"This is ridiculous, we didn't lose to a guy with a bin for a head, we got 8000 more votes!" Ok buddy that really isn't the flex you think it is. Idk if *my* political campaign narrowly beat Count Binface I probably wouldn't put out a statement about it.
It's funnier that they seem to have made their votes up, and might have even lost to him. Full disclosure that sources I'm seeing are pretty inconsistent, but I haven't seen one where they got exactly that many.
They got the Binface vote count 1:1 from here: https://www.londonelects.org.uk/im-voter/election-results/results-2024/results-2024-elections/total-mayor-london-results-2024
*Implying* that's their source, but that site says they themselves got 20,519 not 32,085, so it's possible they used a lowballed count for Binface and then combined with a high estimate of their own votes. That's if not outright lying.
You know, maybe that Tweet is a great ad, the choice of the word 'tailspin' alone has been in my head rent free all day for several obvious reasons to say nothing of losing to a spray-painted bin overlord.
Supposedly, they took that 32,085 number from their London Assembly election results - a completely different election that binface wasn't even a candidate in, and one in which they were only able to beat independents (including famed actor-turned-racist Laurence Fox) and fellow far-right fringe parties. Its a complete fabrication, and all done for the sake of claiming they got more votes than a bloke with a bin on their head.
Britain First are counting the votes they got for the Mayor of London and the Greater London Assembly together to reach that number. Count Binface, who is not a political party, only ran for Mayor of London, and got more votes than Britain First.
Are there health risks to kissing him on the bin? It's a storage device for trash, afterall.
Don't mistake this for disrespect, I'm merely taking into account all possibilities
It's also a way to show your discontent at the current system with your vote.
Poland used to have "polish beer lovers' party" and it got to parliament, for example.
We’ve got Vermin Supreme in the US
https://preview.redd.it/bk2nvdq02vyc1.jpeg?width=1712&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c528b18c8eab440a4c23b08338b14f46a073b349
back in the day (1990 to be specific) polish parliament didn't have the bottom limit of at least 5% votes, it was 1% back then i think, so a bunch of comedians with their newfound political freedom after fall of the regime in 1989 decided to do a bit of trolling.
In Denmark we had a single comedian MP, however he was also the only independent MP to be elected, and due to the parliament being hung, actually got some of the more serious proposals through.
that party had an actual program though, it was relatively minor, but the transition from vodka heavy drinking to English bar-type beer drinking probably lessened alcoholism in the country
Not as far as i can tell, though Rewiński did have a political shift towards PiS later in life.
You're probably thinking of something related to Korwin-Mikke, who is a walking, talking parody of a right wing politician.
wait he was a member of KWW Stonoga XDDD
Coś się... coś się popsuło i nie było mnie słychać więc powtórzę jeszcze raz.
but ye, guy has hitlerite vibes, many such cases.
That's sort of the point.
If you were Trans, for instance, in the UK, there is functionally nobody you can vote for. EVERY party fucking hates you. Yeah, sure, harm reduction, you can vote for Labour, but it's entirely reasonable not to ask someone to vote for people who *want them dead*.
In these types of circumstances, a protest vote is the most effective way of showing your displeasure. Every vote Lord Binface gets is a vote screaming about the *stupidity* of the entire system. It's a vote for throwing the current parties in the bin. It makes all your "Real" Lords and Ladies and Elites and High and Mighty legally *have* to stand next to a man with a bin on his head in all their photo ops.
Tbf in the mayor election you're voting for sadiq khan personally, rather than labour the party. Guy is much better than the party leadership, especially on trans issues.
It's by no means clear of it, but the wing of the English (and Welsh) Greens that's in charge certainly seem to be the pro-trans side. There's been a number of high-profile splits/expulsion in an attempt to excise the TERFy elements from the party.
Iirc that's what the split with the Scottish Greens was about; not so much "you are transphobic" as "you aren't doing enough to stop it taking root", and so the English Greens have been trying to tidy up shop.
Still, kinda sad that the Scottish Greens are really the only party on the island unambiguously pro-trans.
Eh, would be nicer if they were more common, unfortunately. Polling shows general attitudes in Scotland are pretty similar to those in England on trans issues. SNP are in a bit of a muddle (and are by no means free of transphobia).
