EXCERPT:
Nigel Farage won the Clacton by-election. 63 per cent of the vote, more than 22,000 ballots. On the face of it, another clear win for ReformUK. Then you look at second place.
Count Binface — the bloke who campaigns with a metal bin on his head — got 27 per cent and 9,455 votes. More than a quarter of the entire turnout. In a seat that prides itself on being anti-establishment, one in four people looked at the ballot paper and decided the man in the rubbish bin was the best option available.
That’s not a funny anecdote. That’s the story.
The main parties didn’t even bother turning up. No Labour, no Conservatives, no Lib Dems, no Greens. The whole thing became Farage versus a joke candidate, with a few independents and tiny parties making up the numbers. Laurence Fox’s Reclaim managed 347 votes and limped home sixth. The Social Democratic Party candidate got 256 and finished seventh. Under 700 votes between them. That’s not a protest vote. That’s people not noticing you exist.
