Nigel Farage retains seat to return as MP as Count Binface gets 9,500 votes
Nigel Farage has won the Clacton by-election, but he did not attend the count over disputed claims of a “credible threat” against him.
The Reform UK leader secured 22,232 votes, comfortably winning the by-election he triggered by deciding to stand down amidst ongoing scrutiny over his financial affairs. His next closest challenger, Count Binface, secured 9455 votes.
However, Mr Farage did not appear at the count alongside the other candidates after he claimed that Essex Police informed him about a threat against him.
He told reporters: "I am damned if I am going to stand on a stage, having won a resounding victory…. and be demeaned and humiliated by nobodies."
However, Essex Police said it had "robust" policing in place at the count and did not tell any candidate not to attend, The Independent understands.
Mr Farage was due to make what was billed as a “major speech” in Clacton at 10.30am on Friday, but Reform cancelled it, saying he had “already commented on the expected result of the by-election”.

>Nigel Farage declares victory against the establishment.
A pantomime character, not the establishment who chose not to contest the by-election.

Your assumption is incorrect.
> they just do the bidding of their masters like good little drones.
You just described pretty much 99.9% of MP's.
The UK has a long history of absurd characters standing (Used to be the Monster Raving Loony Party) - people vote for them as a 'protest' against the mainstream candidates.
