The UK Count Binface political party is a satirical political party that was founded by comedian Jon Harvey, who portrays the character Count Binface, a self-described intergalactic space warrior.

How would you feel if a humorous figure was a candidate in your local election, and why?
@9RHXLJK7mos7MO
I would chuckle slightly, but not give it too much thought.
@9RHQ2KN7mos7MO
I'd find it funny, but I wouldn't vote for a humorous figure because it feels like a waste.
@9RPPGPK7mos7MO
It'd be entertaining and make me follow more closely

How important do you believe it is for politicians to maintain a sense of humor, and can it affect their likability and trustworthiness?
@9TXXFVSLiberal Democrat5mos5MO

In conclusion we need more honest and naturally likeable and trustworthy politicians instead of those putting on an act.

What role do you think humor should play in politics, especially when addressing serious issues?
@9RCN9B97mos7MO

Imagine a policy proposal that mixes absurdity with a serious message; what would it look like?
@9TMRQBB5mos5MO
I would create a character that has everyday issues that would then tell people to act on these issues now.
@ISIDEWITH7mos7MO
What's one absurd policy you wish could be implemented in your town, and what underlying problem would it address?
@9RT893K 7mos7MO
That Street contruction is heavily watched to ensure improvements are widespread
