And he's not gonna be elected, it's gonna be Farage

Liberals want to own Farage by letting him run uncontested, that's really gonna show him

unfortunately the people who will be voting in clacton are not the average member of the british public. its an ex-tourist town in deep urban decay. this, as with most local elections, will be a vote of white pensioners

i would love it though if by some miracle of fascist infighting or farage fucking dying the bin manages it. binhead take my energy

This is correct. Clacton is a retirement home of old conservative people that has been battered by years of neoliberalism. And you know how they plan on fixing it? More neoliberalism and blaming immigrants.

sad but i think your analysis is sound. i live in an area with not-too-dissimilar conditions and vote share and, yeah, shit's bad.

but, still, i will remain quietly hopeful.