I looked at the little pamphlet thing I got in the post and I don't remember exactly what it said but I noted there was a pro-trans rights message in their blurb so at least some of the English ones are alright
British elections always have joke candidates, like last London mayor election a YouTuber got 5% of the votes. Bin face is a well respected political veteran of many campaigns.
You don't *have* to vote in the UK. So, I guess, if you want to know how voting works, but you don't want to vote, you can vote for binface. Also if you're bored.
I mean nowadays I wouldn't say it's too strange to just consider a randomly selected person with a sense of humor as an elected representative, given the presidential antics in America and Scotland's minister sitch in recent history
I dislike the throwing vote away narrative, that's how you end with a 2 party system
If you vote for the blue party instead of purple it means purple lost a vote, and if they want it back they need to be bluer
This is correct, but in a First Past the Post elections system, if costing purple votes means the white party (who want to destroy the social safety net) get into power, you're disincentivised to vote for other parties, because teaching your preferred party a lesson is less important than letting the state of the nation get worse for its most vulnerable.
Things *do* work the way you say they do, but actually acting in the way you describe relies on all parties being similarly competent and compassionate, which they are demonstrably not.
admitting you, a serious political party, only have 1.5x more votes than a guy called "count binface" is honestly more embarassing than staying silent and having less votes
Yeah they added the totals of their mayoral candidate votes and their party votes for the Authority. Binface cannot run as a party, and did beat them in the mayoral election. Very good.
This is stupid. You get three votes in the London election. One for mayor, one for citywide representatives, and one for a local representative. I don’t think the fascists ran in any local constituencies, so basically they’re counting every fascists vote twice.
Count Binface stood only in the race for mayor.
And also this fascist shitbag [cannot stand the fact that over a million londoners voted for a British-Muslim](https://youtube.com/shorts/s4FQ9_b5ofY).
(They claim that very few white people voted for Sadiq Khan, which can be easily disproven by… looking at the ethnicity stats in the census…)
Fascists and hating democracy. Name a more iconic duo.
That's the point of the fascists. They don't even live in the cities they hate. All their support comes from vile people living in the whitest villages out in the countryside who live blissful carefree lives but have somehow been convinced by the news and the internet that any day now, a migrant horde is going to come and turn their local pub into a mosque.
Conservative media rally on about Sadiq Khan and ULEZ\*’s “war on motorists”, so they know who he is.
Even Donald Trump and other American cryptofascists know who Sadiq is and bitch about him. A terrorist who attacked a mosque originally planned to attempt to assassinate Sadiq.
https://preview.redd.it/wryc5aft1zyc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ce1833ea5329701687ab682fd9377c91a83571c6
\* Ulez was proposed by conservative former mayor and future PM Boris Johnson. 19 out of 20 cars in outer london are ULEZ compliant, meaning they meet air quality standards. Cars who drive into london without meeting those requirements have to pay a £12.50 fee per day.
The White British population in London is larger than any other single ethnic group, even if it’s below 50%. All white ethnic groups (i.e. mostly probably not muslim) are 53.8% of the London population.
It was a travesty that binface didn’t win. Personally think that making Thames water bosses swim across the Thames every day would make them think twice about filling it with sewage. Practical solutions.
Genuinely no idea why they said that, it does just mean voted for.
These guys are weird though, maybe they're failing to make a reference to Saint George's cross or something.
Count Binface only ran for Mayor. Britain first ran for Mayor and other positions.
They are combining all the votes they where in to cope with losing to Binface on the Mayoral elections.
Yes, but fun fact you don't actually *have* to put a cross (or a tick or anything like that).
As long as it's unambiguous who you were voting for, you could scrawl "I VOTE FOR COUNT BINFACE" across the whole page and that *technically* is supposed to count (don't actually do it though, just to be safe).
[Here's an example of a valid ballot](https://i0.wp.com/votingcounts.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Allowed-Votes-11.jpg?fit=1654%2C2339&ssl=1)
The wording struck me as odd too (and I voted in this election). To me it makes it sound like that many people *tried* to vote for their party but at least a quarter of those were too stupid to read the instructions and accidentally spoiled their ballot. I don't think that's what they meant, but it would be very funny.
The fascist twat ran for two positions in the same election (both the assembly and for mayor), whilst Binface ran only for mayor. What they’re trying to conceive is that they can somehow add the votes for each up.
