- #CountBinface would be a far less depressing loss than #CarolVorderman would be if #NigelFarage won.
There's a significant chance that Farage will win, given #ClactonOnSea's past record. Beating Vorderman, whom they hate, would be a feather in #ReformUKLtd's cap.
But they couldn't crow about sticking it to 'the establishment' when they only beat a comedian in a bin; who, moreover, has 9 years of practice turning election losses into pointed sound bites. c.f. Makerfield!
- #CountBinface running would spur the political commentators into remembering when #NigelFarage ran against John Bercow over another little matter of houses, and faced John Stevens's dolphin named Flipper.
It's Silly Season, remember.
#CarolVorderman & the others need only to step back and let the journalists, desperate for stories, gorge themselves on Farage versus Binface; which will just make Farage look even worse, especially if xe gets cross on camera again.

- #CountBinface has already declared (as of 15:19 BST today) as a unity candidate.

The only people left to state a position, as I write this, are the Greens and any other potential unity candidate such as #CarolVorderman.
It's daft to split a 'unity' vote.
Yes, the Count is satirical, whereas Vorderman would be serious. But that brings me on to point 2.

I really dislike using 'TACO' here. It's a poor show that this has caught on as the name for this. Not bombing a nuclear power plant should not be regarded as 'chickening out'.
It is not cowardice. It is refraining from performing an evil act, one that should not have been decided to do in the first place.
