Londoners would rather vote for a guy with a bin on his head than Britain First 😂👌

[@KentVigilante]

Might as well rename it to Londonstan now that's why, majority populated by people that have immigrated there and brought their culture there in the last 60 years, and at the same time Londoners have moved to elsewhere in the country or abroad, these are facts I went to London once a decade back when I was child and it was too overpopulated even back then and made me glad that I live at the Kent seaside.

Binface is an amusing joke, and with the previously electoral system a harmless one. But with the move to first past the post the there was a risk he would hand victory to Susan Hall. But I think the most amazing thing for me is binface doesn't even live in London! and I know you only have to live or work in London to stand for Mayor, but still, I'm not sure I like the idea of someone living on the Sussex Coast standing for Mayor.

in Denmark we had a joke candidate an actor, musician, comedian and tv commentator. Jacob Haugaard who ran for every parliamentary election for a small independent joke party; "Union of Deliberate Work-avoiding Elements" (Danish abbreviation SABAE) slogan was "if work is healthy, give it to the sick!". He ran as a joke from 1979 onwards, until he unexpectedly won a seat in the 1994 general election; he won on a manifesto of; more tailwind on bicycle paths, Nutella in the rations of soldiers (which was actually implemented), and shorter queues in supermarkets. although as his time in parliament impressed on him, he actually took his seat serious for the years he was in parliament. -When his portrait was hung in the parliament, Haugaard commented that it should serve as a warning that any idiotic populist might get elected.

Count Binface is my choice. Who else is out there has in their manifesto a Night Mayor on Elm Street? Thames Water Bosses being tossed in the Thames is a great idea. Tying Nurses pay raises to Minister's pay raises is brilliant.
