Nigel Farage faces off against Count Binface in special election that's been denounced as a stunt
LONDON (AP) — Nigel Farage, leader of the anti-immigration party Reform UK, had hoped a special election Thursday for his Parliament seat would help quell awkward questions about his finances. But with the major parties refusing to field candidates in the election, voters in a small seaside resort outside London are choosing between a man with eyes on the prime minister's office and a random assortment of candidates, led by a man wearing a trash can on his head. Please check your inbox to confirm. Farage triggered the vote last month when he quit his seat in the hope that it would put to bed questions about his finances and result in a resounding victory over his main political rivals from the Labour and Conservative parties. He said he would let voters judge him in a "people versus the establishment" contest.
