Public and legacy media loves and strongly prefers the guy buying houses with unexplained money or failing to report weird "gifts" that influence his activity.

I'm afraid people of Clacton will have to share the news of the Count, to actually make an effort and vote.

I really do hope binface gets in because he's just a regular dude with similar sensibilities to most people actually living in their community.

But then I saw the interviews run on residents and who they'll be voting for, most of them creaky pensioners and most of them saying something like "I don't know anything about what's happening but I'm going to vote for Farage again anyway". I won't be surprised at all if Farage gets in again, tribalism and apathy strikes again.

>he's just a regular dude

You know he's a TV writer for political shows right? He's not just some bloke down the pub

Jon Harvey seems pretty educated as per a political quiz interview. My main objection would be he doesn't necessarily have public administration/organizational management skills/experience.
