The hero we all need.

I can't think of a single country in the news today that wouldn't benefit from being ran by this guy. With what is going on in the UK right now, I've ordered my figure of him.

Vote Binface! It isn't like he can f**k things up any more than your current candidate, wherever you are.

(For people outside the UK, this is someone standing for election. He is highly unlikely to win, but if he did it would cause a major upset in British politics and most likely make me fall off my seat and injure myself laughing).

I've been following the Binface saga with great amusement. Fully looking forward to the electoral debates.

And maybe that hand dryer will finally be moved to a more sensible position

He's running against Farage, right?

Yes, he is running against the man I've recently been calling Count c**tface (and there is a word in there that I don't like using), as Farage engages in a bit of a political stunt to try and distract for him and his shady business dealings. The main parties are refusing to engage and Count Binface is his major opponent since the big parties are not fielding candidates.

Have any of these prank candidates ever won an election in the UK? It would send a strong message if they did.

Without googling, iirc The Screaming Mad Monster Party had a candidate or two elected over the years, possibly Screaming Lord Such himself. It is incredibly uncommon (to the best of my knowledge), but it happens.

EDIT. After a quick check it turns out The Screaming... didn't have any successful MPs, although I'd swear they had at least one in the 90s. Oh well, must be misremembering.

Stuart Drummond was elected as mayor of Hartlepool after running in the guise of Hangus the Monkey, the local football club's mascot, and re-elected twice after that.

I know a porn star was elected to Italy's Parliament, but I think she ran as a "serious" candidate.

I recall that being in the newspapers at the time. Apparently a security guard didn't recognise her and wouldn't let her in their parliament, so she flashed her boobs at him and he then realised who she was and let her in.

I have a friend from Hartlepool who I tease a lot about the monkey hanging.
