Count Binface roasts Farage with musical party election broadcast

The Count Binface by-election campaign has gone up another gear after the intergalactic space warrior released his party election broadcast.

With the Clacton by-election just a week away, the eyes of the political world are moving towards Essex to see if Count Binface can do the unthinkable and beat Nigel Farage on home turf.

The polls suggest it’s going to be highly unlikely, but that’s not putting the Count off!

He’s announced policies in his manifesto and now Count Binface has done his first party election broadcast.

In a musical number, Binface goes for Farage’s jugular, pledging to “make Clacton clean.”

In the video, Count Binface hits out at “unconditional gifts with a curious whiff” received by his opponent and promises to spend more time in the constituency than he will in Washington D.C.

You can give it a watch below.

Whilst Count Binface isn’t Farage’s only opponent in the Clacton by-election – a record 34 candidates in total are standing – he is widely considered the main threat to the Reform leader’s hopes of returning to parliament.

Polling released this week showed that Count Binface is on track to get 20% of the vote, whilst Farage is polling at 73%.

So, it’s looking like an uphill battle for the space lord from Sigma IX. But, as he points out, if every person who voted for a party other than Reform in Clacton at the 2024 general election gave their vote to him, the race would be a close run thing.

Never say never.
