Count Binface takes on Nigel Farage in UK by-election
Aspiring politician Count Binface is challenging Nigel Farage in the electorate of Clacton in perhaps one of the most intriguing elections in British history.
The by-election was called when Farage resigned his seat after becoming embroiled in a donation scandal, hoping to show voters still support him.
But things took a turn after the major parties confirmed they would not contest the vote for Farage’s seat in south-east England.
Comedian Jonathan David Harvey, better known as Count Binface — a self-described “intergalactic space warrior” — has emerged as his key rival.
