He would become a member of parliament and Farage would no longer be a member of parliament. He might have to take off the Binface costume to actually enter parliament though
Count Binface has run in other elections before as a joke of sorts. It’s just that the major parties are not running anyone in this election. Farage resigned and then immediately ran for his by-election to pause the investigation into his 5 million pound crypto “donation” since the body doing it can only investigate while he’s a member of parliament. The other parties aren’t running so that Farage doesn’t get the narrative win of the byelection making him “vindicated by the people”
Thanks for an excellent explanation, I have avoided articles about Farage, because I don’t think he deserves attention.
So it’s nice to finally understand what all the noise around him is about. 👍
They may not always be more greedy than average, but they have no morals, and that’s the part that makes them easy to bribe.
They don’t understand that it’s a problem when people give them money.
Given that far-right politics are about domination and performative cruelty, being greedy and corrupt is consistent with its principles. Any far-right politician who wasn’t out for self-enrichment would be at risk of being denounced as “woke”.

Cheesus is literally every far-right populist on the whole planet greedy and corrupt?
I mean there’s plenty other reasons to hate them, but greed without ethical constraints seems to be one requirement.
