A serious candidate could probably defeat Farage but they are hiding behind this Binface thing and present it as a smart move. Cowards.

  I think you wildly misunderstand the situation. If what you think is true, why did Farage step down call the election in the first place? It seems rather clear it was a PR stunt he knows he'll win in this district, which lets him distract from his own corruption scandals. But if you think there is some other reason I'd be interesting to hear the theory.

    A joke candidate with a bincan head has about 15-20% odds of winning this election. A serious candidate from a real party could have a real chance of defeating Farage but seems noone was brave enough. Better play it safe, take no risks and run away from fights. Thats the way forward for UK.

      Why bother when they'll more likely than not run it again in a few months anyway?

      No, better to make him look like a corrupt loser running up against a guy in a bin costume. And it works!

  Count binface is NOT funny.

  They probably couldn't. Farage is in very safe seat. He wouldn't have called the election otherwise. You don't vote for a comedy character to win an election in a safe seat, because they won't. You vote for Binface because you think Nige is wasting money on a pointless box ticking distraction instead of spending the money locally to fix things. Farage hasn't got much of a sense of humour but if massive majority gets smaller he might spend more time in the area and less time in America on speaking engagements.
