I'd just like to acknowledge the fact that even though the Count could exert dominion over such a puny planet, with almost no effort, he continues to participate in the democratic process. Rising above the fact that the last 2 leaders of our nation came to power without soiling themselves with such a mandate. Such benevolence from an intergalactic space warrior, really should be appreciated.
Technically the last 4 leaders got in without a mandate (May and Boris both won leadership contests internally to become PM), it's just that they had the good graces to actually have an election after they'd been in power for a bit (although they both waited longer than Truss's entire term to do so).
"That's the only time you're going to hear that tonight" caught me and my partner dead, not necessarily for how funny it was, but just how quickly it came out. I don't know if he had that one loaded in the chamber or it was off the cuff, but it was a very well-delivered drive-by.
I took the time to read every party's manifesto (and I have to say, the Reform one was as poorly written as it was horrifying), and Count Binface's was second only to the Green Party IMHO. If the Greens wanted to price cap croissants and force Thames Water bosses to take a swim in it, their manifesto would have been flawless. As it was, I was hoping for a Green-Binface coalition. Sadly, 'twas not to be.
Major credit to Jane Garvey for just how well she handled that. Like, obviously she was chuckling and smiling occasionally, but I think she did a damn good job being the straight woman to Count Binface, which only made the whole thing funnier. This was one of the more jarring things about moving for me. We didn't have stuff like this in Australia (to my memory). It's always a delight when election season rolls around and I get to remember people like Binface exist, thank God for him.
@@stephfoxwell4620 I'll be fair and say I moved here when I was 17, so politics weren't on the forefront of my mind back then. Maybe we did have joke candidates, but not to the same extent as over here. And as I finish typing this, I now understand the joke. But I can't be arsed to undo all my writing.
Jane Garvey great questions, Count Binface you really need to come over to this side of the pond, to run for President. You do have time because our election cycle last for f&*^ing ever. I fear you are our only hope.
She was lucky Count Binface has mellowed during this century. During the 1500s he would have seen her only as an energy source and vapourised her on sight. That's growth and progress and I think Count Binface should be commended for that.
If it's hot and sweetly in there you should consider fitting a fan in the helmet. Plenty room up there for one and if run at low enough speed would be barely audible
"A man with a bin on his head", please show a little respect it is not every day an Intergalactic Overlord gets involved in the politics of a minor planet on the edge of the Universe. It is no surprise others can not be bothered if they are treated so shabbily.
