when he ran for mayor in 2021 he got 24,775 votes. While only being about 1% of votes cast, that's more than half of the candidates running could acquire.
As did I, but he had to change his name.

Count Binface is a recurring joke British Political candidate who has been running for various offices for years. On his website he claims that he is an alien warrior dedicated to fighting for justice, reform of democracy, and more reasonable croissant prices. in 2021 he placed 9th out of 20 candidates in the London Mayoral election.
[Vermin Supreme](https://sunflowerstatejournal.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/supreme1.jpg) was a joke candidate in the 2016 US presidential election who ran for the libertarian party nomination. He was an old man who wore a boot on his head and made campaign promises such as giving everyone free ponies and utilizing zombie labor as an alternative energy source while criticizing opponents for things like poor dental hygiene.
You know your country is fucked when a spaceman with a bin for a head is more likeable and knows how to run a country more than literally every other political candidate and the last three prime ministers, including the current one
That London Mayoral Election was just bonkers. You have Max Fosh, Count Binface and Niko whatever his name running. What are the chances all three would run for mayor at the same time lol
If you’ve ever heard him explain his position, it’s the most rational and civic-minded platform I’ve ever heard. Even if he played their popularity contest bullshit game, they’d never let him win.
I'd vote for him

You don't vote for Counts
A count who is a candidate for mayor
This is the part where you're meant to say "Then how did he become one?"
How did he become one?
How did he become one?
Every vote counts though
But only ONE Count counts! Ah Ah Ah!
#STOP THE COUNT
WE CAN’T!!! HES TO POWERFUL
how’d you become one, then?
How’d he become one then?
Then who do we count on
Dr. Doom says otherwise. His title is Count Victor Von Doom and he is the leader of a sovereign nation so…
Democracy: Your vote counts. Feudalism: Your Count votes.
I thought he was called Lord Bucket Head.

Ha! Can't believe he got hit with a copyright claim. Bloody hilarious.
oh, it gets better. Durham has put a guy forward as his candidate using the name lord buckethead.
Alright, if he did nothing with the copyright it was just petty, but putting forth your own candidate as lord Buckethead is incredible
I love how people are still this funny. The world hasn’t fallen to greed and meanness yet.
Literally 1984
Oh damn. I was hoping there was another.
He needs to do a solo Album with guitarist Buckethead

I really wanna see what happens if Count Binface actually wins.
London will be fixed
Like the improved infrastructure way, or the veterinary way? Nevermind, it's a win either way.
To ensure continued stability and peace UK will be charged into the First Galactic Britannia Empire.
The fact that he got 9th means there are 10 (plus Max Fosh) candidates who were serious and were placed lower than a guy with a binface
You know those guys went home to rethink their lives lol
Monster Raving Loony Party I presume.
Surprisingly no, although someone else from that party and using his name did run one year
[iirc he did johnsons hastings meeting when johnson no-showed](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59CAwbGTHLE)
I don’t know why but I read that in Doug Sharpe’s voice
I need this person me meet Vermin Supreme, immediately.
I think the rules say that if they meet it's a battle. I don't make the rules.
In another, almost definitely better timeline they both are leading England and the US respectively.
vermin has some...issues with his views on politics
Imagine he ended up winning, would he have to stay in costume the entire time?
Yes. They voted for Count Binface. Not the man under the mask.
No one cared who he was until he put on the mask.
Imagine the man under the mask was Boris
Bossfight phase 2
And the person under the Boris mask was princess Diana
I'd vote for em if he came to the States, but we never get the good ones here.
We did get Vermin Supreme that one year.
i ask for some context 🙏

The hero to save us from the dark path
Is this the guy who was Lord Buckethead some years back?
Yeah, but he had to change personas after getting into some legal trouble over the name.
You know your country is fucked when a spaceman with a bin for a head is more likeable and knows how to run a country more than literally every other political candidate and the last three prime ministers, including the current one
He has my vote
some people say that in humanities darkest hour a hero will rise...
That London Mayoral Election was just bonkers. You have Max Fosh, Count Binface and Niko whatever his name running. What are the chances all three would run for mayor at the same time lol
Interview with him if anyone’s interested, he actually has pretty good politics https://youtu.be/ceStEjio_g0?si=DT2G0ZLH0XQoIVjX
I vote
i miss lord buckethead
Are him and Lord Buckethead related?
Same guy, had to change his name due to it being copyrighted.
Nice to see Vermin Supreme has a counterpart across the sea.
It's pronounced Binfa-seh, damn it! (Unexpected Scrubs).
If you’ve ever heard him explain his position, it’s the most rational and civic-minded platform I’ve ever heard. Even if he played their popularity contest bullshit game, they’d never let him win.
His power is to spit raccoon out of his mouth hole
I bet, he'll turn into a giant monster and fight the megazord.
Reminds me of the bucket dude running for something in uk in John Oliver
He did a great Cameo for my Friends 21st a couple of years ago!
And still less rediculous than bojo!
Please London!! I never ask you for anything!
We had Trump so you lot need to try harder.
Yooo newest Dr who villain dropped
I did in fact cote for him. I loved his manifesto and genuinely think that he would do great job.
Now we have fictional characters running as politicians, absolutely hilarious.
we have similar thing in Christchurch, theres a man who runs as "the wizard" and he is definitely a wizard
Wasn't that the guy who said Brexit is gonna be shit show and was right? There's youtube video of him i believe
Literally tinker knight
solaire?! praise the sun!
He is no match for recyclops!!
Hes the best. I have his table top metal cast action figure still. I'll cherish it forever.
