  • In a hypothetical forced choice head-to-head, 1 in 3 British adults (33%) would prefer Count Binface to win the Clacton by-election, giving him a 12ppt lead over Farage (21%). 32% say neither. 13% don’t know;
  • Nearly 3 in 4 (74%) state that the parliamentary standards commissioner should be investigating whether the Reform UK leader broke parliamentary rules;
  • 73% say investigation should continue even if Farage wins the by-election.

      I’ve heard it’s full of old conservatives, so probably Farage will win. I’d love to be wrong though.

      If it’s close, it’s still a humiliation so it’s a win in my book.

        Farage won with 33% last time with the remaining 67% split between candidates

        If the same people vote again but that 67% go for binface he has already lost.

        Hell if only 50% of that 67% vote for binface he still loses
