2026 Clacton By-Election

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

Normal_gaussian•31m ago

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.
