I wonder if CBF will do better in the upcoming *second* 2026 Clacton by-election?

If my mental arithmetic is right the total electorate of Clacton is around 80,000 and there were over 9000 votes for CBF - safely over the 10% needed to trigger a recall.

So did every candidate get at least one vote?

Lowest was 7, so not even beating the historic low of 5 www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c5...
