American politics is sometimes described as a circus, but over on the other side of the Atlantic in the United Kingdom, things can get pretty weird, too. Enter Count Binface, an “intergalactic space warrior” who bills himself as the leader of the Recyclons from the planet Sigma IX, claims to be over 5,900 years old, and may well soon be an elected official.
Count Binface has been a bizarre fixture in British politics for years, appearing at high-profile elections with a bizarre set of policies and an eye-catching outfit. However, the Count has never been anywhere near a serious contender, but he did manage to come 11th in the 2024 London mayoral election with 24,000 votes.
