually perform a few weeks of retail politics in his district.

It's easy to point and laugh from another region, even from another country.

But you have to consider that the people of Clacton will ultimately have to live with whichever one wins the election. They have to vote with their brains, for the person that will ultimately bring them more pros than cons. That's why I cannot blame anyone for voting for mcbinface, at the end of the day, it's just the best option.

"Yeah, but at least we don't vote them into office

farage is a joke though

Uhh we would've loved to vote Vermin Supreme in

I doubt they even invited Nige. He’s just a weird little toadman they can use as a fifth-columnist in return for minor aura boosts.

I've heard it's full of old conservatives, so probably Farage will win. I'd love to be wrong though.

If it's close, it's still a humiliation so it's a win in my book.

There's no mandatory voting in the UK, so you can always just stay home on election day.

Acknowledges that candidates have to campaign against the couch as much as they have to campaign against their opponent. Valid, tbh

Her runs in every election, he's like their Vermin Supreme. His disillusionment with politics would probably make him an excellent candidate compared to Farage, who actively desires fascism.

I'm not too much into British elections but from what I've gathered he's mostly doing satire and making fun of absurd politics and politicians, whereas Trump was only ever in it for his own gain.
