  • 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.

    When Count Binface started showing up in the news, an article was posted on Lemmy and a USian said something like “You guys have joke candidates?!” And someone (presumably UKian) said something like “Yeah, but at least we don’t vote them into office.”

    Oh how the turntables.
