>BREAKING: Nigel Farage has won the Clacton by-election> FARAGE: 22,239 (+1,014) - 62.8%> BINFACE: 9,455 (NEW) - 26.7%I can't believe so many people voted for a complete joke candidate. And Count Binface got a lot of votes too.
>>540753185Almost 10%%, didn't even make a dent Farage won with a bigger % than last time, 40 something % was last time.
>>540753185Thank God for Nigel and the Brexit. He saved the EU from getting infected by the UK's retardation and new laws.
So what was the point of this all again? Didn't he do this all to avoid some jail time or?
>>540753290Because nobody else ran and there was only a 44% turnout you retard, third place has less than 500 votes.
Binny beat the spread that him on 20% and Nigel got less than David Davis. The independent investigation of his finances restarts in an hour. The next election in Clacton will probably be in early December assuming the recall petition is organised quickly (Binface's vote suggests it can be).>>540754593No, it literally doesn't make any sense, I can't explain it to you because there was no reason to do it.
>>540754694Bin man is just nuts
>>540754069He's a oligarch shill he always starts up when funding rolls to him from I think 3 corporations then stops when he reaches their goal.
>>540754593He fucked up and didn't formally declare a financial gift, so he's being investigated for that. It's a bit of a stitch-up tbqh, obviously they just want any excuse to mess with him, but it's still in large part his own fault for making a very amateurish mistake and giving them the opportunity (not even the first time he's done that, there was a similar thing about undeclared gifts when he was an MEP). Anyway, the going theory is that he resigned to get ahead of the press coverage; it's a Parliamentary investigation, so it has to stop if he's no longer an MP, and this approach forcibly diverts press coverage into being about the by-election rather than having months of sustained 'dodgy finances' stories (and hiding behind some of our gay and retarded reporting restrictions that make it awkward to hyper-focus on just one candidate when there's an election)But now he's back in office, that investigation just picks up where it left off. Findings should come later in the year, and if they rule against him (they will, because it's a stitch-up), his constituents can petition for him to be recalled, i.e. removed from the seat, triggering another by-election. So the issue hasn't gone away, just been delayed, and he's almost certainly going to have to contest the same by-election again before the end of the year anyway. Everything's just back to where it was in June
>>540754912So there is a chance count bin can win?
Count Binface is not a comedian but a leftist grifter. Let me explain:Remember Vermin Supreme? The guy with a boot as a hat who promised everyone that the tooth faerie police would subjugate them all and every American citizen would get a free pony? (This was before containment board happened btw). Vermin Supreme was funny because he acted like a clown against the system itself, not as a "Democrats or Republicans bad", and always made sure his responses had nothing to do with someone's talking points.Count Binface is not funny. He just swears a lot and "haha far right bad, even I a trashcan is smarter". And then people pretended he could win from Farage, even though he got smacked out of the park. Fucking grifter bullshit.
>>540753185This is what Nigel needed to beat, keeping in mind a lot of DD's constituents were pretty angry with him at the time.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Davis_2008_by-election_campaignFrogface 62.8% vs. David Davis 72%. >>540754912"Only Clacton (who I will deliberately ensure are not in possession of the full facts before voting) can judge me". It doesn't work as an argument.
>>540755083Isn't farage a right wing grifter?
>>540755083Explain what the grift is. "There is no money in British politics" (Nigel Farage).
>>540753185I poked my head into some politics talk, and the people who vouched for a literal trashcan meme man are now coping with "it doesn't matter! It was just to show a bin could get votes in an election! This is what we wanted to happen! The real goal was to let that nazi win so he can be investigated along the way!"Like a proper farce for social media. Funnel cake bread and circus, deep-fry.Maybe the true tragedy of the commons is that we can't have a real choice in politicians, because actual people from our cattle caste would rather meme than do the actual footwork and grandstanding to represent their interest.
>>540754593It was triggered by a parliamentary enquiry, regarding an undisclosed gift of 5M that Farage received months before the 2024 election. (MPs have disclose gifts 12mo prior to their election.)Worst case, the enquiry rules that Farage is timed out for 14 days, which coincidentally triggers a recall election in his constituency.This scandal also has a chance to dismantle his popularity.Regarding the by-election, if he won against the major parties, then he and commentators would still have ample fuel to fight the upcoming results of the enquiry.If he lost against the major parties then he can rejuvenate his popularity as the underdog, and also freeze the enquiry indefinitely.
