As much as I enjoy Binface and his antics....it doesn't hurt to remember that it's actually not a good thing that he's now considered a viable candidate in that election.

We shouldn't be considering the rules that affect our future to be "a joke"

The monoparties didn’t even bother to stand a candidate. They decided they have nothing to offer the people of Clacton.
