@rhyperographer Yeah those are indeed the candidates. Count Binface stands in opposition in whichever constituency is the incumbent Prime Minister’s. The guy next to him is the Monster Raving Loony Party, who do something similar but don’t limit themselves to the PM.
Believe it or not, this is actually a great and noble tradition of UK politics, and I invite everyone to look up Count Binface’s manifesto.
Here it is:
BINFACE MANIFESTO 2024
BLOODY LOYAL TO WHEREVER I’M STANDING FOR ELECTION
1 all Water bosses to take a dip in british rivers, to see how they like it
2 national service to be introduced for all former prime ministers
3 wifi on trains that works
4 trains that work
5 the reintroduction of ceefax
6 children in need to finally get round to fixing pudsey’s eye
7 traffic on northallerton high street to be fixed by a new space bridge, bypassing both level crossings
8 european countries to be invited to join the uk, creating a new ‘union of europe’, if you will
9 wallace and gromit to be knighted, for services to wensleydale
10 I pledge to build at least one affordable house
11 croissants to be price-capped at £1.10, and 99 flakes to cost 99p

13 loud snacks to be banned from cinemas and theatres
14 pensions to be double-locked, but with a little extra chain on the side
15 claudia winkleman’s fringe to be grade 1-listed
16 new series of gladiators to feature ’90s gladiators against age-appropriate contenders
17 minsters’ pay to be tied to that of nurses for the next 100 years

21 the mini golf course at richmond swimming pool to host the open championship
22 mps to live in the area they wish to serve for 4 years before election, to improve local representation
23 the hand dryer in the gents’ urinals at the crown & treaty, uxbridge to be moved to a more sensible position.
24 count binface to represent the uk at eurovision
(these were all commissions, save for Mars who is now living her punk look in canon—though the commissioner specified GIRL punks. so there is an alt for pepper in that final comp that looks a little different, lmao)
Have a crop of a bonus page for Aphelion, I swear this thing is being worked, I’ve just got a lot on my plate. Anyways, enjoy the orbital laser platform venting used lasing medium.
I should probably learn how to do 3D modeling outside of like, CAD, probably would make this sort of thing easier… then again I like learning how to do this sort of thing.
landslide for Labour in the UK elections, count not all in yet (18 still to go) and we’re really pleased the Greens got 4 seats (almost 2m votes), but horrified that the fash Reform party got 4 seats too (and nearly 4m votes)
There were more pro-Gaza independent MPs elected than Reform candidates. I’m not going to undersell how much of the British public is pro-racism, but there are clear and obvious signs for hope if you’re willing to look for them.
that’s really good to know, thanks - though between them they only got 78,321 votes to Reform’s 4 million (such a weird system we have but at least it kept out more Reform)
Comparing the vote tallies for 5 independents in 5 constituencies to the votes achieved by a party that put a losing candidate up in pretty much every constituency across the country is a mug’s game. Divide it out, 78,321/5=15,664 votes per constituency, 4,000,000/609=6,568 votes per constituency. The racists are outnumbered, they’re just Loud.
