When either Rishi Sunak or Keir Starmer take to the stage to hail victory in the British election on Friday, they will be joined at their moment of triumph by either a man with a trash can on his head or someone dressed as “Elmo” from the Muppets.
Dressed in a silver outfit with matching cape and wearing a silver trash can as a helmet, Binface says he wants to make the July 4 election “Bindependence Day” and that he is the “sane” choice for the electorate. Among his eye-catching policies are pledges to price-cap croissants at 1.10 pounds , national service for all former prime ministers and that he should represent the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest.
Elsewhere “AI Steve” is hoping to become the world’s first artifical intelligence lawmaker, while the Psychedelic Movement Party candidate in Southend is standing on pledges to ignore the law and open 24-hour cannnabis cafes.