I see Nigel marked his victory by lying again. He says he can't speak to his constituents because the speaker's office told him never to go there (which they deny) on the basis of police intelligence (which the police deny). And now he says he couldn't go to the count because of a 'threat' the police informed of (which the police deny).The guy is a Jason Arday-tier fantasist.
>>540755108He had this by election because taken like 5 million in crypto donations or something, undeclared
>>540753185kek
>>540753185Not like this election mattered anyway. Nigel was going to be found guilty of his financial fuckery and get suspended which, he will now that he's back in office as the investigation will resume. This election only existed because he wanted to fight the major parties and spin it as an attack against him but nobody took the bait so now he just looks like a retard.
>>540755161Nobody thought Binny would win. I know we seem pretty backward but we have polling as well.
>>540755074Nah, the other parties have said they'll actually contest it if there's another by-election, so joke candidates like Binface won't even get a look-in. Even then, Farage will still probably win, it'll just soak up a lot of time, energy, and party money>>540755096>"Only Clacton (who I will deliberately ensure are not in possession of the full facts before voting) can judge me". It doesn't work as an argument.Yeah, basically. It would've worked a lot better if he'd waited until the findings had been announced, *then* resigned, so it was actually a case of, "this is what the Govt say, what do You The People think?" There's obviously more going on here tbf, Farage/Reform have been getting increasingly rattled over setbacks this year; losing 2 high profile by-elections, losing a predictable enemy in Starmer while Labour are buoyed by the new Burnham coat of paint, the Restore splinter starting to bite at their ankles, Farage having private disputes with the press being invasive, etc. I think Farage and his immediate circle panicked a bit and tried for a big power play that hasn't really manifested
>>540755375I mean you have farage....how much bigger of a joke do you want?
>>540754694Nobody else ran because the even more establishment parties knew Farage would own them. So they all conspired to not run and have a literal BBC employee run as a joke candidate and get fawning coverage from the media. Then all the libtards voted for him, guffawing like the unserious clowns that they are, the kind of people who are impressed and intrigued by Andy Burnham telling them what his playlist supposedly is. And then they lose. And what has been achieved? Only another reason for normal people to hate libtards, who are at this point amusingly oblivious to how much the general public hates them.People are worried about immigration, these retards are enjoying mocking people who are worried about it. I'm looking forward to the series of long overdue unpleasant shocks the libtards have coming.
>>540755488He isn't a BBC employee. Why so desperate that you have to tell lies? All a bit "Nigel" of you.
>>540753185>a complete joke candidateJohn Harvey is a BBC comedy writer, he's an establishment creature through and through.
>>540755521>nooo he's a contractor not an employeePathetic.You're the one being dishonest.Projecting libtard queer.This is why the public is learning to hate you like I do.
>>540755375Apparently they know someone quite senior is leaking but they don't know who so the only person Nigel asked about doing this was 30p Lee, a prize idiot if ever there was one.>>540755550No he isn't. He was last involved maybe 20 years ago for AI's production company. If you wanted to tell the truth you'd say his last media engagement was with Times Radio. Which Rupert Murdoch owns but that doesn't work for you does it.
>>540755590You're arguing with yourself. Please stop telling lies.
>>540753185
>>540755488Seething at a bit of banter.
For those of you unfamiliar, this happened in 2008 as well. Nigel was trying to win Thanet and Al Murray entered as his pub landlord character to promote his tour. Murray's character was a far right moron so said nothing different from Farage.Farage claimed he was the establishment candidate and the same people that are lying about Binface put a story around that he was David Cameron's cousin. This is actually true but only in the sense anyone white and British probably is. Murray got just over 300 votes and Nigel lost anyway.This was inevitable as it is boring.
>>540753185He looks like a fucking alien.
>>540755854>the same people that are lying >This is actually true butlmao
>>540755857It's just a costume, he doesn't really look like a bin.
>>540755929He's talking about Farage.
>>540755854>Murray's character was a far right moron so said nothing different from Farage.Whereas you are a far left moron spreading lies and crap because half your family will be deported.
>>540755612Reading your posts ITT I see that you have covered all the bases for the latest iteration of the programming. I would consider that you choose autonomy over parroting the viewpoints of those who want you broke, alone and dead.
