1. #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.

2. #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! #UKPolitics
