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.

A bar chart showing that 33% of Brits want Count Binface to win the Clacton by-election, 21% want Nigel Farage to win, 32% prefer neither, and 13% don't know.

21% still want Nigel Farage to win... the guy that decided to resign so the people "have the choice" to vote between him and a bin. And on a completely unrelated note would also stop the investigation into his corruption.

Support for Reform correlates with fewer academic qualifications (see chart below, from here) so maybe what has happened is that politicians for too long have failed to help people with fewer academic qualifications. Maybe that's why such people are willing to support a different sort of politician like Farage.

A bar chart showing support for political parties according to three education levels: "low (GCSE or lower)", "medium", or "high (degree or higher)". Support for progressive parties (Labour / Lib Dems / Greens) increases as the education level increases, while support for right-wing parties (Conservatives / Reform) decreases as the education level increases.

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.