>>5407558876th cousin. Not that true is it.
>>540753185The bins are probably sore losers like the toasters. Clacton Pier is gonna burn.
>>540753185binbros on suicide watch
>>540755975Domesday book would suggest the furthest we'd get deported is Somerset. I don't even like cider, have some mercy.
>>540755966Can't be too sure with yanks.
>>540753185Like Americans, Brits have voted for joke candidates for decades. In b4 "but you Europoors.."We Europoors don't get to vote who runs the EUSSR.
He beat the Bin but that isn't a Win.
this was not a pro farage vote, it was an anti binface vote
>>540755488>what his playlist supposedly isIs it Oasis Discography (complete) [FLAC]?
today I will remind them
Clearly rigged against Binface
>>540753185It seems it is british tradition of some sorthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVI5ZOT5QEM
>>540753185This election was a complete disgrace. No other candidate stood in the elections, sending the message by every other party that they're not a real constituency and that their votes don't matter, and Farage only stood because he had to. Absolute clownshow and another blow to democracy's legitimacy, or it would be if normies weren't blind and retarded.
>>540757388>. No other candidate stood in the elections,34 candidates stood in the by election, shows how much you know?
>>540753185Nigel could have had a coalition with restore and truly challenged labour, but he sabotaged the whole thing because jews got their feelings hurt.
>>540756595Presumably everyone in the EU's immigration went down after 2020? Otherwise it makes no sense to gloat about this.
>>540753185>Binface got a lot of votesHe was on the telly.
>>540754593>So what was the point of this all again?Humiliation ritual. The constituency has a relatively high number of retirees who got away from East London's Niggification decades ago. The Deep State Jews are saying they belong in bin because they are not the special people. And also, that stupid goyim thinking they're going to vote your way out of this is about as useful as posting your vote in a bin.
>>540758324nigel has an entire news channel
>>540755121>Explain what the grift is.He's a performing Jew who gets paid by the deep-state to dress up as a bin with a posting slit to humiliate the stupid goyim who think they can VOOOOOT their way out of anything. >(Post your votes in the bin you pathetic goyim!!!).He hung around a few election counts already but the humiliation ritual was waiting for this current circus. You can be sure Farage is fully briefed on the script.That's the grift. Wasn't hard to decipher was it!
>>540753185>>540755083I don't think /pol/ knows, so I'll fill you in. "Binface" (Jonathan David Harvey) literally writes for The Spectator. He's literal neoliberal.When you people think he's a grifter - well, yes, he is, but the bigger problem is he thinks austerity and privatisation solve everything, when for the past few decades it's made everything worse.
>>540755083>be right wing investment banker millionair with billionaire friends running a grifter news channel running a current 5 million gift grift>"its the man dressed as a bin whos the real grifter!"classic no u right wing blame shift politics
>>540753185What was count binfaces policy on immigration?
>>540759076>What was count binfaces policy on immigration?All the goyim must be exterminated and blotted from the book of life - and in the meantime a replacement Hamite slave class with no other allegiance should be trafficked in.
>>540755108he is UK's Trump
>>540755612You are an utter mong.
I'm amused by amount of copium some people huff to try to paint guy dressed as a fucking bin as some kind of deep state funded liberal terrorist kek
>>540759693Keep VOOOOOOING, goy!
>>540753185I really wanted binface to win just to see him there in parliament dressed up. Would have been basically irl Monty Python tier shit.
>>540753185I don't follow British politics so I had no idea that wasn't an actual person.
>>540759833>keep voting goyuh huh
>>540760024Are you suggesting that a vote for Binface is the anti-Zionist option?
>>540754699Give yer head a wobble!
>>540760002>so I had no idea that wasn't an actual person.You'd be correct. He's not an actual person: he's a zionist moron who thinks that replacing brits with jeets is a fantastic idea.As for binface, he's just an attention seeking neoliberal dickhead.
>>540753185Binface only getting 26% in an uncontested election shows that democracy in its current state is a sham. I don't know why they even bother with the pageantry. The duopoly could literally field a mannequin from a clothes shop, and it would beat every independent candidate anyway.
>>540755488>People are worried about immigration, these retards are enjoying mocking people who are worried aboutBecause the by-election surely wasn't a mockery of everyone's time a taxpaers money.Him running against a bin was then perfect analogy