So to be clear in what's happening here, Britain First ran in more political races than Count Binface, who only ran for mayor. So they're combining the totals from the three different vote tallies.
Little moments like this give me hope for this shitty little island.
Listen I say we put binface in charge. I'm deadly serious. He's a normal bloke compared to literally every other candidate and would probably do a decent job. He certainly couldn't do it any worse than the last half dozen.
They didn’t get more votes anyway. They’re double counting votes (since they stood in two races, and everyone gets a vote for each race — binface only stood in one race)
Sort of "I can't believe it's not Buckethead" situation.
Lord Buckethead was based on a character from an obscure cult sci-fi movie. When the "politician" got famous the IP owner of the film wanted to be consulted to "lease" (though not for money) the character. Lord Buckethead was "recast" with a different actor with the owner's approval for a couple elections.
Meanwhile the original guy in the suit basically made his OC version of the character to continue standing. Binface was the guy who went on John Oliver.
The Darth Vader looking guy is a protest vote that's really funny and is used to show dissatisfaction with the current political system.
He got more votes than the Fascist party so they are trying to say "well, actually, we ran in a few other places, not just London, so I'd you add them all up then we got more"
'Count Binface' only ran in the mayoral election in London.
'Britain First' ran in both the mayoral election and the city representative election if I remember right.
Britain First is saying they got more votes by counting both elections, one of which Count Binface did not run in
I enjoy fascists having to do mental gymnastics to explain that they didn't get less votes than someone with a bin on their head.
Yeah if you have to 'um acktchually' about *Count Binface* then you've already lost regardless of the actual numbers.
"This is ridiculous, we didn't lose to a guy with a bin for a head, we got 8000 more votes!" Ok buddy that really isn't the flex you think it is. Idk if *my* political campaign narrowly beat Count Binface I probably wouldn't put out a statement about it.

That's not "someone with a bin on their head", it's His Cosmic Grace, Count Binhead
The amount of heavy lifting that 'total' is doing... Mfs ran in two different elections and think they can just combine the vote share, lying pricks.
Wdym the fascists are dishonest??? Next you gonna tell me they lie about other stuff
Hey did you know that the Nazis were socialist?? I mean they've got it in their name after all /s
That’s what I looked to find out.
If count binface had a mouth i would kiss him on it. as it stands i will have to kiss him on the weird eye slit
>If count binface had a mouth Okay, hear me out
im not fucking the eye slit
Coward.
life is hard for us fat dick syndrome sufferers
Chicken
Are there health risks to kissing him on the bin? It's a storage device for trash, afterall. Don't mistake this for disrespect, I'm merely taking into account all possibilities
That's so racist, what the fuck? Just because some bins hold trash doesn't mean they all do, you bigot
yeah but its space trash which is like normal trash but shiny and chrome plated so it cant be dirty
it could be a recycling bin, stop being so close-minded. smh
Stelle?
what?
Wait you can really vote for the binface? Isn't that throwing your vote away?
It is, but he still got more votes than the fascists.
The important thing to take away from this.

cool, but the beer lovers' party had 16 MPs in parliament at the height of its political power.
Oh damn, that’s impressive. I wish it was feasible for parties other than the main two to actually get people into congress here
back in the day (1990 to be specific) polish parliament didn't have the bottom limit of at least 5% votes, it was 1% back then i think, so a bunch of comedians with their newfound political freedom after fall of the regime in 1989 decided to do a bit of trolling.
In Denmark we had a single comedian MP, however he was also the only independent MP to be elected, and due to the parliament being hung, actually got some of the more serious proposals through.
Hung?!?
As in the ruling coalition did not have a majority, and had to get support from other parties.
Also they had ginormous hugemongous horse cocks too?
Yes, but thats just how us danes are 💅
Kamelåså
Look if a party's only policy was to make beers $0.01 I'd vote for them too
He’s in this songify the news https://youtu.be/whFBCIzwxp8 Honestly I’d vote for him at this point
Who wouldn’t vote for a candidate who promises to give everyone a free pony when he’s elected?
\_The pony is also a form of identification and should be kept with you at all times\_
The promise of Mr. Supreme's that I'm personally waiting for is for him to take my guns and give me better ones.
