The poll was just a quiz, for information or fun.

The actual vote is local only, for the people who live in Clacton.

However, though only a local election, because Farage is also the leader of a political party, the result will also be used politically, to say whether people generally support or reject him and his views, and those of his party.

Because he’s a… let’s say “controversial figure”, then there’s some degree of national hope that he’ll be defeated and ideally, embarrassed.
