Farage IS a bin.

Or he should at least get in one.

He might get binned this time.

You think he won't find a way to spin this if he doesn't get elected.

Does the Count have to use the comedian's name on ballots?

-inquiring American

I read recently that in the US, candidates have to use their real name.

No such rules here. To avoid "joke" candidates a deposit has to be paid, which is only returned if they get a certain number of votes.

It doesn't really do much to dissuade them, and our elections are definitely more fun with them involved.

Changed his name by deed poll I believe

nope.
