    I’ve taken no public money

    Letting politicians accept private funding is arguably worse, as it beholds them to private interests.

    I’ve heard Count Binface is saying there was confusion at the polls. Voters could not tell the candidates apart as both are filled with garbage.

    And here’s the thing that a lot of short minded people missed.

    Count Binface was never going to win, but that was never the point. If you seriously thought that. Then you need to get your head checked.

    The entire point, was to make a farce out of Farage’s grandstanding.

    That’s why no major party ran, the probe would happen anyway.

    And guess what, it worked.

    Count Binface was everywhere going into this election and everywhere coming out of it.

    Binface won.

        A quarter of the votes and the vast majority of the coverage.

        International media covered the election. Not because of Farage and his politics. But because a man with a bin for a face is running.

        Binface stole the spotlight from Farage’s stunt.

    Unfortunately, this whole thing sounds like another Trumpian story where everyone goes “it’s all over for him now” and he just keeps chugging along.
