This is a poll of the UK public in general, not the people of Clacton, so it doesn't show that Binface is leading in Clacton. But it's interesting that the British public prefer Binface to Farage.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

When he got in he was clearly terrified, but over time he did participate and take part. I don’t think he could quite believe it.
I loved his parting shot, after his term ended, when his portrait (like that of all MPs) was hung in Parliament and he said: “Let this serve as a warning that any idiot populist can get elected”.
