LONDON (AP) — Count Binface, a serial comic candidate who wears a garbage can on his head, is stealing the show in a special election after being a running joke in British politics for nearly a decade. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.

The so-called intergalactic space warrior is among a field of 33 other candidates facing off Thursday against Reform UK leader Nigel Farage in a contest being boycotted by the major U.K. political parties.

But Binface stands apart from the others from the wacky side of British politics with his garbage bin-topped suit of armor and absurd policies listed in a 20-point manifesto.

The leader of the Recyclons on the so-called planet of Sigma IX is a firm believer in the practice of reuse. His manifestos over the years reflect this by mixing the old with the new in the policies he’s announced during challenges against several prime ministers and the mayor of London.

Binface says he stands by his past manifestos.

Here’s a look at policy highlights from the current campaign in Clacton-on-Sea and previous races:

  • 01I will cut your taxes, and raise everyone else’s.
  • 02I pledge to build at least one affordable house.
  • 03Arcade grabber games to be made fairer so players actually have a chance to win.
  • 04Oil and gas companies to pay for solar panels for everyone. (From Jack, aged 10.)
  • 05A windfall tax on cozy crime novels written (or “written”) by celebrities.
  • 06A referendum on whether Pluto should regain its planet status.
  • 07Potholes to be filled, using copies of the 2024 Labour Party Manifesto.
  • 08Wi-Fi on trains that works. Also trains that work.
  • 09Cyclists who break the highway code to be forced to ride unicycles instead.
  • 10People who use speakerphones on public transport to be conscripted.
  • 11The hand dryer in the gents’ toilet at the Crown & Treaty pub, Uxbridge, to be moved to a more sensible position.
  • 12Wallace and Gromit to be knighted, for services to Wensleydale.
  • 13Loud snorers... (text cut off)

In this election, Count Binface's eccentric persona and humorous promises are capturing the attention of British voters, adding a unique flavor to the political campaign.