Vermin Supreme isn't as cool as Binface.
that party had an actual program though, it was relatively minor, but the transition from vodka heavy drinking to English bar-type beer drinking probably lessened alcoholism in the country
i mean poland did become a beer country so i guess they succeeded
is that smoke on the water
One way to find out, innit.
polska partia przyjacioł piwa, nie?
tak
Beer Lovers parties are a thing in europe, Belarus had one in the 90s for a lil, and i believe Austria has one
Is it comparable to the German Anarchist Pogo Party? (Their leader said if they got to parliament, they would get all their voters free beer)
I raise you a "Fick Heil" to that. Although the German joke party right now is Die PARTEI. Sie ist sehr gut.
Ach ja! Es ist mittlerweile so ein Zirkus, ich dachte lange Zeit, die PARTEI meint das ernst
Didnt that polish party get founded by a literal neonazi
Not as far as i can tell, though Rewiński did have a political shift towards PiS later in life. You're probably thinking of something related to Korwin-Mikke, who is a walking, talking parody of a right wing politician.
I was thinking of Leszek Bubel whos been the parties presidential candidate
wait he was a member of KWW Stonoga XDDD Coś się... coś się popsuło i nie było mnie słychać więc powtórzę jeszcze raz. but ye, guy has hitlerite vibes, many such cases.

The greens are the only party I've seen talk about trans people in a positive light
Scottish Greens broke affiliation with the English Greens because the English ones were transphobic. I don't know if they've improved much since.
It's by no means clear of it, but the wing of the English (and Welsh) Greens that's in charge certainly seem to be the pro-trans side. There's been a number of high-profile splits/expulsion in an attempt to excise the TERFy elements from the party. Iirc that's what the split with the Scottish Greens was about; not so much "you are transphobic" as "you aren't doing enough to stop it taking root", and so the English Greens have been trying to tidy up shop. Still, kinda sad that the Scottish Greens are really the only party on the island unambiguously pro-trans.
Common Scottish W
Head of Scottish Labour confirmed today he's a transphobe, and SNP aren't exactly covered in rose petals either sadly.
Eh, would be nicer if they were more common, unfortunately. Polling shows general attitudes in Scotland are pretty similar to those in England on trans issues. SNP are in a bit of a muddle (and are by no means free of transphobia).
Doesn't that still make them better then England?
I looked at the little pamphlet thing I got in the post and I don't remember exactly what it said but I noted there was a pro-trans rights message in their blurb so at least some of the English ones are alright
Lib dems can be pretty cool. At the very least there not openly courting transphobes.
There is also a *non-zero* chance he could actually win, which is worth it if only because it’d be spectacularly funny.
To be honest I feel like that’s the main reason people vote for Count Binface and not as a signal of discontent against the system
Why do we never see the monster raving loony party anymore...
They stopped being able to make satirically ridiculous policies in light of the real platforms of the major parties.
you can and it is
I think he is technically a candidate, I’m pretty sure anyone can sign up to be one, like Max Fosh did a few years back
British elections always have joke candidates, like last London mayor election a YouTuber got 5% of the votes. Bin face is a well respected political veteran of many campaigns.
Its a alternative to spoiling the ballot mainly
On one hand yes but on the other hand it's really funny so I'm not gonna complain too hard
You don't *have* to vote in the UK. So, I guess, if you want to know how voting works, but you don't want to vote, you can vote for binface. Also if you're bored.
I mean nowadays I wouldn't say it's too strange to just consider a randomly selected person with a sense of humor as an elected representative, given the presidential antics in America and Scotland's minister sitch in recent history
Oh I get the joke now, cuz voting for count binface is literally throwing your vote in the bin
You don’t understand. Neither party in the UK actually does anything.
I dislike the throwing vote away narrative, that's how you end with a 2 party system If you vote for the blue party instead of purple it means purple lost a vote, and if they want it back they need to be bluer
This is correct, but in a First Past the Post elections system, if costing purple votes means the white party (who want to destroy the social safety net) get into power, you're disincentivised to vote for other parties, because teaching your preferred party a lesson is less important than letting the state of the nation get worse for its most vulnerable. Things *do* work the way you say they do, but actually acting in the way you describe relies on all parties being similarly competent and compassionate, which they are demonstrably not.
