      He has a certain charisma to a subset of people. It’s a similar effect as trump in the US, only to a smaller subset of idiots.

      The things he claims don’t hold up to scrutiny, but that doesn’t matter to some. They just hear the surface promises, and don’t think deeper.

      People who are fucked by the status quo and wants something different… Erhn wait. Binface was on the ballot?

      Yeah apparently 62% of Clacton just hates anything not British, so they can’t vote for a spacefaring warlord

        I suspect that a lot of it has to do with paid votes and/or manipulation.

        It makes no sense that people ALWAYS vote against their own interests.

        This is more likely.
