 . Farage would support payments of 99 £million to himself, however it gets to him. He'd probably be happy to have Clacton residents £99 million poorer, if he could get it. | |||

"If he wins he is guaranteed to be investigated and rightly so. There are 34 candidates so voters are not restricted to Farage or the bin guy.

"Farage will win, Binface will get a decent chunk of the vote, thus humiliating Farage." Will Farage be humiliated? In your eyes, yes, he already is, but in the eyes of those on the right maybe not. Farage will be able to point at those votes cast for Binface and say that each one comes from a Labour or a Tory or a Liberal voter that was denied their actual choice because their party refused to put up a candidate against him. While you will see humiliation for the man standing on the stage, right wingers will see humiliation for the people that can't be seen because they were too scared to turn up. | |||

Dude will you stop it with the snowflakery over people not being able to vote for their preferred party in Clacton .This by-election has given the country a badly needed belly laugh. Don’t deny us that. Lighten up and enjoy the moment. I’m sure there will be another by-election around the corner when we can all get serious and oh so earnest about the importance of voters having their voices heard. | |||

"And then we go through it all again after the investigation into his dodgy dealing. The man us a disgrace. " Exactly He'll either get suspended or quit again, leading to another by election. Then he'll go on a crusade against the press and hopefully fuck off to America | |||

"It seems that the other parties are too cowardly to contest the election. At least he is giving the electorate a chance to express their opinion of him. We will know what they think shortly. Democracy in action. " The other parties are not cowardly. They chose not to enter the farce created by Farage. This is self serving politics. His claim to be a man of the people is a farce. Nothing in common with ordinary folk when saying he could buy ferraris with the 5 mill. Needs to get a grip. A reduced share of the vote would be a deserved humiliation. | |||

I'm not saying that the people are being denied a vote, I'm saying that Farage will spin it that way, and that people will agree. I'm saying that the other guy is wrong about this being a humiliation for Farage. | |||

"The other parties are not cowardly. They chose not to enter the farce created by Farage." It's the other way round. When Farage called the election he was taking a risk. It only became a farce when all the other main candidates pulled out. The farcicality was created by the other parties. "Nothing in common with ordinary folk when saying he could buy ferraris with the 5 mill." It's a crass thing to say when taken out of context. But at the time he was being interviewed by a man called Nick Ferrari. "A reduced share of the vote would be a deserved humiliation. " Last time round he got 46.2% of the vote. It'll be interesting to see whether the anti-Farage crowd all turn out to vote for Count Binface, or whether they all stay at home. | |||

Nige to be fair to him is styling this out as well as can be expected but the old adage of “choose your battles carefully” will resonate with him for the rest of his political career. | |||

The whole thing is a waste of time and money and the fact that it has turned into a farce just reinforces the point. It was a miscalculation to start with and has rightly been ignored by almost everyone. | |||

TBH I’m not bothered about the BS that the other parties are spinning about not standing candidates. Name me a political party that does not deploy some form of bullshit spin to further its interests? But I’m still finding the whole Farage v Count Binface hilarious. It’s so Monty Pythonesque and appeals to most people’s sense of humour in this country. I appreciate you disagree so we’ll disagree agreeably. | |||

"An awful amount of this thread suggests that Farage supporters are influenced by facts. They are not." "The same could be said of Farage haters." "That may be the difference. Sympathy for the misguided seen by them as hate." I see comments like "The man is a disgrace", and "he'll go on a crusade against the press and hopefully fuck off to America", which I class as Farage-hatred. I'd be interested to see you quote what you think is 'sympathy for the misguided'. | |||

Every man and his dog is complaining about Farage and the moment chance to remove him from parliament appears, it’s passed off as not playing is game. I can’t see how anyone can complain after this. | |||