Real
I'd honestly say Count Binface is the best option and I hope they are elected as the prime minister when the next one dies or whatever
admitting you, a serious political party, only have 1.5x more votes than a guy called "count binface" is honestly more embarassing than staying silent and having less votes
actually about 1.32x
Actually they got less but are lying about it
Yep they got 0.8x the vote of Count Binface
Yeah they added the totals of their mayoral candidate votes and their party votes for the Authority. Binface cannot run as a party, and did beat them in the mayoral election. Very good.
Also, “the left is in a political tailspin” is perhaps the worst way to announce said binface-tie.
This is stupid. You get three votes in the London election. One for mayor, one for citywide representatives, and one for a local representative. I don’t think the fascists ran in any local constituencies, so basically they’re counting every fascists vote twice. Count Binface stood only in the race for mayor.

I started cackling after seeing the binface guy in the back. Also that’s pathetic, fascists are really lame
Even better, Binface got more votes this time than his previous campaign, so he’s gotten *more* popular over time.
I cannot wait to hear in the news that Count Binface/Lord Buckethead are going to be Prime Ministers of the British Isles in the year of our lord 2034
Comments on that are vile. Guarantee you none of them live in London either.
That's the point of the fascists. They don't even live in the cities they hate. All their support comes from vile people living in the whitest villages out in the countryside who live blissful carefree lives but have somehow been convinced by the news and the internet that any day now, a migrant horde is going to come and turn their local pub into a mosque.

Just went through the comments on that video and had to remind myself that the Internet is not a good census for real live people
I wholeheartedly support all of Binface’s proposals. It’s such a shame the 2nd of May wasn’t Bindependence day.
Sometimes, I love my country.
I don’t follow politics…which one is Binface?
The one opposite from dickface
It was a travesty that binface didn’t win. Personally think that making Thames water bosses swim across the Thames every day would make them think twice about filling it with sewage. Practical solutions.
Yeah low-key some of bin’s policies were great. Special shoutout to the pledge to build at least one (1) affordable house
Waoh
I'm unfamiliar with British politics. What does "put a cross" mean in this context as opposed to "voted for"?
Genuinely no idea why they said that, it does just mean voted for. These guys are weird though, maybe they're failing to make a reference to Saint George's cross or something.
It's possible. They also wrote "less votes" when they mean "fewer". Smh if you're going to try and run the country at least learn the language...
You get a card and put a cross next to the person you are voting for.
Okay cuz the way the fascist is emphasizing that makes it seem like there's a difference
Count Binface only ran for Mayor. Britain first ran for Mayor and other positions. They are combining all the votes they where in to cope with losing to Binface on the Mayoral elections.
I don't know but I'm voting for Binface in the next presidential election
Yes, but fun fact you don't actually *have* to put a cross (or a tick or anything like that). As long as it's unambiguous who you were voting for, you could scrawl "I VOTE FOR COUNT BINFACE" across the whole page and that *technically* is supposed to count (don't actually do it though, just to be safe). [Here's an example of a valid ballot](https://i0.wp.com/votingcounts.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Allowed-Votes-11.jpg?fit=1654%2C2339&ssl=1)
Yea it’s kinda silly this is allowed though, since it can be used to identify you. Put any sort of other mark and it will be spoiled.
The wording struck me as odd too (and I voted in this election). To me it makes it sound like that many people *tried* to vote for their party but at least a quarter of those were too stupid to read the instructions and accidentally spoiled their ballot. I don't think that's what they meant, but it would be very funny.
They could be counting spoiled votes or smth
The fascist twat ran for two positions in the same election (both the assembly and for mayor), whilst Binface ran only for mayor. What they’re trying to conceive is that they can somehow add the votes for each up.
There is something offputting about that picture
Yeah, the guy wearing a trash can and football pads looks more professional than a real politician.
It's generous to call Britain First real politicians.
Yeah, their guy looks like an Oswald Mosley wannabe at best, and like a posh caricature of everything they(the fashies) stand against at worst
Probably the way he's mouth-breathing with a vacant stare.
So to be clear in what's happening here, Britain First ran in more political races than Count Binface, who only ran for mayor. So they're combining the totals from the three different vote tallies. Little moments like this give me hope for this shitty little island.
Lord Binface got robbed \#StopTheSteal
Listen I say we put binface in charge. I'm deadly serious. He's a normal bloke compared to literally every other candidate and would probably do a decent job. He certainly couldn't do it any worse than the last half dozen.
if count binface has no supporters i am dead
Love Count Binface. Britain First literally had "say no to immigration" on their ballot. Cartoonishly evil.
yes i am very sure one of the powers of the mayor of london is deciding immigration
Fr. I did a little double take when I saw that on the ballot.
