> Count Binface

I did not expect this to be a real person. Is he with the Standing At The Back Dressed Stupidly And Looking Stupid party?

Hilariously, no.

That would be the Monster Raving Loony party who will apparently also be standing in this by-election. Count Binface has ruled out a pact with them.

I was very disappointed to hear that the Monster Raving Loony party is deciding to stand and split the vote.

I thought this was an opportunity for them to be tactical, but no.

(this is a joke)

Binface's speculation to the media is that the Monster Raving Loony party may split the vote with Farage instead as that is closer to where his loyalties lie.

This is funny :) True, as well...

But if Count Binface convinces them to tactically withdraw, that would be a Loony–Bin pact

Their policies are obviously not compatible, I just don't see how that could work out for either party. Sure you could get more votes that way, but the honourable thing to do is to run seperately.
