The Clacton by-election just got even funnier
34 candidates are standing in this unnecessary waste of tax payer's money election. 34! That's a new record for UK elections.
Our hero Count Binface takes on the dastardly Farage on 13th Aug 2026, but he faces competition from 32 other people vying to become MP for Clacton.
Among these candidates are 3 Monster Raving Loonies™ as well as people from across the country and even the wider world?! There's even someone whose listed address is Australia; truly a global important election.
Doing a quick tally, there's only 6 local people standing (maybe 8 if you're willing to allow people just slightly outside the council area). The rest are scattered across the UK, from Glasgow to Dorset, yet none of the other major political parties (Labour, Tories, Lib Dems, Greens) are fielding a candidate.
They know this is a sham election called by Farage to avoid an investigation into his undeclared finances. Although it's highly like he gets reelected, Count Binface stands a good chance of taking all the left leaning and protest votes, and would give him his best ever finish in a UK election. Even the current PM and LotO have thrown their support for Count Binface.
Do the right thing Clacton. Make your vote COUNT