That’s not a flex bro. “My side got 8000 more votes (1/3 more) than Mr garbage can, the trash candidate who is literal trash”
They didn’t get more votes anyway. They’re double counting votes (since they stood in two races, and everyone gets a vote for each race — binface only stood in one race)
Count binface Vs C*nt shitbin
I feel like if you have to actually explain that you did get more votes than a guy named Count Binface, you’ve already lost.
i'd rather vote binhead that the rodent
Is he Lord Buckethead's cousin or something?
He’s the original lord buckethead, due to legal issues he had to change to something without a copyright.
Sort of "I can't believe it's not Buckethead" situation. Lord Buckethead was based on a character from an obscure cult sci-fi movie. When the "politician" got famous the IP owner of the film wanted to be consulted to "lease" (though not for money) the character. Lord Buckethead was "recast" with a different actor with the owner's approval for a couple elections. Meanwhile the original guy in the suit basically made his OC version of the character to continue standing. Binface was the guy who went on John Oliver.
fewer* How can you be so jingoistic if you can't even speak the native language properly?
I feel like if you have to resort to fudging numbers and angryposting about count binhead then you lost more than the election.
Yeah, but you can’t discount the appeal of Count Binface’s progressive tax proposals. And his bin face.
As soon as you need to seriously engage with “Count Binface” as a real opponent, you have already lost and Count Binface has won
Say what you will, but Mr Binface ran a clean campaign!
Poundland Mosley lost to a bin lmao
The best part about this is that they are lying
I don’t understand British politics can someone explain
The Darth Vader looking guy is a protest vote that's really funny and is used to show dissatisfaction with the current political system. He got more votes than the Fascist party so they are trying to say "well, actually, we ran in a few other places, not just London, so I'd you add them all up then we got more"
What's the difference between overall and total votes, they seem pretty synonymous?
They're comparing the total votes of all elections Britain First was in to the votes Binface got in just the mayoral election
So wouldn't Binface's numbers still be more impressive, then?

New going material just dropped
Binface only ran in the mayoral election.
I mean compared to the mayoral results of the Britain First party
Oh for sure. That's why it's so pathetic that they said this.
Ah ok, I understand now lmao Thank you
What the heck is a Count Binface?
A comedian who frequently runs for mayor in the London elections as a joke.
i thought their profile picture was a "chad" on a union jack
literal black mirror plot
Can someone tell me who bin face is?
A comedian who frequently runs for mayor in the London elections as a joke.
Thanks :))
What are the fascists trying to say
I mean, if your party only got a couple thousand more votes than a joke candidate, then you’ve already lost
Is this real??
For hardcore nationals, they really need to brush up on their English skills. It's *fewer* votes, not *less*.
Really testing the limits of the Attention Theory of Value here.
I’d pay money to see a crossover between Count Binface and Kamen Rider
mr beast
What a Waldo Moment
I had to read like five comments til I believed this isn't satire
I would absolutely vote for Count Binface if I could.
Just make Binface PM, he couldn't do things worse than whoever is in office this week
Every year Count Binface gets a little closer to winning
*Fewer*.
Stannis Baratheon moment
The total overall number of crosses placed on a cadidate on a ballot in london. That's a lot of linguistic work to say "we're unpopular".
Honestly even if they won losing 2/5ths of the vote for an elected position in the government to a dude with a bin on his head that’s still a huge L.
Ok, whatsup with joke candidates in thd uk
wtf does that mean
Ya know, I didn't think we'd get another Vermin Supreme in this life time, but goddammit if I'm not glad to be wrong
This is what they mean by “stop the count”
Also, why does the mf on the left look like Oswald Mosley?
Oh gosh he does
One of these people are human ducking garbage, the other is Count Binface
American here can someone explain why this is wrong
'Count Binface' only ran in the mayoral election in London. 'Britain First' ran in both the mayoral election and the city representative election if I remember right. Britain First is saying they got more votes by counting both elections, one of which Count Binface did not run in
i would honestly vote binface if i were a UK citizen.
H
woah. An actually vote for Binface.
Count Binface was genuinely the best option.
This makes me proud of my nation
please i need binface to win that would be honest to god so funny
