Count Binface, whose real name is Jonathan Harvey, is a comedian and independent candidate known for his space-themed attire and trash can helmet. He first entered politics in 2017 as 'Lord Buckethead' before changing his name due to copyright issues. Binface recently participated in a Makerfield by-election, receiving 95 votes, which accounted for 0.2% of the total. He has previously run against notable politicians, including former Prime Ministers Rishi Sunak and Boris Johnson.
Following Nigel Farage's resignation from Parliament, which has prompted a by-election, Count Binface is the only candidate confirmed to run against him. Farage has framed the upcoming election as a contest between the people and the establishment. Binface has stated his intention to be a unity candidate and has pledged to build at least one affordable house. He has also made headlines for his unconventional proposals, such as nationalizing singer Adele due to her economic impact.
