Nigel Farage, the British populist leader, sought to reaffirm his power this week by announcing his resignation and the triggering of a special election following allegations over his personal finances.
However, his potential challengers refused to take part in the election and he'll only face a parody candidate: Count Binface, portrayed by comedian Jon Harvey, who has ran in several British parliamentary elections wearing a trash can on his head and a superhero-resembling suit and cape. "Game on, Nige," said in a social media post after Farage's announcement.
