The fact that Bin got votes, I think tells it all .amazing the other three people (in that one and four) should be ashamed of themselves they voted for a person.😂😂 Should have let the Bin win.😉😉

Im from Canada, I know very little about Britain. It's depressing to me that he didn't win. The idea that the people in that area had the opportunity to boot out a corrupt politician who was hiding bribes, and they chose to re-elect him? I still believe in democracy but what the fuck lol

. COUNT BINFACE CAME FIRST AGAINST NIGEL FARAGE !!! Of the candidates who bothered to turn up for the results. Of the two most ridiculous candidates in the election: (2nd)...Count Binface...............9466 (1st).....Nigel Farage.................22239 .

72% of Clacton voters thought they may as well be represented by a bin as bother to vote for Farage, someone who has been to Clacton so rarely he couldn't find the leisure center where they announced his election.

What a wasted opportunity. If he's dropped the 'not very funny' routine and actually capitalised on his massive platform with some serious policies, he could have actually won. Instead he showed Clacton the same indifference Farage did.

His "massive platform" comes from the fact he is a novelty character. There were 32 other candidates. And the only reason Farage even called the by-election was it's one of reforms safest seat.

I think you are expecting way too much of a bin. Anyone else, including the 2 major parties, could've stood on real policies if they wanted to. Take it out on the ppl who voted for a pos, not the bin

#Farage thought it was beneath him to even show up, wearing tailored suits and living a #Posh lifestyle thanks to foreign Billionnaires And has the AUDACITY to frame himself as "anti establishement" In an election HE forced Because of HIS #corruption

Tbf, this was the equivalant of Steve Bannon being elected, getting investigated, resigning and re-running (assuming this was possible), and having the competition of Barney the Dinosaur and 29 unknown probably-lunatics. It wasn't exactly inspiring stuff.

Yeah. This kind of thing rarely happens in USA national-level stuff because the average USA rep is campaigning to 700k people vs ~100k for an MP. When look at comparably sized USA elections, I too would probably have voted for the Bin guy or not at all.

More of an embarrassing by-election. As a matter of law, you don't get to pick the manner of your trial or your judge to suit your needs. It's performative, ill-considered, and a waste of the public purse.

The main thing is Farage wasted Taxpayers money on a vanity election. He already had the job, it was just a very expensive ego boosting publicity stunt. Those £000's could have been used to improve the lives of Clacton's residents, but that is never on Reforms agenda.

That's a good turn-out for a UK by-election. Sometimes it's as low as 20-25%. The 45% turn-out actually fills me with despair. I hope the higher percentage was because of Count Binface supporters.

3 in 4 voters in Clacton are complete morons. They now get to pay for another election since Farage, who is a known liar, will continue to be investigated for the bribes he's taken. Morons.

A good night for binface. Could have been better, but still impressive for a weird immigrant with uncertain heritage. A terrible night for Clacton. Voted the dodgy spiv coward in again. Confirming Clacton as a shithole worth avoiding at all costs. Enjoy your 99s at £6.99

Tells everything about the other three quarters. They rather want a corrupt populist, responsible for the biggest economical disaster with Brexit, representing them rather someone else. Because he feeds his voters racism and fear, and they are so eager to eat it.

Yep ELEVEN years ago Farage openly stated that Putin was the political leader HE admired the most 🤩 SINCE then Farage has clearly been working FOR Team 🇷🇺 and ONE of his 'gifts' TO Putin was the major role HE played in the successful withdrawal and disuniting of Britain FROM the European Union! 🇬🇧 🇪🇺

Clacton deserves Farage. It had a rare chance to dump a rubbish MP and most of the electorate couldn't be bothered to vote. What happened? He started as he'll carry on: not bothering to turn up then lying about police warning of a security risk. Couldn't even be bothered to find a catering truck.

bsky.app/profile/grum... In a national poll (1,000 people asked), more wanted Binface to win than Farage. His strategy HASN'T saved him from a parliamentary investigation. And even some in the right-wing media have criticised his stunt. Nigel's in big trouble.

Grumpy says "FREE THE PALESTINIAN HOSTAGES!@grumpyoldleftygit.bsky.social

I respectfully disagree. Three in four would be 75%. Farage only got 63.3% of the votes cast. That's actually less than two in three... with no major parties taking part. Turnout was 44.4%, so 71.9% of Clactonites ELIGIBLE to vote didn't vote for him. And that's in his "stronghold".

Clacton proved themselves to be a festering shithole with the result. All of you belong in the bin. You apparently didn't want to get rid of Nigel??? Why? Are you suicidal?? Empty headed bastards!!!

PR would be a treat, but first, let's tackle the sewage in our waters and the poverty premium crippling Clacton. One thing's certain: 9,455 voters chose a bin over a billionaire's buddy. Bong.

Yeah, but 3 out of 4 Clacton voters wanted the rubbish and not the bin. It's not only America that has a MAGA problem. Take care UK. Hopefully the rest of you are not vile treacherous dipshits like 3 out of 4 in Clacton are.

And Farage treated the vote count like he treats his constituents. He didn’t show up. I hope the people who voted for him are reminded of this every single day!

THERE exists (somewhere in my archives) a headline which states: "TRUMP PRAISES PUTIN" (for starting the war in Ukraine) 🇷🇺😈 NOT sure WHY Farage was praising the warmongering pathological lying Russian leader BUT in MY opinion PUTIN should NEVER have been praised for ANYTHING he's EVER DONE or SAID!!

A fantastic showing by CB. Of 70k+ voters most saw thru Farage's stunt and couldn't be bothered to vote. Farage blows his own for the cameras but anybody with any critical facility knows it's a massive flop for him. 20 out of 70 in your stronghold is a disaster. Laters fashboy... go hiss elsewhere.
