Count Binface

ABOUT MEI’m an intergalactic space warrior and leader of the Recyclons from planet Sigma IX. I came to Earth in 2017 and stood against Prime Minister Theresa May (as ‘Lord Buckethead’), going went viral (in a non-Covid way). Then in 2018, after an unfortunate battle on the planet Copyright, I rewspawned in my true form as Count Binface to take on Boris Johnson in the 2019 election, where I scored a surprising 69. In 2021, I received 92,896 votes (including 24,775 first choice votes) from the humans of London, who made me their 9th choice to be Mayor of the Earth capital, out of 20 candidates. This is a new record for an alien standing for public office on planet Earth. (I also defeated Piers Corbyn and UKIP in the process.) In 2023, I came 8th in the Uxbridge (and South Ruislip) by-election, winning 190 votes with a 275% increase from 2019. I defeated Piers Corbyn and UKIP again in the process. I campaign for justice, lasers, Lovejoy, affordable croissants and the return of Ceefax. In 2024 I fought to be London Mayor again, winning 24,260 votes and defeating Britain First, and then took on Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at the General Election in Richmond & Northallerton, achieving a (moral) victory with 308 votes. These are factual results. My best fictional result is in the hit TV show Industry (Season Four, Episode Two), where I take on Kit Harington in Wakefield (not a sports hall in Cardiff) and win 309 votes! My hobbies include invading star systems, dominating inferior species, and the Lovejoy box set.
