I only know this because I'm fascinated with the oddness of this election....
If it makes you feel any better, Binface is based on Lord Buckethead, which was a sci-fi character in a knock off Star wars movie and also was a joke candidate well before the black mirror episode.
I think it's a case of life imitating art imitating life.
Funniest part is that Count Binface is not based on Lord Buckethead, it's the same person. He had to change the name due to copyright issues. This really is going full circle.

Fuck Farage, and Count Binface seems like an upstanding citizen deserving of your vote.
That being said, this also feels like another case of a Black Mirror episode being prescient: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Waldo_Moment

If he won, it would make me so happy. I don't even live in the UK. But I want him to win so freakin bad.

Elon gave a million dollars for people to vote for Trump. I'm willing to donate about $3.50 to anyone switching their vote to bucket dude.
